Ultimate Bet Admits Security Breach
Ultimate Bet has just released a press release with findings of their investigation into allegations of unfair play on their site. Tokwiro Enterprises, the company that owns Ultimate Bet used Kahnawake Gaming Commission and independent third parties to investigate the cheating allegations.
The allegations proved to be correct and investigators were able to find evidence that their was a breach in their security. The unfair play happened between March 7, 2006 to December 3, 2007 during high limit games. The cheating players were able to see players hole cards because of an auditing program that was not secure. The security hole has since been fixed but the damage has been done. Players from2+2 forums have been calling for an announcement from UB management ever since this was brought to their attention in January 08 because of the player "NioNio".
Ultimate Bet has taken full responsibility for what happened and is planning to repay all players that were affected. Some players have reported (unverified) that 6 figures have shown up in their account since the announcement.
