Fult tilt account hacked

Furmanski · Jan 16, 2009

Question for you guys...

I have a FT account, but I have never deposited any money into it. I woke up this morning and had 10 emails from FT saying there were deposits and transfers in my account between 2:45 and 3:30am last night.

Obviously someone got into my account and used credit cards to make these transactions, but luckily they weren't mine.

I have contacted FT letting them know that the transactions weren't me.

Is there anything that could possibly happen to me in the sense that these transactions went through my account?

Here is an example of one of the emails I received...I got 4 emails like this and 6 others with deposit requests.

It doesn't say where it went. I have never deposited there so I didn't have any CC's on file. Now there are 3 CC's on file under my account.

I am sure that whoever did this got some stolen CC information and uses other people's accounts to deposit, then transfers the money. What is weird is that they played under my account as well.

Hopefully FT can figure it out, because I sure as hell don't want any trouble from this.

No. I checked my FT account and the transaction history indicates that there were 3 deposits that went through my account for $100.00 each.

There are also now 3 CC's under my deposit options that were never there before.

That's just a mask for a payment processor.

FTP response:

Hello XXXXXXX,

Thanks for writing in.

After a review into your account I can confirm that the deposits in question took place during a login to a computer not considered your primary computer. You ahve not used this computer in the past. During this login $300 was deposited and lost on the tables in legitimate hands. That is, the funds were not deliberately lost to a specific player in a fraudulent manner.

To further understand this issue, we kindly ask you to answer the following questions if applicable:

1) Have you given your login information to a family member or friend?
2) Have you given your login information to any third party websites?
3) Do you often leave the 'Remember Password' button checked?
4) Have you recently downloaded any third party software (data mining programs, e-books etc.)?

Regarding any potential reimbursement I'm afraid we will not be able to refund you the money. From our perspective the money was lost in legitimate hands to legitimate players. Refunding players in these situations would create a loophole for dishonest players to simply claim any loss as fraudulent activity.

Do not let our denial of reimbursement function as any slight to you as a customer. We are by no means insinuating that you are putting in a false claim or attempting to defraud Full Tilt Poker. However, please know that compromised accounts are never the result of any security issues on the part of Full Tilt. Almost always a logical explanation can be deduced after examining the off-site activity of any given username.

Anyway, I just wanted everyone to be aware of what happened. I have never given my information out to anyone, and this really would have sucked if I had money in the account.

Everyone just be careful.

BOL.

Yeah, I did go to FU. I am sure everything will be fine with my account, I just wanted to make people aware that have FTP accounts what had happened.

It would suck to have money in there and it potentially be transferred out or lost by a hacker. Just remember to change your passwords frequently.

It's probably with a stolen CC would be my guess

Cusipz · Jan 16, 2009

Even though they didn't find direct chip dumping, it's possible he was dumping to a group of people - given he lost the full 300$ fast.

Either that or he planned to transfer to a semi legit account and withdraw. Didn't want the CC # tied to that other account.

TTP - how'd ya end up last night? I made a small comeback, saw ya in the double or nothings before I passed out....

Absolutely no idea why they would use my account to deposit money other than for "dumping" it to someone else. I mean, the person lost the first $100, then deposited another $100 3 minutes later, then did the same thing again 3 minutes later.

If that isn't a sign of chip dumping, I am not sure what is.

I thought it was really bizarre. At first I was worried that they had used my CC's as well, but that wasn't the case.

FTP froze my account for the time being, but I hope to be able to see the hands that the person lost money with.

Sorry WW, if I had known it was you I wouldn't have said anything. I am scared shitless of you and the potential harm that may follow.

Just yesterday a guy at work with asked me how Paypal works. Turns out he sold a phone to someone in Nigeria. They sent him emails saying from Paypal that they would not release the $450 to him until he sent the package and sent in proof of the tracking number.. Package mailed and he never looked at his paypal account to even see if the money was pending..

Long story short he is dumb and fuked
