People with the right education can hack the phone company's central database and steal loads of personal information to sell, they can hack into government mainframes and compromise national security, and can turn any webpage into a hoax-site advertising porn and their hacker militia.

But hacking Absolute Poker? OH NO THATS IMPOSSIBLE SIR.

I'm confident hacking online poker has been going on for years. This idiot just made it obvious and got caught.

We should be happy that finally someone pulling it off was stupid enough to get caught up in the game. Every other time someone yanked money off high stakes players, they made DAMN SURE you didn't figure it out.

Maybe now, online poker security will be more of an issue than it has been in the past. I don't know about you, but some faceless entity assuring me that "of course its safe duh this is a business" doesn't really sit well with me.
