Alleged Forced Disconnection Attack on PokerStars

[HoldemSally]

Just ran across this... and it's bad for players of high stakes on PokerStars...(and though it doesn't say so, since it's allegedly happening at Poker Stars, if it really turns out to be happening, then I believe it can happen elsewhere.)

And the crazy thing is that more than a few times, I have been disconnected right at a crucial point and lose the pot, or be blinded out before I can get back to the game. And the only times it has ever happened to me was when I was in a pot with one other person.
I have wondered if this was possible, though at the stakes I play, why would anyone bother... but then again, maybe the poor fool was broke and had to start over...lol...

Gives new meaning to the term Skype me. You would have to be pretty good to win 14 heads up games in a row unless chip dumping was going on.

Atleast they are putting a stop to it and noticed it before it got widespread and out of control. It's still a really terrible problem though, none the less and is pretty scary to have happening and have to be dealt with. There will always be cheaters when money is at stake though, it's pretty much inevitable.

It is Very Possible to flood someones IP and shut down their router but first you have to get their IP which really isnt too hard...
