Bad Sony


Bad Sony

 This is why I support the EFF.

If you haven't been following the story, basically Sony has embedded executable computer code on some of their music cd's. The software is malicious, installs without the users knowledge, and is difficult to detect and remove. Worse than that, this malware they install has already been used by a computer virus writer, making your system just that much more open to compromise.

[Update] Check out this fabulous screed directed at the programmers who created the Sony malware.
