Is it That Scandalous

Tokwiro Enterprises has already begun to experience some of the backlash and criticism that is a natural result of the company making headlines for yet another security flaw that exposes the opponent’s hole cards to the cheater. This type of cheating several years ago was due to a major flaw in the internal programming and allowed insiders within Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet online casino poker sites to exploit the site’s players. Now though, the flaw is quite a bit less severe and has not yet been exploited. The Poker Table Ratings information portal identified the flaw in the Cereus Poker Networks security encryption that allowed exploitation only within the same server. A flaw is a flaw though, and Tokwiro took immediate responsibility for this new online casino poker security situation and announced that a patch was expected within an hour of the announcement.

This is an incredibly quick turnaround time considering Tokwiro had no warning about the Poker Table Ratings release until it happened. There are some online casino critics though who immediately began to bash Tokwrio for their decision to leave the site active while the patches were in development. In fact, criticism was blatant and immediate, but perhaps not warranted according to one poker industry insider. B.J. Nemath is a highly respected journalist within the online casinos and poker sites, and Nemath analyzed the situation calmly and noted that the flaw was not as serious as the nay-sayers and extreme critics were making it out to be.

This security flaw does not allow an online casino poker player to see the hole card of any player in the world, but rather only players “on a locally-accessible network” according to Nemath. This means that someone would have to be sitting across the street and stealing your wifi connection to tap into your network and access the weakness. Nemath’s insight is respected and adds a nice dash of water to the fire that some angry players were trying to start even though they did not have a full understanding of the situation.
