Once you got the trojan created who you gonna target first?

I am trying to help myself and others learn how to keep their computers safer from hackers. I really don't appreciate attacks at my reputation.

yup...sorry... problem on my end... (post about it is deleted)

Thanks for the IT guys for chiming in...
I also changed my 'user account setting' to 'hi'...This lets you know when someone or something is trying to make a change on your system..
One day after, the 'user account UAC' popped up with some stuff, ran 'malwarebytes' and it found 2 trojans...Not related to this, but, still, maybe one more security measure to have in place..

And after thinking about this thread all day, I wonder if all these colorfull criminals were just trying to scam marafioti...they included him as a participant, but in reality he was the mark...

Lol easy now. Obv joke is obv joke.

It's very possible they planned on him installing trojans at the pca and in turn let him superuse the victims all the while planning on superusing him out of all his money along with the money he stole from the victims. No honor among thieves.

Come on Sweden! Out these guys. Tell us what you know to save other players getting screwed in the future.

ADZ has been completely misrepresenting this as an isolated incident and saying the people accusing him as 'haters' on twitter. He is obv trying to portray himself as one of the elite to the poker audience who don't read 2p2

You already know the most, samer is the guy behind the trojan, and he contacts people about for example coaching and tricks them into downloading it, and then takes a lot of money from them. This is what happened to Jonny Lodden for example. A couple of swedish victims created a thread on the swedish forum where they gathered evidence, but it later got deleted on OPs wishes. Turned out Bandidos had paid OP a visit, and he decided it wasn't worth it to risk his physical health. Therefore Samer and company is clean officially and is still allowed to do interviews and go around the tour and spend (stolen) money. So Samer is good buddies with a guy who has good connections with bandidos, so that's where that connection comes in. Samer and his accomplice are still running free since nobody is prepared to take the consequences of digging up real evidence. Including me.

Pretty ridiculous how this always happens and the sites do nothing about it, yet "they have security" in place for these things BS. How many times did it happen to Patrik antonius, etc for hundreds of thousands if not millions? When will a site do something about security it's pretty pathetic.

I don't see how the site can be held responsible in these situations tbh

You can't blame the pokersite if someone have put a trojan in your computer, and can see your screen.

i have no idea who this turd Marafioti is, but he sounds like a complete kok!
Just my $0.03

Except you're forgetting the other part of the "trick" is convincing someone to play you after the hacking. Doubt Matt would be stupid enough to ever play HU with Samer ever again.

jesus inflation must be high there

OK, CAN WE JUST STOP ASKING THESE PEOPLE TO OUT THEMSELVES?

Read the thread, this is beyond a couple computer guys hacking accounts! This is dealing with people who will kill someone for any "good" reason! Why are some of you still asking for people to share information that can and likely will put their life in jeopardy? The funny thing about you people asking is that you call for outting and then when an newly created 2+2 account posts potentially good information, you criticize for anonymity and have a problem with it! Make up your ****ing minds!

I don't know what world you live in...and it is likely the only interaction you have with truly bad people is what you see on TV, gangland, goodfellas, casino etc... I have some news for you people who are not street smart and have not met, know or dealt with people who are killers or potential killers! THEY ARE OUT THERE! Maximum security prisons aren't filled with thieves and people who commit computer crimes...there are a lot of truly bad people/human beings out there! To put it in terms some of you may understand...you remember how scared Mike McD was in rounders when he found out Gremma was backed by Teddy KGB? Well yea, its like that!

Too bad these Swedes don't want to put their own life (and very possibly others) at risk ! Selfish bastards!

On a side note, I'm not surprised someone with your fanboy-esque screen name would call for such outings!

Chill Winston! I'm all for doing it anonymously.
Take a deep breath and step away from the keyboard.

Wasn't his nickname Grandma??

1. I don't have any information/material whatsoever about Mr K. and Mr S. that is not common knowledge for poker players in sweden (i.e., no need to come to my house and put a bullet in my head while i'm sleeping, yes seriously!)

2. If i had any info real info/evidence regarding these scams i would not post it (see above).

3. I doubt that anyone will stand up to these guys, especially after the failed attempt at the swedish poker forum (see above).

I think the best we can hope for is someone posting anonomously the evidence they gathered (seemed like a solid case from what i remember from the deleted thread!) Not sure that it would change anything though if none of the victims are willing to go to the police.

BTW, don't know if this is at all connected to Mr K. and Mr S., but looks like the police might listen...

(For non-swedes: The swedish financial police have discovered new form of money laundring where criminal organizations threaten and/or bribe Swedish high stakes poker players to do money laundry for them)

Anyway, it seems something needs to be done about this situation, it is not good for poker in Sweden and Swedish pokerplayers... just makes me feel sad

Anyone else notice that Samer is trying to use the same "i was hacked" excuse that to a certain degree got Mohamed Kowssarie off the hook several years ago according to this link: http://www.pokerbloggs.com/high-stakes-poker-biographies/mohamad-kowssarie-screen-name-terrorofsweden/

he would obviously get one of his friends or a multiaccount to do this

I love how your entire rant happened because you misread the sentence "Out these guys!".

You're correct about the insertion methods, you covered all the basics.. One thing to be aware of is that anybody can be anybody on the internet. If somebody wants to target your computer they can pose as your immediate family or friends. Its as simple as clicking a link or opening a video, beyond that you have to find out the operating system of the computer the weakness to that particular system and advance from there I will not get into details. A trojan virus is the worst kind to be infected with. It gives the hacker the ability to see your screen, log your keystokes "username/passwords", physically control your computer "cd trays, hard drives, mouse and keyboard". As well as the ability to install uninstall and modify your computer to the liking of the hacker. Alot of these programs in bed themselves into the registry of your computer and alter the system files, in some cases they can prevent you from a system restore. One way to save your poker account no matter what your infected with would be a USB key you insert into your comp before you open your poker client to guarantee you are who you are.. Everything else on your computer is free game, especially all these sites with username/password logins..

I think Mike Sexton and the WPT should stop worrying about what players wear at the table, and start researching the tools they are spotlighting. That is if they can make time between relentlessly marketing ClubWPT.com and the Royal Flush girls, so lame. Seriously though, they want to preach to players on how to dress in order to market poker to a major sponsorship, I think they are looking at the wrong areas to improve on.

What a complete and utter ****ing ******ed post.

"Why not hire a rival gang for protection, then the issue is between them"... Are you serious?

You ****ing move to Sweden and go and meet these rival gangs, get a quote and see which offers the best price and let us all know how you get on.
