Start with having our login name being different than what shows up at the tables.

Very good idea and don't know why sites haven't incorporated this yet.

Actually, at least one (Everest Poker) has.

Well done Yuv,
You saved greg a lot of money there.. It was 27K now but how much he had left on his account i'm wondering.

About guessing password. It's clear that users of PS should change their password to something unguessable.
And for Pokerstars, they are warned now.. and they should make a new policy about the passwords. For example, min 12 chars, captital letters included, numbers included, symbols included...

What happened here is really a matter of bad security at pokerstars side. Why blame on them:
a. ppl can try unlimited to login with wrong passwords
b. Greg his password can be something like "fossil123"

.....
But, credits for pokerstars on freezing accounts so fast. Greg is quite lucky there and i'm not sure if all pokerrooms can act so fast there.
Let's hope this is a lesson for other users and that we wont see this posts again about hacked accounts on pokerstars

I believe 10% is the customary reward for recovering monies.

I wonder if Stars would have replaced Raymer's money if this had not been made public. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Wow, you would expect someone smart enough to be able to get his pw would be a little less obvious when trying to move the money.
