Default Re: my ftp account got hacked

you have every right to be sceptical sir,

'beneficial to us' - how can it be detrimental to you or anyone else if poker sites strenghten security measures on account of this notable disaster?

Is preference given to the pros over the $1 players and if so why? (although of course I know the answer).

The question of futility will be raised i.e. that no matter what measures are in place, people will always find a way to cheat.

My point is that this is an interesting article/scoop/expose but with infomation/consequences that may help the paying customer.

Anyways, I'm coming across as a boring son of a b1tch now so that is all from miserable England.

May all your rivers be gooduns.

sick happening, reading this thread is like reading a thriller. I hope you get your money back.
Though I dont have 100 thousands but in general it would be good to see that casinos care.

Sometimes I despair. How is a story in a paper which accomoadates boring old ladies lives, going to have a negative effect on your life?

You are forgetting that without the media there would be no added tournaments with million + prizepools, no sponsored pros etc. Journalism (and to a greater extent tv) displays poker for all to see, whether in a good way or bad way, it still brings in customers - More fish for you, more rake for internet sites.

We are writing the story and seeing as Jean Claude has got his money and full tilt were pretty speedy and effective maybe he has something to say. Not many people know what it feels like to lose $100,000 only to recover it.

Later

JC, I wish you well on the outcome of this situation.

I feel sorry for you that some people came a little harsh in insisting that much about those chip dumping evidences being nothing obvious. They are alowed to doubt, I just felt there was no need to go that far.

And that was certainly not what you needed to hear at that time.

Still I am glad that the forum helped you and came out with a lot of valuable information.

Ast. I don't see the benefits of advertising that online pros have that much money online.

Most people don't know that you need to have that much of a roll online. Even most of the fishes have no idea you are suppose to have a roll and that a significant part of that roll stays on the site at all times.

Most assume you buy in an out like you do in a casino, and most fishes I know do it that way.

This info is not well hidden but If you adverstise it in a national paper you can only make it worst in terms of security.
