    warning for those with PINNACLE...disturbing password integrity issues!!!!!!
    Many people have received mail in the past week with their passwords in place of their names. Passworddsa are supposed to be very secure. This is a very scary bit of news. After many many posts elsewhere...pinnacle has yet to sy anything about it...not eveen defending the allegations. This has to stem frem them making us chage passwords a few weeks back. Many people use the same passwords to other sites. The fact that if this happened...there should have been a warning from pinnacle to change all necesary passwords. Piannacle has kept the whole thing quiet. I really hope i am wrong and will be the first to appologize. Its so serious that many many long term clients if theirs are on the fense whether to leave them for good. Many have already got the process rolling to get evrything out . Piannacle has said nothing to defend themselves so that says a lot. Again...Passwords were sent out in place of names on POSTCARDS open to others that might want to read them. Where is pinnacle do damage control or is it so bad there is nothing they could say....damn...a another good out down the drain.

    I just withdrew all my money. It's a shame I won't be able to use them anymore.

      I defintely think it was odd that we all had to change our passwords at once, but a site like pinnacle doesn't appear to have any security issues at this point...

        What do you mean, Pags!!??!!??!!??!!

        Didn't you read what tahoerichie wrote?

        Oh Pags, please don't fall prey to the evil machinations of Pinnacle.

        All the proof you need is right there in black and white, artfully authored by the highly reputable 'tahoerichie'. I mean look at all his previous posting at this forum. He's never been wrong about anything he's said. I'm with him. He has me convinced.

        Pinnacle is bad bad bad.

          I was not happy about the way they did it.

          My bank makes me change the password but they give you 60 days and every time you log in it tells you how many days you have to change it. That deal Pinnacle did was absurd about getting a temp password emailed.

            It was a pathetic effort on their part. Not what I would expect from them. I'm not sure it's "another good out down the drain" though.

            Actually I am sure it's not "another good out down the drain".

            To refer to Pinnacle as simply "another good out" is to say that Bill Gates has some money.

            Pinnacle might have to tie a big banner with my password on it to the back of a small plane that flies around the beach before I consider not playing there.
