More fuel to add to the fire for all the paranoid people out there that think people can see their cards. It actually was possible in this case, but only because employee's of the previous owner of the site were able to do so through use of software that only they had access to. Just like the previous problem, at Absolute, it was from ex employees that had access to software that a normal person never would.

So it is theoretically possible for this to happen, but you will not find a lot of people doing it, simply because they don't have access to the software. More importantly, when the company finds out, they do whatever they can to plug the leak because otherwise the company will go under from lack of faith of the players.

Of course, it's a major problem that this was possible at all. I always hope that the biggest sites are the safest & 2 of the largest have had issues with this. So far, I don't recall ever hearing of a problem like this from Pokerstars? Pretty sure there haven't been security issues ever from Bodog or Poker.com/Carbon? I'm sure that Ultimate & Absolute will lose customers over this and the others will possibly gain some.

Yes, we heard of that, well, 2 +2 had a lot on it. There's another thread besides this one too after UB came out with their letter. This happened around the same time as the Absolute problem and was not pursued like the AP problem. The hand historys posted are not really indictive of a superuser per se. I even asked them to post more hand historys on 2 +2 and they pretty much ignored me. The weirdest thing is that the guy who restarted the investigation on 2 +2 went back to playing there until more evidence came out.
