ACR Poker Rolls Out ScreenShield on WPN After Remote-Access Concerns

On Tuesday, Sept. 29, the Winning Poker Network contacted a group of players who met its detection criteria for software with remote-access or screen-control capabilities. For those accounts, the network quietly switched on a new protection called ScreenShield, according to Card Player. The move came as a precaution before the underlying issue was demonstrated publicly, and WPN has since activated the feature more broadly for ACR Poker players. ScreenShield is designed to keep protected WPN table content visible on a player’s own monitor while blocking it from the external screen-capture and screen-sharing methods the feature covers.
