Secure poker software- Don't Believe the hype

[alex_theBoss_ross]

"Don't don't don't don't believe the hype." -public enemy. So we all have god-knows how many bits of poker software installed.. I happened to be looking thru my pc's registry and discovered to my HORROR :@ that CDPoker and Noble Poker store your username and password ...IN PLAIN TEXT on your PC. [and no doubt the rest of the ipoker network or whatever it is called] Sure they store your password in encrypted form, but also in unencrypted form [to check this out, run regedit, search for Club Dice Poker (if using cdpoker), or Noble etc, and you will see it for yourself.] What does this mean to you ? well it means that someone can write a worm/virus which reads this data from your registry, and sends it to them..via a dodgy email address, or via an IRC channel. we have all heard stories of peoples' poker accounts being emptied by some mr.shady somewhere, with no come-back. Beware, Be warned, and for god's sake - wake up poker companies. this is not acceptable (or as super-nanny says- not asceptible) Alex
