I would like to know if anyone has experienced security probelms with EAU and/or FlyerTalk, and I would welcome replies in private email or posted in public. I am making this request based on the following.

About a week ago, I received email indicating that I had been upgraded on some transcontinental flights. I was not booked to fly these flights. I called CO's Elite Line, and had a lengthy discussion culminating in speaking with corporate security.

It seems someone hijacked my OnePass account number, in one way or another. Here's what I know. Someone registered for OnePass somewhere in the San Francisco area, and obtained a OnePass account in my name. They booked flights, and paid for them in cash. Somehow, my FF# ended up on their PNR, and they got upgraded. They were met by San Francisco police at SFO, I do not know if they were arrested, but I do know that they were not really someone else with my name. They were named something else. I do not know if they had a photo ID with my name on it or not.

They had obtained my FF#, but I do not believe they had my PIN number, and no miles were missing from my account, although they did get a transcon Elite upgrade.

I guess the thing that concerns me most is that I am thinking someone might have culled my name off of this board, and I am wondering if anyone else has had such an experience?

I thought twice about posting this, but, my name is already all over this board, and my account is now on double-secret-probation, so...
