I don’t believe so.
I asked him about it earlier today and he didn’t recognize the name.
Nope, no details are close other than Vietnam
No worries I just remembered the fellow you had a problem with was in Vietnam as well. I know its a big country, but if we have an individual hacking affiliates we can alert the AMs and they could head this person off at the pass so to speak.
The same thing was reported on another forum sounds like the same guy.
How did he get access to you account?

I’m hoping that’s something Conrad can answer for us when he is done investigating (I don’t believe it was a fault on my end).
Do you have a link to the other forum where this was reported?
i had a similar problem in december where someone changed my payment details with RA to moneybookers using this email [email protected] .
I’ve managed to contact Moneybookers and they’ve blocked that account. not sure if this person is related to a person known as “tawniat5” in some forums…
i couldn’t figure out how they got access to my account though…
You are safe with Tower
I have alerted all my managers to keep an eye out for this jerk. let’s get this guy!!!
Thanks everyone!
Conrad said he will be contacting MoneyBookers about this guy.
Hopefully this was a very isolated incident!
Nothing over here either..
I actually have a proc that runs every 10 hours and send me a list of the affiliates who have changed their banking details. Since affs are not able to change their email on file themselves (has to be done by me) I can then compare them. If they dont match I contact the email on file to see if there is anything su****ious going on.
The problem with stuff like this is that it could be as simple as you picked up some spyware somewhere that your antivirus didnt pick up and they managed to record your keystrokes or something like that.. this might seem farfetched but I have seen it done so many times.
I had my gmail account hacked about a year or so ago.. took me almost 6 months to get it back, and the only reason i got it back was because I knew who sent me an invite and asked them to resend me that initial invite email..
I also had my paypal account hacked about a year ago causing spendature directly from my linked bank account of in excess of $7000.
I’m very careful with security, but I would bet about 99% that it was because of something i did that caused my account to be vulnerable. I doubt anyone could have guessed my password since it’s random and not guessable.The best advice I can give here is to change your password often, have it as a combination of numbers, letters, other characters and ensure you don’t have the same password for everything.
Good luck!
