Default So I\'m perusing the spam in the Empire Poker chat box and...

...and come across this one.

partypokerhacksyou.com

Nothing special really - just a banner farm focusing on concerns about how Party and skins violate your privacy by taking screenshots of your desktop.

But click the "Revealing Party Letter" on the left hand side. While the letter itself may be totally bogus, what could a disgruntled employee making a nickel an hour do with the info from your screenshots? Is there an opportunity for him to exploit your info in order to make a buck?

I guess I'm particularily curious because I play about 75% of my games on Empire.

Is there anything to be concerned about? I know there are serious ethical implications regarding Party's T&Cs and your right to privacy - but we are all aware of these risks and and make our decisions about whether or not to play on their sites in an informed manner. I'm focusing on the employee operating outside of what Party would condone.

Oh yeah. Here is the standard "I have no affiliation with this site nor am I encouraging you to click any of the banners" disclaimer.
