I'm still waiting to get the hand history details from full tilt so I can find out exactly when everything happened. They have been very slow on giving this to me.

Them being so slow about this is inexcuseable.

Shahmat - you could try x-posting this in the News, Views, Gossip forum.
There's a lot of sweating that goes on of the high-stakes FT games. Very possible that somebody over there has the HH's from when your account was busy 'taking a shot'.


Really sucks this happened.
FT more and more is scaring the crap out of me. And I don't even play there.


Have we even been hearing much from FTPDoug and FTPSean lately?

They seem pretty sharp, but more and more it just seems it's a lot of, "We're aware of this problem and hope to improve this within the next few weeks."

Well, it's been a lot of "next few weeks".

They seem to have some serious security issues. And I'm not sure they even care.
"The password is YOUR responsibility. We can't be responsible for any problems you have if somebody else gets it."


Well, there are a LOT of problems going on there.
And there ARE ways FT could help protect their players better such as locking it down if it's accessed from another IP...or giving the user the option to ONLY be allowed to access FT from just 1 computer (or perhaps 2, whatever).


For a company that is making so much money to be so nonchalant about a player who loses $40k and to actually truly believe they aren't in the least bit responsible for making their system and security better is pretty ballsy of them imo.
