Poker sites warned over Paul Gregg account before scandal broke

Jurojin Poker says malware hit users’ computers between June 2025 & January 2026.

The hit

Poker operators were reportedly warned about the suspected Paul Gregg account before the wider cheating scandal emerged, according to GamblingNews. Malware allegedly hidden in third-party poker software let an attacker view high-stakes players’ screens & hole cards. Poker coach Patrick Howard sent GGPoker an analysis flagging the account’s unusual patterns, but did not specifically accuse the account holder of cheating.

Why it matters

For bettors & players, this is less about one account & more about how operators handle warnings before they become public scandals. GGPoker confirmed it had been in contact with Howard regarding their investigation, & CoinPoker ambassador Patrick Leonard said players had complained about the account to operators in past years.
