What a joke!

When did they announce that they'd lost customer data to hackers? Why do they still bag about the site security yet the website is fundamentally insecure? What absolute sh*te.

In the next progress report, could we please have an update on the following two promises (or better yet implement it before then)?

"As part of the customer security enhancements programme we are progressing PIN-based authentication for mobiles, and two factor authentication solutions. Our aim is for our customers to be able to decide which solutions are right for them. We are anticipating that these services will become available in 2012.

"Yes, we are committed to moving everything to HTTPS! We are re-platforming our web servers to deliver faster page display times.  We are still working on full-site SSL and will deliver it along with our new web server platform.
Mike – Security Architect"

Serious question (my tech friend who I usually send these questions to is on leave right now):

What is so difficult to implement security?  (Ivo, my tech, usually laughs at my questions and then sends me a job he has done in the banking sector that took around sixty days to do with a team of four in his office).

Security isn't so difficult. I'm not claiming that it's all easy, the real problem is that it's much easier to just *say* that you're secure than it is to actually do the real work. Hence Betfair send out all these worthless statements about how great they are while hiding the gory details of their security c**k-ups. The company clearly does not care.

whatever happened to the full "technical explanation" we were promised about the Voler La Verdette race?

What I don't understand is why do you people still continue to use Betfair then...
