Cereus and Tokwiro COO Paul Legett broke the news to customers in a blog on Ultimate Bet, where he had the following to say:
“I would like to start by reminding everyone that someone would have to have the technical capabilities to crack the encryption method we currently use and they would also have to hack into your local network in order to gain access to sensitive data. We are currently working on implementing a new encryption method and we expect to have it live in a matter of hours.”
He would go on to state that, “So far, we have no reason to believe anyone has exploited this vulnerability but we have just begun investigating users that our players have requested.” UB is planning to review all serious complaints regarding the matter, hoping to allay and suspicions from the general public.
So, it seems as the the possibility of players suffering from this potential hack is rather slim. However, such a lapse will not inspire confidence among the company’s already challenged user base. If their audits failed to register such a glaring problem, one wonders what else they could possibly be missing.
All publicity is good publicity, a wise man once said. In this case, we at FlopTurnRiver would have to disagree.
True, but they never disclosed what happened with all their scandal that is devastating to online poker. No one was punished or named, very lame.
Also within this "new ownership group" there are questions as to whether some of the bad guys are still at the company.
One thing that is not in dispute is that the new owners guaranteed they had the best top notch secure technology available. What they had was nowhere near what they claimed and they knew it.
