PokerTableRatings uncovers yet another poker room security flaw

Say it ain't so. One of our favorites, the Cake Poker Network may in fact be vulerable to theft of hole hards and player accounts, according to PokerTableRatings.com, which has made a name for itself in the last six month exposing such flaws in poker software including the ridiculous UB.com and others.
They've got some quality poker hackers over there at PokerTableRatings. Let's all be thankful that they appear to be on our side.

From PokerNews:

According to a recent report on PokerTableRatings, a security flaw has been found on the Cake Poker Network. It is almost the same flaw as the one found on the Cereus Network, in which players' accounts and hole cards were vulnerable to theft.

The PokerTableRatings sleuths have embedded a video of them successfully stealing hole cards as they were dealt. They've been able to steal passwords and user names from multiple Cake Network skins.

There are a few differences between this security risk and the Cereus Network risk and you can read up on it at PokerTableRatings.com.

Cake Poker Cardroom Manager Lee Jones posted a response on TwoPlusTwo about the issue.

"Sure, when the issue came up in May, I asked our software management team. They told me that we were more secure than Cereus. When this all came to light a few hours ago and they got down into the actual code, it turned out they were wrong (as one of the senior managers just admitted to me)...I owe the entire Cake poker community an apology: I am very very sorry."
