account hacked - beware

[Poker_Student]

There have been few posts recently about accounts being hacked and money being withdrawn / dumped to others. I would not have paid more attention than a cursory glance had it not happened with me today.

While playing today I saw a link in the chat window where somebody claiming to have video of gaming sites employees stealing money. Curious to know more, I clicked the link and took me to a website (gambling-news.us - if I remember right) I do remember clearly that the site was a replica of another site - it looks the same but the news is not updated - its old news which was from weeks ago.

What was most surprising was that the supposed video was an .exe file rather than a video format. Few hours later my account got [censored] hacked. There was not much to steal though [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Wanted to warn fellow 2+2ers not to click on any links if you notice them in your chat window. Doing so, will help the hacker get the information on your computer.

Did you run the .exe file?

Mod please delete that link Poker posted. Don't know if it is to a legit site or not, but it isn't to gambling911 because of the mispelling.

Why do men marry psycho women?

lol @ running the .exe

Psycho women are the most attractive. Following a strange link, running a strange .exe... that's like marrying a street whore.
