Re: Superuser at betfair.
There was an obvious hacking attempt directed at players (see email), but:
"Some of the players that have been scammed are certain that they did not download any new software from betfair (ie. trojans), but that there has to be some kind of security glitch in betfairs systems that can be exploited to see the opponents hole cards."
There's no evidence of a security problem with the client/server beyond the players' claims AFAICT, nor is there any explanation in the provided links of the money awarded as compensation. One anonymous source appears in a blog post.
There may or may not be something shady going on, but it's impossible to tell from this post.
