Skrill Unauthorized Logins Have Online Gamblers Worried

A spate of reported unauthorized Skrill logins have the online gambling community on edge.

Skrill, formerly known as Moneybookers, is a popular money transfer platform for those gamblers living outside the United States.  It is similar to PayPal. 

Attempts to compromise customer accounts have occurred over the past two weeks, according to reports.

One customer claims that $12,000 had been stolen from his account.  Around a dozen other individuals reported compromises since that time. 

The majority of compromises were the result of failed login attempts, TwoPlusTwo.com forum members have stated.

It was unclear what, if anything, Skrill was doing to address the problem.
