I'm sorry, and it's shocking I have to be the one to say this, but jesus ****ing christ how can you just let this go and not proceed with anything?

It's not like this is a one time thing, you saw the email from Cake, you know he's done this to other poker players, and you know he'll continue to do this in the future. He's not sorry. He's just a sorry, lowlife, piece of ****. If you already have an existing claim with the FBI don't cancel it. I know it's going to take more of your time, but give them all the information you have and what tdomeski has. If you don't I think it's pretty selfish of you just to give this whole situation up when you run to the community for help, but in return offer no help to the community to deter this kind of action in the future

He threatened you, and said he was going to **** your girlfriend. He took over your identity, your entire digital life, and had you running around helpless. He wasted days of your time, made you go and get your computers examined, and who knows what else. If he's so sorry, what happens when he loses the 10k on your cake account? Does he just reimburse you when he freerolls the next poker player and gets away with it and make it all better? Everything seems fine now, but if he misses a wrap you're out 5 figures.

I'm sorry if I'm misunderstanding where you plan on going with this, but for the safety of the community do anything you can to have this guy getting ass ****ed in federal prison and away from all of our lives.

i agree 100%

Sounds interesting, but there are a couple of things preventing this from being effective on a nix system. First of all, the clipboard is user specific (or per X11/aqua session), so logging in from a different user will set off a different memory space for that user's/session's clipboard. Secondly, a malicious url pointing toward malicious software will on a nix system have to be manually downloaded, double clicked, dragged onto the application folder, reconfirmed by typing the admin password by hand, and then it has to be run AS the administrator to be able to make any system changes when it's run on a regular basis. Which just isn't gonna happen. Thirdly, there is no real use for anti virus software on a nix, which reduces these user's demand for downloading such software when it's offered to them maliciously.

i agree with Bond on this one... if i got hacked and knew the guys real name i would fly there in a second.

Of course i wouldnt just physically assault him or severely injure him or anything but I would make his life a living hell. I might get arrested for harassment, arson, and physical assault... oh wait

halo, unfortunately for me i have never used a 64bit os so i cannot be any help =[

wtf? no way... I def. tried that one

im not sure if i read this right, but did you really just say youre not going to press charges? are you ****ing serious? its like someone raping your wife, getting her pregnant, but all is well in the end because he apologized and is paying for the abortion.

read first 20ish posts. i'd 100% go to the police

WTF

would there be any reason for OP not going to the police bc online poker is kinda illegal in the US? i mean if there wasn't a risk then its a no brainer obv

he barely even has to mention poker

"hi police. this guy named steph took control of one of my email accounts, and used that to access a lot of my other online accounts such as facebook and online poker. he then texted me, and threatened that if i don't pay him one thousand dollars, he's going to rape my girlfriend, control my accounts forever, and generally make my life hell. can you please help"

just curious, wtf would the fbi be able to about it?

obviously the right thing to do is to give the $ back, but if he would have lost 40k or w/e you would not be seeing any of that....

I got hacked earlier this month on ftp,ap,cake. Stars was fine because of RSA so obviously once AP and FTP come out with that everyone really should get that. AP was the only site that gave me $ back and thats because the hacker lost the majority of the $ playing blackjack.

I got hacked because of poor security of my email account I think. Everything is extremely secure now so thats good but it definitely is extremely annoying the amount of time you have to put into investigating this and securing your computer to go along with the boatloads of $ that were lost.

I am currently trying to look into legal action I can take against the hacker, but I do not know his identity.

im not trying to be a dick guys, but do u honestly think the cops are going to do **** about someone hacking your poker account? I know it's identity theft and all, but, it would involve an inter-state investigation and plenty of man hours. Chances are, they will tell you tough luck buddy, you are **** out of luck, but that's just my guess. LOL @ calling the fbi, how pussy is that? If u know where this 21 yr old punk lives, go over there, or better yet send a bunch of them hungry hood N's from the down block over there, and make an example out of him. Just my opinion

EDIT: also, if the kid is a criminal or a real low down dirty mofo like he seems, doubt he even calls the cops. Most kids like this just take the beating and move on.

lol nice post, no harm in trying tho, right?

i love you jcmoussa , but, come onnnnn maaaannnn.

beatings heal in a few weeks, prison time & felony convictions follow people forever.

plus fighting is extremely unballer.

1) macs can right click
2) there are infinite computer games for macs you just have to buy them from a mac store, not sure about best buy
3) your car has 2 pedals because windows is always crashing and you need that ill break
4) yes they do

he's paying for the abortion with money he stole out of OP's back pocket

Found a decent article about trackers, huds and automation on osx:

http://www.******************/article...-mac-os-x.html

Can't vouch for it tho, as I haven't investigated any further.

Edit: There's a thread about BlazingStars in the software forum.

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/45.../#post14221495

It's too bad this is being let go, It's hard to blame the OP for not wanting to pursue it further, but there WILL be a thread down the road where someone else gets hacked by this toolbag and will go through the same hell over it.

BTW, although Macs are in several ways "more secure", remember that the OP using a Mac would not have prevented this situation whatsoever.

hmmmmm

yeah so I only skimmed this thread. Did this guy **** OP's gf or what?
