I had my Full Tilt and Bodog accounts hacked and subsequently drained. That really sucked and kind of soured me on online poker for a bit . . . . it was one of those things I never really thought would ever happen to me.
I don't keep much money online because I play only small stakes ($5 tournaments, etc.), but it's pause for thought. Be careful folks -- it's a jungle out there.
Thanks for that, MOJO. I just did tough new passwords for all 4 rooms where I play. (small amounts each!)

What about this guy Justin Bonomo (I think that's his name), a good poker player, who nevertheless cheated hundreds of players in online tournaments. He's a respected writer for a poker magazine now? How can this be?
@Wolynski: it was his blog, and from how it read, he didn't get (nor expect) his money back.
