I agree that their security system definitely needs work if he was able to grab that information. And, if they didn't use industry standards, that is very telling in that they seem to be incompetent and proud of their incompetence.

From that video, he doesn't not seem to imply that it can be done from ANYWHERE. Even though the simple idea of it being done is disconcerting. He seems to imply that there is some level of location needed to get the information (as opposed to anyone grabbing the information from their living room about any person playing the game).

But, again, he isn't capturing another person's hole cards. He is just grabbing his own.

While I find the ability to grab the information and produce a usable result bad, I'd say that being able to find the opponent's hole cards from a remote location to be far higher on the exploitation list of bad things that can happen.

But, again, he implies that you can grab a person's account information which would be far and away the most egregious problem surrounding this situation. Far more than gaining an advantage through knowing someone's cards.
