The following link brings up an article detailing a potential fix to the "Hacked by Chinese" attack. We will implement this fix here at Pinnacle.

If anyone out there has more information, we should be sharing it to help sportsbooks protect their Web sites.

Thanks for the link. Looks like a MAJOR outbreak... no pun intended...

Please see the BetGreen thread for some analysis...

We use SofTech, and when I contacted IQ-L about the problem they were able to resolve the problem within 15 minutes by re-booting our system and installing a protective device to prevent this from happening in the future.

Take the Olympics away from them. Hope all works out for you guys. Mark

LOL...

Believe it or not, I was hoping that Toronto or Paris won. I really didn't think that China needed another propaganda vehicle...

On the other hand, I am glad Anita DeFrantz was not elected IOC president, even though she had little chance in the first place.

I clicked the link to betroyal at the RX and got the same message. I think it is a little to fast to blame the chinese. Sure, they must be the no. 1 suspect, but couldn't it be somebody from somewhere else trying to blame them?
Does anybody know if its the chinese for sure?

I saw that window tonight on my PC. I think it was from WWTS. I had several windows open at the time. I closed the window and logged in again with no problem.
