Default 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.
