That sucks, try and find out how someone got onto your account.

Ya thats the one thing that stumps me the most, I still cannot figure out how they got access. I am not sloppy at all with security measures.

Is there a FAQ for security measures?

I think it's a long shot, and I'm not sure what you can do about it, but is your FTP password the same as other passwords you use? For example, if you registered on some online site and used the same password as you did for FTP, then it's possible that the online site basically stole your identity. Most websites are reputable (2+2 for instance), but you never know.

They said that it came from a different I.P. address. ASK THEM WHAT IT WAS. You can find out the person's location, contact their ISP, and try your best to get the police to do something. $40K is a lot of money. Good luck.

if u have a good amount of money on a site then keep your account logged in at all times even when you sleep, they cannot get in if your screen name is in.

Sure they can. If the person has the ability to plant a keylogger on your computer, they will also have the ability to plant a remote server or any other back door.

Also, didn't we go over this and the FTP default is to log out the present login and let the new on on instead.
