Jurojin Poker, one of two software products compromised in a recent superuser scandal, has issued detailed responses to questions from PokerNews about the attack that reportedly cost high-stakes player Ignacio Moron at least $100,000.
According to the company, it first learned of the breach alongside the public, after cybersecurity researcher known as “Wolf” exposed the scheme. Jurojin said suspicious activity had previously been mistaken for attacks by crackers selling pirated versions of its software, rather than a targeted cheating operation.
The company confirmed the attack mainly targeted high-stakes players, with lesser impact on mid- and low-stakes players. A tampered software update reportedly installed spyware called Mesh on more machines than the attacker ultimately used to view opponents’ cards. Jurojin said it is notifying known affected users but cannot guarantee a complete list, since the attacker allegedly manipulated user groups to avoid detection.
For low-stakes players, Jurojin said there is no evidence of targeted card-sniping, though infections with Mesh may still exist. The company recommends a full PC wipe and reinstall, or at minimum running its detection tool.
Jurojin credited Wolf with leading the investigation and said it has since removed periodic hand-saving features, added supply-chain security checks, and filed reports with international authorities.
The company expressed regret to affected players, stating that the incident, while serious, does not reflect a broader collapse of online poker’s integrity.
