"Yo, we sorry! As a sign of good faith we wish to offer you this 100% up to $600 reload bonus."

"(which will be deducted from your rakeback)"

Right. This isn't a "woops there's a security whole, not sure how that got there". This was a clear design decision by someone by a team who have no idea what kind of security measures need to be put in place.

This is an exceptionally amateurish mistake that should never have gone past the design stage, and should have been caught in security audits and QA testing.

im glad i dont play online.

on top of things?

Not really. I emailed them 5 days after the stox scandal broke and told them they should investigate or release hand histories so other people could look at it and they replied with

"We appreciate you writing into PTR, but unfortunately, things like this are out of our hands. The poker rooms themselves should be contacted and they can do the research since they have ways to track this better than we could."

All i can say or do anymore about these kind of stories and the thoughts i have about all the ones that never get detected or found out is this..........

I think it's safe to assume that it wasn't a mistake.

That's a huge assumption

Softer play eh???

Photoshop of AP card commercial?

Really? You're going to look around at other poker sites and see that they use some sort of SSL encryption and then settle on an encryption which can be cracked by calculator.

I'd say that assumption is small.

So just spell it out - they made the decision to not encrypt the data stream so that...?

I'm not saying you are wrong I just want to see exactly what you are implying.

Either way this is a pretty horrific.

Hmmm.. yeah this sounds more like what I would have expected from ptr. Probably some pr dude figured out it was a good idea to chime in and do some much needed reputation polishing. They must have had alot of positive feedback and traffic to continue with "security alerts".
