My account was hacked 23rd Jan, lost around 40,000 USD. I'm not a gambler and never had a gambling account.
I had changed my password in late December.
I dont understand why skrill is telling people to IP restrict their accounts otherwise sign an agreement that indemnifies them of responsibility!
Most people get their accounts hacked via a Trojan that has infected their PC, this allows a hacker to taker over the PC install key loggers and remote PC control. So even if the IP's where restricted how is this going to stop a hacker that will be using your own IP from your own computer?
So my guess is there has been a big security breach and user data has been stolen.
So far Skrills response from their staff is to blame the victim and have them sign an agreement that indemnifies them of responsibility!
Why did it take 5 years when 7.8 millions users records where compromised in 2010 to announce it?
It is currently unclear as to whether or not player balances held by Skrill are insured by the UK FCA (Skrill is headquartered in the UK) against fraud.
I guess not!
