Ahahahah ROFL

Fool me once shame on you, fool me four or more times shame on me.
I can't help but wonder why people still play there.

1) The original POTRIPPER-scandal
2) Pots rewarded to losing hands (fixed limit session vs Phil Hellmuth)
3) This

Am I forgetting something? Too bad that one company has done so much to harm online poker's reputation in general.

Wait. Cereus is not using SSL or a similar encryption algorithm? They use some kind of custom encoding?

I am a computer engineer, and let me state clearly that if this is true, THEY ARE ****ING ******ED. Didn't their code get audited after the last scandal? What kind of incompetent ****** would certify that kind of bull**** as safe. It's ****ing criminal incompetence.

Hopefully this sinks AP/UB once and for all

because lots of poker players are greedy SOBs without a care about integrity or any other concern except for their own bottom line, and they decided it was more profitable even with the risks involved to play there because of the softer caliber of play

Anyone playing on UB for any serious amount of money NEED to stop playing there immediately if this is true. This is not a small security problem. This demonstrate a level of incompetence so ****ing gross, it's hard to believe. I mean this. This is an extremely serious issue. I'm actually having a hard time believing that it's true.

UB/AP have shown in the past that they couldn't design secure software with their built in backdoor. But this is on another level of stupid.

XOR - that unbreakable encryption standard.

Well obviously. But then they just have to realize they're taking a conscious risk and stop whining if they get cheated/scammed for huge sums of money.

This pretty much shows too that the Kahnawake Gaming Commission and other certificates are nothing but thin air. It's beyond me how incompetent software developers neglect usage of SSL-encryption in a software that sends and receives highly confidential data.

Just got me thinking that would a company insider, who knows about this flaw, set up a proxy or some sort of server in between UB's final servers and player clients. When you run a trace route from your computer to UB's main server you can see which computer's your poker data packages go through. All these have potential access to this data. However, most of trace router servers are standard ISP servers. But if you place a computer right after the UB's servers which sends and receives data from outer world you could sneak out every UB/AB's user accounts and hole card data.

Tbh, I wouldn't even surprised with the company's shady history that this wouldn't been done already. And the people who have used this info have scammed money from people on the tables on more sophisticated manner so that it's not too obvious and does not show great anomalies in large HEM databases. (E.g. POTRIPPER had like VPIP of nearly hundred, yet his W$SD was also 100% - thus completely impossible without cheating.)

Briefly, STOP PLAYING ON UB/AP.

Well time and time again................

People want to believe something is legit.....

Humans mange it....

Money is involved.....

Greed reveals its ugly head....

The sheep get f***ed.

Use your head, don't march onto slaughter.

Internet poker can not be trusted.....

See your opponent...feel the cards....Now thats Poker!

If this is true. This is not a mistake any software engineer worth his salt would have made.

That would indicate the same people who designed it did the QA (comically stupid). To be more conspirasy oriented, this would be a design created specifically for exploitation.

I'm so glad I don't play online.

Didn't expect ptr to be so proactive about these issues, seeing their nature of business. But after helping with the stox scandal aswell they deserve some credit.
Nice work.

yeah, honestly if I had to bet on an even money line, id put my money on the fact it IS happening as opposed to isnt. The just gross incopentance and shadiness of that company is mind boggling. And they no doubt have learned from the POTRIPPER scandal and actually steal discreetly now. I mean if I had access to hole cards, I could make it virtually impossible to detect even if you had access to all my hands.

Could somebody post the response from Cereus and the KGC on this matter.

"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..........
hahahahahahahahahahhahahhahahhhashhahhahhahhahahah ahahahaha
hahhahhahhhahahhaaahahahhahahahahahahhahaahhahahha hahhahaha

hahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahh ahahahha

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

That's a huge assumption

Softer play eh???
