Last week, QFK Software released its new KeyScrambler software that has greatly increased the security level at today’s top online poker rooms. Full Tilt Poker, PokerStars and a host of other online poker sites have integrated the KeyScrambler platform to further ensure the confidentiality of their members’ personal, financial and login information.

The QFX KeyScrambler effectively thwarts all attempts at keylogging by encrypting every stroke of the keyboard at the lowest, keyboard driver level, maintaining that encryption until it reaches the secure web site. Traditionally, Keylogging programs were meant to record a user’s keystrokes and send the information to the master of the unlawful program, thereby giving them access to a user’s account information, credit card information, or any other information the user may have typed.

QFX’s innovative encryption technology does not stop a keylogging program, but encrypts all keystrokes so that the information sent is entirely indecipherable, offering only a series of encoded symbols, numbers, and/or letters.

The online poker industry is currently one of the largest and fastest growing industries on the Internet, and according to a spokesperson, its members are constantly under threat of illegal activity as hackers attempt to infiltrate sensitive information through keylogging programs.

Online poker rooms that have integrated the new QFX KeyScrambler software include Full Tilt Poker, Poker Stars, UltimateBet Poker, Players Only Poker, Bodog Poker, PokerRoom, Party Poker, Doyles Room, Carbon Poker, VC Poker, CD Poker, 24h Poker, Titan Poker, Hollywood Poker and all members of the Microgaming Network.
