That's an idea. I could decrease my withdrawl limit to zero... oh but then they would just chipdump.

nvm.

You're lucky they got it in time but why tell you weeks later, something is not right with that.

Yeah well it turns out that I had a trojan on my home desktop. I don't usually use it for poker but sometimes do. I have to assume that was how they got my PW.

This is nuts, what bother me is that Stars has not told anyoen really about this other than a few people. Seems like a good time to recommend to all PS players to check their system and change their PW

What did you mean by this? I know of three people that got the email and it is my guess that we were all hacked by the same person but stars wouldn't answer that question for me.

Well, I mean I would think they would issue a PR and let everyone know so rumors don't start to fly around
