Dear Mr. e,
We are writing to update you on the events surrounding the security breach on our site.
This incident was indeed a major shock to us and as a result we are working on many initiatives to improve the transparency and
security of our business. In addition, the Kahnawake Gaming Commission engaged a third party auditor (Gaming Associates) to review all potentially affected transactions and to verify that the security breach has been closed. This audit was concluded and it's results were duly published.
After reviewing the published report, we recognize the completeness and accuracy of the KGC conclusions, and we accept without reservation the KGC's findings and sanctions. Most importantly, we are pleased, after these many months, that Absolute Poker can finally put behind it a most distressing and regrettable experience for the Company, its employees, and its customers.
"The KGC points out that 'AP has taken the appropriate actions to address the vulnerability in its systemsand to prevent its systems from being compromised again' AP has appointed a team of both internal and external members to improve controls and install safeguards, and accepts the audit findings as an opportunity to improve our internal practices and guarantee the safest playing environment in the industry.
"We are pleased that the KGC's findings of fact point out that 'there is no evidence to indicate that the impugned activities were initiated or sanctioned by APor were intended to benefit AP, as a corporate entity.' The report also states that 'AP made expeditious efforts to appropriately reimburse all playerswith interest' who were unfavorably impacted by the security breach.
"Having experienced first-hand the devastating impact of a security breach, we fully appreciate the importance of trust and security for AP itself and the broader industry. A secure site goes to the heart of player confidence, and we are more committed than ever to ensuring that confidence. To that end, we have taken it upon ourselves to hold a series of 'poker security summits'. AP will invite respected and independent members of the poker community to focus on innovative and cutting-edge ways to further improve AP's security and enhance its transparency.
While AP is paying a severe penalty for the fraud perpetrated upon the Company and its customers, we are gratified that we can now close the book on this sordid affair and return our full focus to providing the safest, most secure, and most enjoyable poker playing experience in the industry.
Please also note that in case you want to re-open your account, all you need to do is contact us and we will gladly assist you.
Thank you for your patience and continued support.

I think I'm better off out of it!!
