Poker Trojan??
 

This is from a security article I just read. Anyone else heard of this??

And here's a new one: Last week one of my clients asked me if I would take a look at his son’s college computer because it was behaving slowly. Hey, I never care about the type of system as long as I’m being paid the same rate.

The son is an avid online Texas hold'em player. I found an interesting Trojan called 1.exe in the root directory, which alerted other online players when my client’s son was online. It then recorded his cards during the different hands of poker and sent that information to the monitoring users. My boss’ son said that early on he was winning all the time, but lately he consistently lost his biggest hands -- not that it stopped him from playing, unfortunately.

Be interesting to at least know what he was talking about, I assume he was just lieing.

Thats awesome..

I collected the Trojan and sent it to the online poker company. Now, a devious mind might have reverse-engineered the Trojan and sent back the wrong cards to the cheating players and … oh, that’s right, I’m one of the good guys.

The file 1.exe was part of a common virus that was making the rounds last year. It has nothing to do with poker.
