Default Stars account hacked

Hi,

my pokerstars account got hacked. I lost 100k in 2 hours.

Strange things:

1. My email address associated with my PokerStars account has been changes on 3.NOV.07 to some @yahoo.com address.

2. Why would someone with access over my computer change the email address? Why they did'nt login directly?

3. There is no money left on my other accounts (NT;PP;FTP etc)? Why wouldn't they just rip em off as well?

4. I think email address change was done in order to retrieve passwords+secure ID via "Forgot Password" field

5. All mone dropped to H0tsh0t111' and 'peej-eh'


Here are my questions:

**Did anyone experience something like and and how are my chances of getting my money back? I have never played NoLimit before and I would not drop 100k grand in 2 hours. It is crystal clear that this is a fraud.

**Does anyone know these Players or seen them playing on 11.NOV or 12.NOV ? Maybe they dropped it further to someelse.

Thank you very much

Pretty easy, stars could check IPs of the players and review the play if its chipdumping.

I feel with u if this is real

Got hand histories from a friend who told me that i have dropped nearly 25k to regulars on the 200 400 fixed limit game.

I need real luck to get any cent back =(

Im shocked.

This all makes absolutely no sense.

Isn't PokerStars Support able to track back who and how your email address got changed!?!?

Such a thing can kill onlinepoker faster than bots.
I hope PokerStars will undertake at least the same effort they did when Greg Raymers account got hacked.

It should make no difference if the money was dumped to a specific person or a ton of regulars...

It would really be the biggest advertisement for PokerStars to show goodwill and credit your account back, even if you are not as famous as Greg Raymer.

We are not talking about a few hundred dollars, we are talking about your whole income, and base for future play.

Don't know what to say, unbelievable.

Sick if true.

Tillermans latest blog mentions that his account was "compromised" in some way. Why poker sites don't have those hardware PIN generator keyrings is beyond me.
