Immediately when found out is different then as soon as it happened. 2p2 isnt a 24x7 website there isn't an admin working round the clock.

Lastly what website do you know of that recently was hacked (lets use the DOJ for example) that explained it more then "Someone gained unauthorized access" I can't think of one. I mean are you asking them how they fixed it and what methods they are now using to secure there website?

I am not saying this as just a mod of 2p2 , I'm saying this as a 15+ year Systems Engineer/CTO who builds and designs these kinds of systems.

This sums it up quite well.

elrey, Mason's statement on the pokercast.

Mike: Obviously one of the toiics on the forum was the motivation behind the hacker and the reasons.... Is that ever something you think will be discussed or is that inappropriate to talk about what the hacker's motivations were if you even know.

Mason: I think it's inappropriate. I think the reasons are obvious, we just don't want there to be any success for the hacker.

Mike: Yeah makes sense

Mason: There was a demand he was making, and, you know, we're not gonna even address it

That'd be nice

If Mason/2+2 want to not say anything more, then OK, but Mat's OP strongly suggested that more details than "Someone gained unauthorized access" would be forthcoming, and questions about what happened would be addressed in due course. If Mat was wrong in saying that then it'd be nice if Mat or Mason would say so, and I can stop holding my breath

I totally understand not talking about the hackers demands, but that's just one tiny part of the story ...

That's a bit different, I know Mat would probably like to give out some more info, that's his nature. But you can be assured that the legal council of 2p2 and said secured firm have advised him against it or at least put him on hold. So maybe one day when things are all quiet, Mat may come out with it but until then you should rest easy that this place was button up tight and now under the watchful eye of one the better security firms out there.

lastly with regards to my comment that you said "that be nice" I was talking about other sites not this one :P
