Hey everyone,

I’ve been playing on Replay Poker for a while now and really enjoy the community here. Recently, I started getting more interested in how online poker platforms handle security..especially since we’re sharing personal info and spending a lot of time on these sites.

Does anyone know what kind of cybersecurity measures Replay Poker uses to protect users? Like, how safe are our logins, game data, and account details? I haven’t had any issues, but I’m just curious about what goes on behind the scenes.

Also, I’m prepping for a job in IT and looking over some Cybersecurity Interview Questions and Answers to better understand the kind of threats platforms like this face. If you’ve got any insights or resources from the poker tech side, feel free to share!

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts—both as players and maybe even from anyone who knows the tech behind the scenes.

Cheers,
J Smiths

Good luck on getting any Cybersecurity information from Replay. That type of information is not broadcast where the bad guy’s can get around it.

When it comes to web security, there are multiple layers that work together to make a safe website, It starts from a well coded backend that respects security norms, a solid server configuration, and some extra layers for protection (Firewalls/IDS..), Replay from what iv’e seen checks all these boxes, although you never know as cybersecurity isn’t something you can ever take for granted, Zero-days always emerge and even the biggest tech companies in the world suffer breaches.

However, Ensuring cybersecurity isn’t a one sided ordeal, it requires that the userbase be vigilent and aware of the existing threats, so in that spirit, i can give you the following advice in the order of (my subjective) importance :

  1. Never use the same password for more than one website, and make sure your passwords are complicated (I encourage you to use a password manager as they usually offer strong password generators and allow you to save your passwords in one place)
  2. Avoid clicking on shady links (wether from emails or Private messages), only visit websites you know and trust, if you’re unsure if a website is safe, you can scan it using Virustotal
  3. Don’t be naive, Replay staff will never ask you to send your password or personal information, (same goes for most websites actually)
