Pokertableratings.com has exposed another security flaw by Cereus. They have demonstrated that cheating as well as stealing accounts is very easy. Cereus apparently is not using SSL or a similar encryption algorithm. Because of the UB scandal 2, members of the online community Twoplustwo.xom are having a field day.
There have been reactions, opinions, and posts regarding the issue. According to phils08 post, the problem is that Cerues Poker network does not use SSL to encrypt their communication which is extremely weak and the data can be easily decoded. In addition, the requirement for this vulnerability to be exploited is network access which means that an attacker could dump the network traffic and exploit the vulnerability when he is simply playing on an open wireless network, a cracked network, or a physical network that has been compromised.
