Their response:

Thank you for contacting us.

With reference to the program Scanacrdsnow.com being referred to in your e-mail please note that we are aware of this supposed application and others that make similar claims. They are all of course, actually a scam.

Whilst we are in no way complacent about these programs and regularly check them out in order to allay our customer's fears, there is in fact, no way that you can see other players hole cards, or community cards, before they are dealt.

The PartyPoker.com system uses 128-bit encryption certified by THAWTE to connect to each playerýs system; it is state-of-the-art and one of the safest systems online, as it sits behind one of the most advanced firewalls in the world. We work with the best security advisers in the world to constantly upgrade the systems to protect your data and ours.

The 128-bit encrypted messages are 309,485,009,821,345,068,724,781,056 times harder to break than 40-bit messages. Thus, it would take the same technology used to crack the RSA 40-bit message 1 trillion x 1 trillion years to crack a 128-bit message. That's several trillion times longer than the age of the Earth.

I hope this puts your mind at rest regarding this and similar applications we look forward to seeing you at the tables soon.

Contact us anytime we are available around the clock to assist you with any other related questions and suggestions.
