account hacked.

I go to log onto my full tilt poker account just now after not logging in for 3-4 days. I gives me a "waiting for permission" screen then a random 600 fpp point tourney table pops up im all in with 6-3 off or something. My account balance is 1 cent. Someone has been playing on and trashing my account without my knowledge. I emailed full tilt. Do i have any chance of recovering funds or ANYTHING? I'm so phazed.

Depends if the money was lost "legimately" or was obvious chip dumping I THINK...

I requested hand histories to find out and i know none of the money was player transfered. I don't see why someone would hack an account to play seriously and my acct is busted so its not like they played well. when i tried to log into my acct some1 was shoving every hand of a fpp tourney.

Yeah its only fair for them to take money off non-legitimate players so only in cases of chipdumping

Wow what the fuck this is sick?

How the hell does this happen? Individuals can just hack your account, does it depend on how good your password is or computer security such as key loggers and what not?

Hope full tilt support can clear this up and hopefully you can save the majority of your br

Stay logged in all the time, never download shady ass programs or go to shady ass websites, virus check your pc every day, and make a hard password.


There, I just made your account 99.9999999999999999999999999999999% "hack proof".

shit aint right

hope you get it all back

GL

pretty sick, do you know how it happened?

Isnt this now the second or third story about this in like a week now? Some new program / site out that people have been visiting or something?

unless it was blatantly dumped you wont get it back, and even if it was only small chance

try to keep your accounts logged in at all times/buy a computer to use only for poker

were yu drunk?

does any1 else know ur password?

One other thing that is probably worth mentioning is no matter how good your poker p/w is you should probably take measure to prevent people from working around it. For example, If someone knows your e-mail address and clicks "forgot p/w" in FT, FT will easily send a new password to your e-mail address. If that other person can get into your e-mail address then its all over. So make sure security questions and passwords for e-mail are also secure.
Also a good idea to get a good personal security suite that includes a built in firewall along with virus scanners/identity and privacy protection/ e-mail and IM protection like McAfee. If your using a wireless router make sure its encrypted with passcodes.

oh god that sucks

wait, one thread said that you SHOULDN'T stay logged in, but here u guys are saying to stay logged in... which is right and WHY?

keylogging would be the easiest way to steal a password. if you never type your password it can never be stolen

My little brother hacked my password. I requested the hand histories to see how the hell he lost it all. I didn't have a lot on there but he sure as hell is going to pay.

wow.... lol little brothers are -ev.. out of interest how much did he lose of your money?
