The evidence is pretty damming and I hope this guy gets crucified, but the only reason that he got caught is because he got sloppy. You can't exclude the possibility that more proffesinal hackers are out there who won't make such blatant mistakes.

Yes, I think online poker has more than exceeded the critical mass needed to attract the real "pros", and thats why something like this is great in terms of hopefully raising the bar for the security level of online sites. I have no idea how prevalent it is, but you have to be naive to think various forms of cheating aren't/haven't been going on in online poker. Just think about the ease of use of voice communication, the previous multi-accounting fiascos, trojans, etc. I remember a similar situation on Party being discussed a while back. Here this super account BS was apparently part of the software design, which now got into the wrong hands. If this is true, then at least THIS is going to be a pretty easy fix, and unlikely to happen again/anywhere else once cleared up.
