    Default Raymer Pokerstars Account Hacked

    http://www.pokersourceonline.com/new...unt-hacked.asp

    It's old news, but I can't find a post here about it. I checked ikeyrson on Sharkscope, and sure enough they have him up $26k in less than 15 games.

    Did that guy honestly think he could get away with it? They have a name and address for the account he was dumping into. Crazy.

    “wat kinda person needs to call me?”
    LMAO
    For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.

    I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.

    f'n EH.. that blows. I bet you it's going to be a while if he's going to play there again.. At least this gives PStars a chance to improve their security.

    He admitted he used a fairly simple password... we all have a hand in our own fate, it's up to us to create a secure password. Good thing is PS staff respond around-the-clock and could listen to and investigate the issue.

    One thing to remember is that the more secure you force the password to be the more likely people are to have to write them down. Kind of a catch-22.

    if i play/have thousands of dollars in my pokerstars account, im making my password bulletproof, lol...

    --"A player who happened to decide to watch Raymer in a few heads-up sit-and-go’s noticed that something seemed amiss. The observer contacted a representative at PokerStars and posted his findings on 2+2 Publishing’s internet message board"--

    thank god for people who rail!!!
