RBCalc.exe was a malicious software program present on the "Check Raised" website for a period of time. This site provides tools, articles and other various applications to online poker players. As a result, many online poker players could have been affected by this targeted attack. Trojan.Checkraise is a Trojan horse that steals passwords for popular online poker Web sites. It also opens a back door on the compromised computer and logs keystrokes. It sends confidential information to a remote attacker


Question: So a question for all you poker fanatics; when is this not a winning hand?

Answer: When your online poker login credentials have been stolen and your
account drained. We have received no reports of this happening, but
the possibility is definitely there.
