    How to win at poker: break into hotel rooms and trojan pro player laptops

    http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/00002647.html

    Cliffs:

    Jens Kyllönen, poker pro, busts out of EPT and discovers his hotel room has been entered. On a hunch, he takes his laptop to a forensics team and discovers a trojan installed at the exact time he was out of his room.


    Fuck yeah, Eastern Euro crime crews.

    I guess the only solution is to buy a new laptop every time you want to play a session.

    or full disk encryption, or any number of other solutions, but yeah, new laptop every time sounds good.

    I don't think all those details are moon landing. Maybe though.

    But Sonatine is a sick fucker so could be his way of showing how little he follows the poker when he actually read about it back then.

    Most of them are. What that link does confirm is that his computer was officially hacked after an expert looked it over but everyone already felt he was broken into. Even some people working at the hotel were forced to confirm that a hacker was breaking into rooms doing this once the story got out which they tried to keep that on the down low but then realized this wasn't going away.

    Not moonlanding, this is the official report from the forensics agency. It was released today. It has currency because there are no hilaripokerfaggot opinions in it.

    The only revelation here is that these mugs don't sleep with their laptops or otherwise keep them near their person 24/7

    The other news is that Pokerstars has never come out with a public statement about their conclusions regarding the whole mess.

    I wouldn't even be surprised if they return to the same hotel for the EPT Barcelona next year.
