If you've been doing PTR for awhile, then you'll have seen emails about payment accounts getting hacked.
The same can happen to your GPTR programs - and one of our members has written in to say this happened to them and they are scared they are going to lose all their clickings as the hacker is busy deleting all their accounts.
First things first in an emergency like this: For all Cash Crusader programs, simply go to the forgot password page and request a new one as quickly as possible. That way you have some chance of stopping them in their tracks. It's also worth writing to the program owners to say what's happened - some are quite good about collecting access information which can be used to prosecute the hacker.
For programs where your email address is used for the login id: sign in and change your password
Payment accounts - sort them out as soon as you can.
For some programs, you will get deleted if you are inactive for 7 days, so don't dilly dally about.
Now you've heard before that you should use different passwords for different programs, but if you've got a key logger recording what you do, then you need to take this offense.
Once you're sorted, make sure you check the processes running on your machine and set your security high enough to protect yourself.
