Post passwords
« on: January 22, 2006, 06:08:41 PM »
I would like to let everyone know I found a Hungarian site that has members posting passwords from my forum and many other forums. The member that stole the passwords was easy to track using his IP address this member has been removed from this site and 7 out of the 8 other forums I contacted about posts of there passwords. This is an easy way to loose your accounts here and at other sites.

I sat at a table where an observer was asking for passwords. I usually ignore them, but this time I took a screenshot and forwarded it to the poker site.

I got a form response from the poker site. They sent me an email a few days later saying action had been taken.

I know they are still registered, so if action was taken maybe they lost their chat???

I have heard there are sites that award points and prizes for stolen poker tournament passwords. They consider it great fun to play in tournaments they have no business being in.

I am glad you were able to shut down one offender. Unfortunately there are more out there.
I don't share private passwords, instead I share the IP addresses, usernames and email addressses of password thieves
