Basically there are suspicions of somebody being able to know what their opponent is holding on tables. This is briefly mentioned on tillerman's blog (http://www.tillerman.net/ one of the better blogs out there) and more detailed information can be found on forums such as 2+2. Two years ago a non poker playing friend of mine mentioned a couple of people we know who claimed to have access to some kind of software to enable them to see opponents cards or the cards still to come on the board. I did not pay much attention to this as i didn't believe it was possible. What I did know that was true was that the two people were buying up millions of pounds worth of property in Dubai. Now I am not friends with the two but I suspect them of being drug dealers and getting there money this way. Although hearing stories like the AP scandal you just never know. I would like to think that the stories are not true and just suspicions at most, but you just never know after all hackers can pretty much access any database in the world. Take a look at the poker forums where there are more facts if you are interested on this angle.
The one bit of advice I would give to all players is to play at the bigger sites, the last time i checked AP a few years ago it appeared to have a low liquidity. For higher stakes cash games I would advise perhaps partypoker as they don't do rakeback so the games are a bit softer. Either way I would advise all to avoid AP especially at the moment.
