Just got a random spam email:

Hello Craigon David. Just for our players in Ipoker, you nickname AnotherSkippy have rank more than other player,
and we invite you to new poker room. Please click here , and you get more than 2000% on first deposit.

The click here bit is a link in the email, and goes somewhere I suspect you are going to regret visiting.

Where did the spammers get my details? Anyone else get this email? Has my laptop been hacked?

What makes you think your laptop has been hacked?

If you have antivirus then run a scan. I presume they got your username correct?

They can only have got my correct nickname, my correct name, and the fact I play on iPoker from one of 3 places- they've got a leak in iPoker, they've got a leak in the skin (DTD) or they have installed a keylogger on my laptop. I am running anti-virus, but nothing's perfect.

Just got the same email again just now.

I got this email too.  Insta delete.

Would be great if someone could look into it though...

I know a few people who got it overnight, I didn't personally

Guessing an IPoker breach

I suspect the first rule of a scam is to get your grammar correct

Guys we are working with ipoker and our data warehouse to ensure player data is secure.
We will post once we find out what has happened here.

Thanks

I've sent the thread and copy of an email to Nicola, in case DTD haven't seen it (I am sure they have heard about it though)

See what is said.

I've had about 10 emails with this text today so far. It's a DTD related issue as they only use the username I use there. Nothing from my other iPoker skins.
