I had assumed that only a small number of people would be able to hack their systems (have the necessary physical access), and/or have the authority to approve changes to enable the hack (e.g. changes to a server configuration, to loading an application on a server, etc.).
But now I'm not so sure.
I hear you on this. My hypothesis is that there is at least one tech working with Mike that has access to the pokerGFX server. There has been too many instances of RFID glitches/ cards changing to cover up plays. There must be some correlation between when Mike Postle has hole-card access and when a tech is working.
If Mike Postle doesn't have the ability to remote into the pokerGFX server to see the cards in real-time, a tech that does have access must send him this information, possibly via text or SMS. In this scenario, the tech might as well just give Mike Postle access.
If Mike Postle has the ability to remote into the pokerGFX server, a tech must make sure the server is available to Mike Postle via configurations and by letting him know which network and credentials to use. Also, remote access is generally not anonymous. Logs are created and it is usually evident, in most cases, when someone is remoted in because they have access to the mouse. A tech must be there to make sure that no outsiders see the unauthorized logins.
But, if there are no guards or locks in the pokerGFX server is Mike Postle could very well be a one man show but I'm just not sure how capable he is of this. I feel like there must be insiders for him to have got away with it for so long.
