The local Los Angeles news is doing a bit about this tonight. Only know this because it was in their teaser during the NFL game. I laughed because, well. California, who cares.

If you're serious about online poker and security, the best way to go about things is to dedicate a machine to just poker. No web browsing, nothing else. If you don't want to do that, hell then just setup a firewall and block all outbound traffic. Then opt-in specific programs and hosts. It's really not that hard once you get if figured out. (Use a commercial software level firewall that's not the Windows Firewall)

Also as people had mentioned, don't download stuff from third party sites let alone torrent sites. Want to torrent stuff? I suggest you setup a virtual machine and throw stuff down into sandboxed environment.

There's lot of options. Most always come with some trade-off. Security and technology is hard. (i work in the industry)

If I think of more stuff (there's more) I'll post it in here later, but I'm exhausted and need to call it a night.

Edit: To clarify, restricting egress traffic won't prevent you from being infected but it'll prevent the malware from phoning home.

Or you can just not be a knob and install eset nod32 then proceed to download whatever you want and never get a virus. Nod32 is idiot proof. You put this on the biggest idiot's computer and he's always safe.

no site or poker room was hacked ... it's a trojan, that captures your screen, it's irrelevant where you play, but ESET mentioned PS and FT b/c the maleware can detect windows of these clients. obv the programmers play the numbers and most of ppl are on stars, so if they speculate to get action vs an infected user, they go for the big site.

besides that, it seems they added some sort of keylogger anyway

They're 'blogging' about this now but it seems like ESET has been detecting this since 19th April of this year:

The day that Russia and other former USSR bloc of countries get ring fenced away from the rest of the world will be a very good day in poker. Yes there are plenty of good, non cheating players from those countries as well but almost every cheater I've come across has been from there. First site to ban these countries from ROW that already has traffic gets all my business.

Over the past few months, many stories have come out about pokerstars and things not going very well.

But this, this freaked me the **** out.

This isn't actually Pokerstars fault, even though they should clearly have some type of security measures which can prevent this happening, or, making sure they actually catch the people cheating. The problem is that they don't really give a **** about increasing their security, because it doesn't make them as much profit as increasing rake

Statements like this is why I will always have a job

If you rely on any 1 security solution, even something as good as eset, you will have a virus at some point. Guaranteed.

If you want to actually protect your computer, head over to CTH and check out the stickys.
