Professional poker players have been dealing with this type of risk for years. Major poker tournaments present a juicy target for organised hacking gangs. A high-stakes pro might have tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars deposited in their PokerStars account. Hundreds of professional players in a tournament cardroom means hundreds of very valuable laptops left in hotel rooms. The most sensible precautions seem to be a) full-disk encryption with a strong passphrase, b) hardware 2fa using a token that is stored separately from the computer, c) physically securing the machine whenever possible and d) tamper-evident seals covering screwholes or seams. If your adversary is capable of beating these precautions, you're probably screwed anyway. https://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/00002647.html https://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/00002647.html
