I read in the past (years ago) about some russian bots or illegal programms running in high stakes PLO and winning big money , the PS security caught them and shared their loot . Nothing else .
PS , 888poker ,
partypoker and many great rooms have very strict security , manytimes annoyingly strict security (but it's for our safe/good

), when they contact/bother you while trying to investigate for anything they think it might be abnormal (programm or log in location , etc). Their rooms are safe of bots , I firmly believe it .
For the smallest rooms I have heard stories and read one thread here on CC . But even there if there are bots in some small poker rooms , at your table , if you play your A-game , you'll win them and laugh big time with their losses with their fearless bets-bluffs-all ins , as long as you play very good poker , be tricky with them and luck will be on your side
One story for fun

Once I beat one very good player HU on a micro tournament on a small poker room , he was playing/betting perfectly on the FT , like a bot

(well that's another story , we call sb a bot when he plays awesome poker in comparison to everyone's on the table , hatefull biased comment

) . Finally we were HU , I raised AJs , he reraised the right amount ( I was anxious with his betting behavour untill then , plus card dead and bluffs not successful , and felt pressure ) , went all in like I shouldn't, cracked his AA and won the tournament :eviltonguUnlucky bot

If he actually wasn't the bot , he might had thought I was the stupid lucky bot for real
