Will Online Poker rooms ever be secure?

Despite all the problems I've heard people complain about trying to withdraw their winnings from certain sites, let's look at the bigger problem, let it be known I have no evidence either way but this is my opinion on the matter.

If you write and ask any Online poker room if there is anyway for someone to be cheating, they will all tell you the same thing, a bunch of crap about Algorithms and how it's impossible, the funny thing is I heard those excact things from two other sites in the past that were found to have cheaters on the site, those two sites being Ultimate Bet and Absolute Poker, with these sites it was that there were so called "GOD" accounts made during development for testing purposes, these were to be deleted but never were, long story short, some ex-employees used the accounts to see peoples hole cards and win a fortune from basically every person using those sites.

Now sure this wasn't "hacking" excactly but people were cheated nonetheless, and there was a case of college students making a program that predicted a poker sites algorithms almost 10 years ago.

As for hacking, lets think about this for a second, can you honestly believe that a Poker sit is less hackable then NASA or the pentagon? because both of those have been hacked, the programmers at these sites aren't even close to the best in the world, there are teenagers in thier basement rooms, picking thier nose better then these guys.

Bottom line is as much as I love sitting in my livingroom playing Poker from the comfort of my own home, I'm never going to feel as secure about cheaters as I would in a real cardroom and neither should you.
