I still feel that Pokerstars have very good security measures but this point needs to be improved on.

I looged onto my friends account by accident. He had been playing from my PC previously. I used the auto login.

I used the card in my name on his account. The card had previously been used on my own pokerstars account.

The card processed successfully & I was playing.

The card wasnt fraudulent & I told my friend what happened, but it could have been a stolen card & I could have been using a stolen card to dump chips into another account.

In our case it made no difference but pokerstars need to check into how this happended to close this security flaw
