Default Neteller hacked...

Hi... I post here under a different name but didn't want to give any more detail away than necessary, hence the anonymous account.

Not sure BBV is the best place for a serious response but it is a definate beat.

Ok.. I came down today to see if my withdrawl from Hollywood Poker had came through and it had, so my balance should have been c.$1000 only it wasn't.. it was like $4. WTF? At 4am this morning some scumfuck has withdrew $1000 from Neteller (basically all but pennnies so they must have had access to the account to know the balance or had a really lucky guess) to MY Victor Chandler account (which I havent used in over a year) and bet $100 on a soccer game and then they have tried to withdraw the rest BACK to Neteller. There was also about 5 attempts to DEPOSIT money to my Neteller account from a credit card from the last week or so which were all declined by Neteller for some reason. Again, WTF? I spoke to the guys at VC who said that based on this it is very likely that it is someone I know rather than some [censored] from the other side of the world but I am 99% sure that nobody else that I know knows these details as they are only kept written down somewhere where no one would look for them at home.

So I got VC to cancel the bet and block my account and send all of the money back to Neteller while they investigate (which was fortunate) and Neteller are contacting me when Security opens in a couple of hours. However, I am 99% sure that this is a hack rather than someone getting hold of my details in real life.

So far I have changed all of my email, neteller and poker site passwords off a different PC in case it is keylogging/ trojan software and emailed the only other site I have money on to be aware of possible chip dumping and block my account if needs be.

This is really [censored] and I've always been pretty careful so far, so what do I need to do here? Any serious advice much appreciated.

Please keep typical BBV responses to a minimum please.

Cheers.
