Someone played my AP account while I was sleeping today.

I keep very strict records of my play. Before I go to sleep I write down exactly how much money I have in each account. I went to sleep at 6am Pacific time, and had $X in my account. I woke up and logged on and had only $X-160. I first checked the transfer history to see if it got sent to a player. That wasn't it. So I requested hand histories to be sent to my email and saw there were a little over 50 hands of No-Limit. It's been quite a while since I've even played No-Limit. I examined the hand histories, and someone played my account at around 10 in the morning while I was sleeping. I looked through a good portion of the hands and they were playing very badly. Doing a lot of limping and calling and just overall poor play. I don't know if they were trying to chip-dump. It kind of looks like it, but wouldn't they do it heads up? They played 3-handed and continued while it quickly filled to 6. And why for such a small amount? Maybe they though I wouldn't notice just $160.
I've already changed my password and emailed security at AP.

Any of you know how good of a chance I'll get my money back, or any other further action I should take?

I'm wondering about the state of your computer security. Are you up to date with antivirus, firewall, etc?

you're lucky only 160 is missing...

i suggest reformatting the hd

"I've already changed my password"


If your computer is infected with one of those keyloader things, then changing passwords is no help. The keyloader thing has already probably transmitted your new password to the bad guys that infected your computer.

Not "keyloader" - I meant "keyloggers"

Install a software based firewall as well. It'll tell you what applications are pushing data out to the net.

can anyone provide info on how to check for key loggers?
I have a couple of security type programs running including snoop free. But how can we be more secure?

[verybaddd]

virus scans and such, but the only way to be absolutely sure, if you feel that you've have one, is a reformat of the HD.

adware, spybot, avg and use keypass from now on. first format HD.
