    What happened? Description:
    I've been running a Bot for a few months now, without any problems. Although when I checked this morning a large amount of keys were removed gone with a few bits of metal in its place.

    I then looked at my trade history, which I'll screen shot below, to find that this 1111 guy painted all over it. As you can see from the screen shots, lots of keys were traded with items such as ref and scrap.

    I then looked into my config file of my bot, which has been changed completely. To be honest, I don't know if running a bot would have any grounds to report a case such as this.

    The server which the bot is currently running has a full updated version of AVG, Spybot and Malwarebytes. They are all the paid versions, which I thought was solid enough to protect me from anything like this.

    If I'm being truthful, I don't know how this has fully happened. I don't think they have gained access with my server, as login logs are clean. I've also been looking over mu code for the bot, which nothing seems to be out of place and/or have an open hole in it. (I work for an IT security company, ironic I know, but the code looks clean).

    The individual in question has removed me from his / hers friends list, so cannot get a chat log. Unless you guys know a way, which would be helpful for me too as that would most likely hope the answers to how he gained access to changing files on my system.

    I just really want to get this guy banned and stop anything like this happening again. Even though it was about 100 keys which have been lost, I'm more annoyed about the security site of things and how it could happen again.​
