    Just got an email from Cardrunners saying they had an illegal intrusion and things like my password, IP address and email address could have been compromised. Do none of these sites have proper encryption or protection? I am shocked after the Sony debacle.

    I got the same email and here is what mine says:

    Dear NevadaRick,

    Last night we identified and stopped an illegal intrusion of the CardRunners servers.

    While no customer credit card or financial information was compromised, we have confirmed that the following customer information related to your account may have been compromised:

    Email Address
    Encrypted Password
    IP Address

    Out of an abundance of caution, we have forced your password to be reset. If you use your CardRunners username or password for other unrelated services or accounts, we recommend that you change them as well.

    CardRunners will never contact you in any way asking for any personally identifiable information so please be vigilant in not providing such information to anyone that represents themselves as working for CardRunners.

    We regret any inconvenience this causes and want to ensure you that we will continue to work to ensure that additional measures are taken to protect your private information.

    Regards,
    CardRunners Support

    PayPal.

    I set up a dummy account for most of the fluff poker extras. It has been compromised. Password and secret question changed. Yahoo still trying to figure out if I am me since I used all random info. Not linked to any payment processors, cc's or banks tho, thanks goodness. Pretty upsetting given everything else that sux in online pokers nowadays.

    * Hope extra security measures are taken going foward in any regulation that may come to fruit. Paying "extra" for something the site should have in place is lol scu/ammy imo.

    getting tons of gambler emails in my irl account also :( *** off to changed sec ?'s and pw's I guess just to be safez...
