A large amount of personal data about UB players has been leaked. The data, which was posted publicly on the internet, appears to contain information about every player with an account at Ultimate Bet.Subject: Poker estimates that roughly 3.5 million accounts are affected. Accounts on UB’s sister site, Absolute Poker, are not included.

Quote:

A link to the data was posted on the Two Plus Two Poker Forums by an anonymous poster who removed the link eight minutes later. This is the only such public posting that we know of, but in that brief time period, enough people saw the link that it is currently being passed around privately.

What type of personal data?

People have been wanting UB to release more data for years. Now there will be complaining.

Epic.

The most surprising part of this news is that UB has 3.5 million accounts.

Wow wtf with these trolls? This is a serious breach of security.

Mailing addresses minus well are home addresses.

I don't like the sounds of this at all. That's more than enough information for people who do identity theft.

I want to know where tis data is posted.

I have a right to view it then change anything I need to.
I understand people not wanting this information getting all over the interent, but if you know where this data is posted then either pm me or post it up here. Otherwise how can I assume you aren't looking to profit from it?

I want to know where my private information is being posted so I can change it. Now.

If one person has the data the best protection is everyone to have the data. Anything else is bull****. I want to know what people know about me.

I think you're misinterpreting what's going on.

From what I gleaned from the article, the spreadsheets were likely uploaded to some filehosting site that anyone can access provided you know the exact URL. This seems pertinent and hopefully Noah will clarify.

You can't change it...

If we could change it, we'd just delete it.

I wonder if this information will provode any insight to the cheating scandal.
