According to securident, they’ve discovered a flaw in the PokerRoom.com web-based client that allows you to drain other player’s accounts. Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!!!!!
Remember kids, when you combine poker clients, sloppy programming, and HTTP, bad things can happen.
Here’s to hoping they get this fixed quickly before someone actually decides to use it.
Of course it being Pokerroom, they also enjoyed some random site outages in the middle of games this afternoon.
Looks like their working on it maybe….the current PokerRoom homepage reads:
Due to essential maintenance, PokerRoom.com will be
unavailable during the following times on Thursday March 23rd.
00:00 EST/05:00 GMT – No new multi-table tournaments will start.

05:00 EST/10:00 GMT – PokerRoom.com website and games unavailable.

(Priority to real money players first).

using strip_tags on query string variables = +EV
Also not going to some random website from a random stranger = +EV
There seems to be a slow leak at Full Tilt as well.
Its a virus called “secondbestisis”
Very dangerous worm program that nibbles at my bankroll.
This isn’t news to me! Every time I play on Pokerroom my account gets drained! I’m just glad I can attribute it to a flaw in the programming and not my horrible play. In fact, I think the same flaw is on Party, Paradise, Bodog, Full Tilt, Stars…
lol. that sign is about 30 minutes from where I live.
