    Online poker virus, allows cyber thiefs to see your hands.......

    Maybe this is old news, not sure.

    Online poker players beware: there may be someone at your table looking at your cards, and they’re not standing behind you.

    A new virus making the rounds on the Internet enables cybercriminals to take screenshots of opponents’ hands on popular poker sites such as PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker, according to ESET, a Slovakian online security company.

    Potential cheaters can then attempt to join the tables where victims are playing to gain an unfair advantage.

    “It’s quite a benign trick,” Urban Schrott, an IT security analyst at ESET, told SiliconRepublic.com, “but I guess that’s all that really matters in poker.”

    The trojan virus, Win32/Spy.Odlanor, is installed on users’ machines after downloading poker-related programs such as player databases and calculators, ESET wrote in a blog post. The virus can also be picked up by downloading applications from sources other than the official websites of software makers.

    Cybercriminals? Umm ok. The major sites have been doing this shit for years, these cybercriminals you speak of, are the sites them selves, who have special "house" players, who always seem to know when you shove holding pocket Aces, and some dip shit calls with 5,7 os and hits a str8 or trips to felt you.

    oh as for the original post, how about not downloading stupid shit? these dumbfukks that download anything lose at poker anyway, these antics probably saved them whole bunch of time and heartaches. so when you look at the big picture, the headlines are misleading.

    the headlines should read, "altruistic poker cheats save stupid fukks tremendous amount of time!!!"
