My working theory is that the attackers hacked polo, got a list of non 2fa, then went manually through them alphabetical.

The hacker has been able to do this for atleast a month and a half.

The hacker drained my account nearly exactly like yours by setting counter trades.

Yes polo should be able to track this, have they made any effort to call in authorities? I doubt it.

Hence, I believe they should be opened to a lawsuit.




In my case ,at the end of May, I booted fresh from a livelinux CD and used a new email address. The only thing I did different was I had to contact their help desk.
So I'm not sure how my account was compromised then.


Also my compromised account started with an A, so I assume hacker got access to polo database an went alphabetical.

Op did you previously contact the polo help desk for anything.
 Also what letter did your account begin with?


My Account started with A as well (we may be on to something here)!! but not, I did not contact their help desk at all before that,
Did you see any unauthorized activity on your account?
