In addition to high profile security flaws in servers, networks and rooms today are failing to encrypt even basic passwords. Take Betfred, for example, the bookmaker owned and operated by Petfre Limited in Gibraltar. The company does not encrypt passwords for affiliate accounts, and rogue employees have leaked confidential information. The following screen shot with addresses, passwords and rake numbers on full display was found by PokerUpdate.

What’s most disturbing about the security flaw is that Betfred refuses to address the issue, despite being told by PokerUpdate and others for weeks to upgrade its security. Both Betfred and Betfred Affiliates declined to respond to our requests for comment. We urge you to respond to this article and others drawing attention to the issue. Further, please call on Betfred and other companies like Ladbrokes that are not encrypting basic passwords to boost security. Your information is at risk.
