hmm i find those terms concerning. it means if someone did get your password from a keylogger then your money is done. also if there was something go wrong at betfairs end and passwords were leaked youd be screwed. think i may start changing my password every day. would have to write them down then though!

NEVER ever ever
have your password on betfair the same as ANY other you have
and make sure it is letters and numbers mixed ..

obviously if you have a cat called say "TIDDLES" you do NOT use anything like that for your password .... :0
BUT some people ARE daft enough to do it !!..

its not that easy having hard to crack passwords when you need a password for about 50 different sites. unless you keep a record of them all on pc/phone/paper youve no chance of remembering them.

You can get password manager software. It keeps a list of all your passwords in a password protected file so you only need to remember the password for that file.

pmsl ...yer do it in English! ...i use many websites but use a diff password for each site and also diff user names too, the problem may have been my end but it just goes to show how easy it is to get hacked, in fairness i was sloppy, allowing things i never normally do such as p2p downloads for nephew and the like and not scanning or debugging as often as i normally do, hardly surprising i got hacked leaving it as long as i did, those terms and conditions though worry me, as it doesnt matter how secure ur system is, people still get in!!! ...i mean look at history people getting into microsoft or countries defense systems so a little home pc to some wizzkid would be a walk in the park, still think i might add a few things to my system now and change the password regular and make it more difficult to get in, along with keeping my eye on "my security" on here to see what ip addresses are coming in and out and if it happens again then i will create a new acount ...
