SECURITY ISSUE - PLEASE READ

nice to know, thanks rich

i DON'T PUT that much money in fulltilt account-gl reporting the robber.

ty for the heads up. have they found and punished the scammer yet?

how can u find out? thanks for the heads up anyways

Thanks for the heads up. I haven't had that problem yet but I'll keep it in mind to change my password from time to time to prevent things like that from happening.

Thanks so much!! Sorry this happened to you.. bebewins (ALISA)

thanks for the info, and the reminder...

Happy new Year

I am in no way defending the person who has done this, but I do know that in the past I have forgot what my account name was (put poker on hiatus) and ended up failling to login several times (I am not sure if the account name I was trying actually existed, but this is a possible explanation). Just figured I'd share my thoughts. Thanks, and good luck.

I find that a good password can be the first letters of the words in a sentence or phrase that you can remember (preferably a phrase only known to you, not a catch phrase) and then add whatever numbers u might want to add... bday, anniversary, etc....

For Example... "We're Not In Kansas Anymore" and Bday = 07/17/1980

p/w would = wnika0717

you just want to make sure the letters don't end up being a common word by accident...

No bunson, this was NOT someone trying to remember theirs. I was not the only prorail they tried to access.

Thanx for the info

Happy New Year

Thank you for contactingFull TiltPoker Support.

A new security feature was added to our software to alert players to
any
unsuccessful log in attempts on theirFull TiltPoker accounts.

This alert was triggered on your account because either you entered an
incorrect password when attempting to log in, or another person tried
to
log in to your account.

We reviewed the activity on your account and are pleased to inform you
that your account is secure and all unauthorized log in attempts were
unsuccessful. In regards to whom was attempting to login to your
account, I cannot release the name due to the legal privacy agreement
we
make when a player creates an account, although I have taken the
appropriate action.

There are several ways to protect yourself and keep your account
secure:

1) Never share your password with anyone, not even family or friends.
Treat your password like your bank card PIN, and keep it top secret.

2) Use a complex password. Ideally your password should include at
least
10 alpha-numeric symbols. For example, po_k3R-One is a stronger
password
than poker1.

3) If you decide to use the 'Remember Password' feature, use caution
when allowing others to access your computer. Family and friends may
log
in and play without realizing your account contains real money.

4) Regularly scan your computer for viruses and spyware to ensure there

are no harmful programs on your computer that could capture your
password.

While these precautions cannot completely guarantee the protection of
your computer, they will improve your computer's security.

If you would like to change your account password to make it more
secure, please follow these four steps:

1) Log in to yourFull TiltPoker account.
2) Select "Account" from the top menu bar.
3) Select "Change Password".
4) Enter your current and new password and press "OK".

Good luck at the tables, and if you have any other questions, please
let
us know and we will happily assist you, Jeff.

FundelMental, I have the person's ip. If you click the link there that says view information about your recent login attempts, it gives you the ip.

Thanks for the info.I am now 100 percent aware.

Best to check your PC for any keyloggers and Spyware. Also maybe change the password for your Email account.
