    t's about time someone made a petition for the lack of security FTP gives its players. I normally think petitions are highly overdone over miniscule issues, but this is a gigantic problem at hand and needs to be addressed.

    Recently Stars released a almost fool-proof device for their players called an RSA token. With this token, your account will become unaccessible unless you know a password, a 4 digit code that you make up, and a code that the RSA token generates every minute, making your account almost unhackable because you would need the person's token in order to log into their account. It is just plain sad how little FTP cares about their players. On their site, you can transfer any amount of money in under a minute. How this has been allowed and not questioned is beyond me. We are playing and holding tons of money in our accounts, and it would be devastating for tons of us to lose the money in our accounts.

    Something needs to be done about this soon before we keep seeing threads in NVG or HSNL about so and so being hacked. The lack of support to this is very surprising for a community of people who enjoy money and keeping it. I hope that this thread gets a lot of movement so that maybe someone on FTP's terrible support team can see this and maybe they will address something the players need for once. Thanks.

    PS - I know the idea of a boycott on a poker site is impossible, but I truly urge everyone to move the majority of their play to pokerstars in hopes that FTP will for once address their players and also to obviously keep their accounts and money safe.
