Default Re: Beat: Absolute is *actually* rigged (serious) (read me)

I'm grunching on this thread, but my guess is that there aren't actual "superuser" accounts. It's much more likely that if there is cheating, they are viewing your cards through a trojan horse.

There are millions of infected 'zombie' PC's out there. It wouldn't be too difficult to write a script that could pull data from poker software in real time.

An fairly well known PHP spider-crawler author at the DC PHP convention disclosed to the room that there are many trojans out there that are doing exactly this already.

If you play high stakes, I'd highly suggest scanning for spyware, and possibly giving yourself a clean re-format if you want to be sure your system is clean.

I'd also be very careful about installing 3rd party poker applications.
