AP infinity plus one - New AP Statement

"......this consultant devised a sophisticated scheme to manipulate internal systems to access third-party computers and accounts to view hole cards of other customers during play without their knowledge.’’

If this belief of mine and statement above is true it also means that cheating could occur no matter what Poker Site one plays at!!! This would mean that the AP incident could be the results of the thieves having found a better way of infecting everyone with/through the AP software.

I think this statement means that someone hacked the KGC computer. The 3rd party computer was Absolute's computer, not your PC. Once you have access to an account which allows you to "enter" a table on the server, you can see everything. No need to go to client (your computer) to see the hole cards.

The only reason for an account like that would be to see if cheating is being done during the game. I suspect that KGC was given an account on APs server with this kind of access so they could oversee what was happening at AP with the intent of finding cheating. They need to have access at anytime without AP's knowledge inorder to find out if AP is cheating.

It would be ironic if the security hole exploited was the hole designed to catch cheating. If this is what actually happened, then AP should remove the accounts which allow for real time access to the table, and instead make log a log of play at the tables available (like the xls file) to the gaming commission in the event of a complaint after the game is finished.

This is all speculation on my part, based on what I have read here.
