Re: What a screwup by Pokerstars!!!
 

Our client software uses the industry standard SSLv3 protocol. It is configured to use RSA for authentication and key generation and triple-DES (EDE3, in outer-CBC mode) for encryption. Currently we are using 512-bit RSA key, which according to [1] is sufficient for short and medium-term (up to several years) secrets. As we update server private keys every three months, we are secure with a good safety margin. The use of Triple-DES EDE3 for session encryption is considered even safer

No private data, such as pocket cards, is ever transferred to other players


I think for the non-computer people out there, this is rather amusing.

I thought Stars staff weren't allowed to play there.

Re: What a screwup by Pokerstars!!!
 

Silly Q, but I don't know where to find the answer: is the Lee Jones at Pokerstars the same Lee Jones who wrote WLLHE??
Seems like it would be to me, but PokerStars is based somewhere in Europe, no?? I would think Lee would work in the US though....how did he first get involved with Stars? Has he been with them since their inception?? Was he a founder of the site??

Re: What a screwup by Pokerstars!!!
 

Yeah, same Lee Jones.

My thought exactly. Mike, you mentioned that the email contained Lee Jones "nick".I would think and have heard him say that he is not allowed to play unless it is a special situation such as employee only tourny's etc.

What's the scoop?!?

"Lee Jones, Julian Thew, Phil Collins, Bartholomew Simpson, Juha Helppi, and Noah Boeken"

Might be a joke...

Re: What a screwup by Pokerstars!!!
 

Phil Collins... might be a joke.. remember "Groovy Kind of Love"?

I picked the names Phil Collins and Bartholomew Simpson because of their connotations and to lighten my post a little, but they were on the list.
