all over the shop. just tried to log in to facebook and it said my password was changed at 12.13pm. went to my email to change password and that password had been changed too. have just this minute got an email from pokerstars saying someone has tried to hack my account there. What steps do I need to be taking now other than changing all my passwords?

oh and email from pokerstars says:
It has come to our attention that it seems someone has hacked your pokerstars account,
In this case, please contact us back via email with the credit card number ending in xxxx and also the three digit security code which appears on the back of your card as well as the expirey date, this will allow us to open your account stright after we recieve this information.
surely not the best idea to do this on a potentially compromised email account?!

If they've got into your email then your Stars $12 is the least of your problems.

yeah - sky, powered by gmail. they've changed my password again. on a plus note stars have banned the ip address as it's apparently not the first attempt. |
