Did you have the RSA token? Daniel? Its good to know if we are secure or not with it.

Colour me stupid, but what the heck are you even saying? What does the top half of your statement even have to do the bottom? How would online poker be any different than before, when it wasn't exactly "legal" before, with plenty of "novices" who had accounts?

Re: Daniel Negreanu's Stars Account Hacked

bank fraud, identity theft, will happen for sure.

ignorance to the fact is ignorance.

strong regulations is all we can hope for.

bot elimination might be impossible and I worry about it all the time

LOL... I'm pretty sure this isn't having nearly the impact that it had on me and he's going to be just fine. For those that don't know my friends on 2p2 raised nearly $7,000 for me and my family. The single nicest thing that anyone has ever done for me.

I did not have the token at the time but needless to say I didn't put a penny in my account until I purchased one. Having the RSA token would have prevented the hacker from gaining access to my account.

Yea I was just trolling. Im sure it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.. I am very skeptical if DN was actually hacked.

Re: Daniel Negreanu's Stars Account Hacked

Daniel will be reimbursed behind the scenes (this will be denied obv) and from this day on all pros will be required in their contract to use RSA

Wow

You have watched too many movies

Make believe I'm a CEO. My employee loses his own money (loans most likely). I am mad and taking more money, not giving it back to him

Re: Daniel Negreanu's Stars Account Hacked

sucks Daniel. So the same thing doesn't happen to others:

Create a Poker Only Email Account

Make a gmail account with a Keepass Password, and switch over all accounts to this email as your primary. DO not use it for anything but poker sites. Secure the Gmail account by adding the Google two-step verification method to the account http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/...-for-your.html and make sure your security question is not possible to guess or solve for someone who knows some information about you. This makes sure that your poker only email account will be damn near impossible to be compromised, making it improbable anyone would gain access to your poker accounts through hacking your email

He's not just an employee though. DN and PS have a mutually beneficial agreement. There's a reason he's on all there adverts and plastered all over their website, he's a recognizable figure in the world of poker and represents credibility. They wouldn't lose him on a dispute over this.

You think topping DNs account up 100k is anything to pokerstars?

I think the Micros could handle a little rake-increase.
