Cereus Network Security Issue

what crown was saying is they were playing on a unsecured personal network, not the poker sites network.. and if you work or play or w/e on a unsecured personal network u should be ready to lose money if a hacker actually tries to steal from u, its waay easy for them to just use a keylogger or a full on trojan to view ur whole screen.. and yes if u were playing poker on any network, it wouldnt change a thing, he would see your whole desktop.

this makes me that some people would even consider that an option

this was my first thought... haha

Thinking about it, didnt that one dude massively win at blackjack on UB @ odds that seemed unfathomably possible, like .012 chance of it happening?

he won like 1 million playing BJ on UB or something ridiculous, a well known tournament player

god, some mod change the title. How is this cheating? It is just vurnerable and i would never play poker on wireless network anyway.

seriously, that network always has some issue, superusers, now this...

I believe it's in UB's best interest to be a trustworthy and legitimate site with honest games. They seem to be in it for the long haul and rightly so. Since they'll make so much goddamn money in the process.

I'll take the risks associated with playing on a "shady" but more likely incompetent site if the games are softer and I get paid more.

they still get better traffic than most other sites besides stars and ftp. and the games are significantly softer. especially on weekends oh baby...

isnt something pretty likely to happen to someone if it has a 0.012 chance of happening?

here is a vid i got from the HSNL thread on 2p2 about this...



also Crown, I believe you are thinking of ShaunDeeb's bj run from a cpl years ago. He didn't profit a mill, just wagered like 800k or so. I think he made a cpl hundred? It was really sick though and he created a brag thread on 2p2 about it a while back.

xor




hahaha.



also. people affected by this got more potential problems at hand. utterly pointless and stupid (to go public with it)

also. not hackers. hacking etc.

Would you prefer nearly impossible or higly unlikely odds of detection when performing criminal acts?

today an update was issued. The issue might have been solved

yeah i was going to say there was an update today hopefully the issue has been resolved if not then cash out time lol unless someone wants to do transfers here

ap/ub got a seal of approval from an organization rated as high as the rng audits and they didn't even know about this...im actually suprised more of the microgaming disaster isn't mentioned

Explains my recent losses. Oh and terrible, terrible play might be partially accountable.

Research* shows that virtually 100% of the population is willing to cheat, but only a little. There are very few people that would use it to make millions, but nearly everyone would exploit it in a small way.

*See, for example, Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely.

damn it this topic title missed out on some potential

"Cereus Security Issue"

NoahSD is a fucking zealot

research also shows that imaginary things aren't real and therefore virtually 100% of the research on willingness to cheat is retarded.
