While Canadian PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu was enjoying his flight home, someone was playing from his account without his knowledge, the unknown infiltrator lost $46,000 in one session.
Daniel Negreanu reported on a popular poker forum that his email account and then his poker account has been hijacked, he tweeted:
"Important: Do NOT send me any emails the account appears to have been hacked. Just landed in LA nice news."
This was followed by some suspicious events; the hacker reportedly started to play as Kidpoker at $100/200 NLHE HU and 6-max tables, where he played about 400 hands, and lost a total of $46,000 before logging out. Negreanu commented:
"I was on an airplane home while this guy was joyriding my Stars account. He hacked my email and I got that back, still figuring out what happened. When I have all the details I’ll share when it makes sense to.
Some of you NVGtards really thought that was me??? Man HSP has really done wonders for my image :-)"
Many players still speculate that it was Negreanu who used his account and wants to blame his poor play on someone else.
