PSA:
If I were a smart malicious hacker, intent on compromising poker accounts with the desire to steal their money, I would not focus on the incredibly difficult (if not impossible) task of coming up with some original way of coding svg files in the hopes someone downloads and installs them. Most people with any "real (large amount)" money would never fall for this, and the payoff for my tremendous talents would be wasted on a couple nickel dime accounts before I was caught.
What would be far easier, and most likely far more lucrative, would be to hack into relatively amateur web servers that were already trusted by most people with "real (large amount)" poker accounts (PT, Tiltbusters, DC, etc.) and temporarily replace their legitimate files with my malicious (and mostly easily executable installer types) ones.
