Beware of the new spyware that targets poker players!

ESET, one of the biggest names in the antivirus market has announced that they have discovered a new spyware called Win32/Spy.Odlanor. The Trojan is especially dangerous for online poker players at PokerStars and Full Tilt.

Win32/Spy.Odlanor has been designed to send information about the data, hands, games of a poker player. With the hackers knowing what cards the player is holding, they can easily bust him or take control of the poker account.

According to ESET the Trojan is most often downloaded with free, infected software such as Daemon Tools and cracked versions of poker softwares like Tournament Shark, Poker Calculator Pro, Smart Buddy and Poker Office.
