Default Re: Neteller account hacked (xpost)

i use firefox, have nortons and microsoft spyware. i don't use any sort of file transfer service and use gmail (i have opened 0 unknown emails in the past month).

i use a wireless connection, could these have anything to do with it?

It could, but it would be unlikely. Someone in the range of your connection would have to know what they are doing, and you would have to be using an unsecure connection.

I would bet that this is most likely the cause (wireless). If you run virus/spyware programs, and dont mess around with email too much, or at least safely it was probably a wardriver/neighbor that did it. take a look at cain and abel, you will be able to monitor how many computers are associated, but most likely they passively sniffed everything. So get encryption for the wireless net.

Extremely doubtful.

Edit to mean doubtful that was how a virus could have been planted on your computer.

That sucks, dude. Is it not possible that the hack was done on whatever computer you used prior to getting the new laptop?
