This week an article appeared in I-Gaming News which again admitted the blunder, but this time tried to blame an unidentified GFED employee who had left the group to join competitor Royal Dutch Casino and who was additionally suspected of taking details of the player database with him.
swampwitch said:Well now...isn't this interesting? An ex GamFed employee joins Royal Dutch. This person, if he could steal a player database, more than likely knew about the malware that prevented GamFed players from visiting Royal Dutch.
Are we to believe that this employee didn't tell Royal Dutch about the malware? Doubtful. So why then didn't Royal Dutch make this public, instead of a couple of players on message boards? One would think that poor, injured RD would have been screaming about this from the git-go....instead of waiting for the news to break from ordinary posters.
Without taking any blame away from GamFed.......Doesn't RD's reaction seem a bit fishy?
Don't mess with the registry unless you know what you are doing. Anti-spyware programs are not perfect. Ad-Aware will flag the Microgaming registry key as a spyware and any Playtech as Golden Palace. There is a PTech registry key containing some serial number, which you can delete without any problems I think. The Microgaming key contains lots of information, including your user names and settings for each casino. If you delete it, your computer won't recognise the Microgaming casinos.BigBill said:I have been having alot of trouble with my computer freezing and shuting off
so yesterday I downloaded a Ad/spyware finder and found the following:
Malaware- Mircogaming--Reg Key entry
Reg value/Reg key - 78 entrys by Golden Palace
6 tracking cookies- Golden Palace ( not in Cookies/Temp Internet files)
I quarintined all and my comuter shut off amd would only start in safe mode
and I had to restore thru XP restore.
I have played 60 casinos and those are the only offenders so far.

Dutch said:Casino Meister Members,
We want to thank you for the opportunity to show our point of view in the Gambling Federation Malware Issue.
We had never put heads down but We won't use this forum to attack or judge the actions of Gambling Federation or
Mr. Fogli. We will deal with it in a different field.
We just want to make clear that We haven't bought any player databases, this practice is abusive and unethical
against the company of origin (disloyal competition) and individual (player integrity security) and the industry in
general.
Affiliates are more than welcome to distribute Royal Dutch Casino banners and links through out the net.
Royal Dutch Casino have a strong anti-spam policy, we don't encourage this practice in
any way shape or form. Actually if an affiliate spam, affiliate relationship will be terminated, referrals will be
wiped clean from our system and the affiliate in question will be forever banned from Royal Dutch Casino.
Since our first day of operations on january 5th, 2005, We haven't been contacted or notified by no one regarding
this affiliate/spammer that is supposedly spamming with a stolen player database. Otherwise we would taken proper
actions against the perpetrator.
Respectfully,
Angelo Vitorino
PR Manager
