I can see why it might deter from my other points tho but I am fine with it as is. I won't be ever to have something substantial when it comes to it. That is something I was hoping the website would be able to do. When the website INSTANTLY responds to me and says "OMFG NO CHANCE SUPERUSING, NO CHANCE, OMFG, WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT" without doing any type of investigation, I can't take them seriously and believe they have any idea how to detect it.
Hmm. OK, here's how I see it. I can only think of three ways people are going to be seeing your hole cards. But I'm certainly no expert, so if someone out there is and has any other thoughts, I'd love to hear them.
1) WPN software having superuser access built in, as Cereus did.
2) Someone hacking their software.
3) Someone hacking players' computers.
2 would be something we've never seen before, or at least not that I've heard of. That doesn't mean that it isn't (or is) possible, I wouldn't be the one to say either way. 1, well, we know all about where that happened before. Certainly possible on any site, but the poker site would have to know about it, or the software developer at the very least. 3 - I think has happened before, and wouldn't be surprised if it happens again somewhere. I think it's actually the most likely of the three. I'm wondering if you've investigated this on your end.
As for what you say has been WPN's reaction, I'd break it down like this. 1, they would know about already, unless they have a rogue software developer. 2, I'm not sure - if it's even possible, could it be done without them knowing? I'd think not, but again, I'm not an expert. 3 - well, that would be happening on the players' end. Not that the site couldn't have a role to play in helping detect it, depending on how it's happening. So, I could see how a site could be dismissive of this if they are certain that 1 and 2 aren't possible. I'm not saying they should (or shouldn't) be, because that depends on technical knowledge that I don't have, and I also don't know first hand how the exchange between you went.
So, without passing judgement on either you or WPN because I don't think I'm in a position to do so, if I put myself in either of your shoes I can see a path where either of your positions make sense.
I'd really encourage you to look at your own system, if you haven't already, to ensure there's no way you've been hacked, had a Trojan installed, etc. Please forgive me if I'm pointing out the obvious.
