I'll try to answer all the questions you guys already asked me, but first off let me start by saying "F you Karmabling", if you think I'm full of it, just ignore this thread and move on.

I am not an internet "noob". My password contained a combination of letters, numbers and special characters, which was a random code that was not guessable. He got my e-mail from the Full Tilt forum and is a computer hacker who can hack into e-mails. I thought maybe the guy was full of crap, so I gave him a random other e-mail that I created with a complicated password to hack and he had the hacked it by the next afternoon. The only "files" I have downloaded on my computer is Holdem Manager, Smart Buddy, Skype, camtasia, AIM, Windows Live Messenger, Norton Internet Security, Pokerstove, Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars. I have downloaded no other programs, and accepted no other attachments. He was able to get into my Full Tilt and PokerStars account my clicking the "forgot password" button and having a new password sent to my e-mail.

If you would like my account name on Full Tilt (as nation asked), PM me and I will gladly give it to you. I'll gladly answer any question, and NO, I'm not looking to try to get you to talk to me on AIM like Karmabling suggests.

google "how to hack hotmail"

Looks like there are some hacker tools for brute force password guessing.

Also there seems to be a more elegant method for gaining passwords.

There even seems to be a youtube walkthrough for doing this.

I didn't try any of these methods but from what I read it seems pretty easy to do.

My suggestion is to register your email account to something more obscure than hotmail.

Yea, I just got access back to my account earlier tonight. I have registered a completely new e-mail from a different provider. If I am an internet noob for using hotmail, my apologies. I was actually told hotmail was the most secure e-mail to use awhile back by a source involved in computer science. I guess he was wrong.

moral of the story - don't post your login email on a forum

/end thread

any suggestion on a secure email provider?

To be able to hack an e-mail account, first you need to know this e-mail account.

Create a new random ffu43epl5a2mb41lyprah7mm@whatever.com and assign this e-mail to your FTP account. Do not use it for anything else than FTP.

Good luck hacking that.

Karma will punish these hackers don't worry they will get fixed real good. Sorry to hear about your story, hopefully you get everything worked out for you.

I am somewhat skeptical about the reliability and reproducibility of this concept.

Or just buy one quad core PC with 8G RAM (as little as 500$ nowadays) and use separate isolated VMs (without joint network, uninstall microsoft client services) for Poker, p0rn, etc. You can even make it so that the host has no internet access at all, and only the VMs have.

OP, please post the email addy and IM screen name of the hacker.

What are your FullTilt and Stars usernames and passwords?

You have all the information you need if you have his screenname on MSN. It's possible to get microsoft to extract his ISP. Contact them with the security issue and request real-life information.

Might be harder to do anything if he's in australia, but a buddy of mine got caught hacking stupid **** like this in the states. They got his AIM and it was all over after they traced his ISP. No 16-year old is smart enough to use a zombie computer to instant message.

MonkeyPox, I PMed you with the e-mail address. Let me know if you have any questions.

I do make my living using computer science.
