GTDawg - I think we are all saying the same thing. He's just showing how he can grab hole cards as an example. And stop thinking of it as his own hole cards... this of the person playing (just happens to be him) as the target and the other computer (also happens to be him) as the attacker. The fact that he was attacking himself is meaningless.
But yeah, I think if you play any poker on a public network (Vegas, etc, etc) OR if someone decides to target you and can get into your network, this is a pretty huge issue. No, I wouldn't be too worried about someone seeing my hole cards if I played on UB tonight. While scary, that's not the point and was just an example. But the fact that someone at PCA could compromise the login info of every poker player there because Cereus is too stupid to use SSL... that's just absurd.
