Hi,

Just had this thought come into my head, just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on it.

Some people hack into bank accounts etc to steal money, do you guys think it is possible to hack into your pc's not to steal but to copy your trading, does anyone think this has happened to them?

Seems like a lot saver way to make money than stealing, i'm pretty sure you wouldn't get the jail if caught.

I think I'd be more concerned that somebody at Betfair was looking at my account and copying my activity.

No evidence that it is, but that would be my main concern from a security viewpoint. That's a weak link.

The usernames and passwords are for users only.
give me your bet history and I can emulate your activity on betfair. Doing for example a premium charge investigation somebody in charge can download any history you got with them. But even with that it has to be the right person with the necessary skills to use that data.
