Sony music cd DRM rootkit
Posted by: Lightkeeper on 15 February 2008
Hi,
I just want to inform those who don't know that newer Sony music cds contain rootkit which during turned on auto play function on your pc install on your hard drive. Sony called that an action against piracy, but I don't treat myself as a pirate when I want to play my original cd on computer. There is no legislative right on this world which will allow someone to attack your private property. We all know what rootkits are and against this one you can at least turn auto play feature off on your computers. Even Microsoft said that upcomming version of Windows Defender will be able to locate and delete Sony DRM rootkit. Also, I wonder what more is behing that rootkit and what could be happen with some of my my private data details.
Good luck,
Oz
