[ml] Rootkit al servizio della DRM

Ciao a tutti,
stamattina dando un'occhiata al blog della F-Secure
(http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/) ho trovato questa news "curiosa".
...

"Sony BMG is currently using a rootkit-based DRM system on some CD
records sold in USA. As far as we know, this system has been in use
since March 2005. We've made some test purchases for Sony BMG records
from Amazon.com and can confirm that they contained this
technology......Once the rootkit is there, there's no direct way to
uninstall it. The system is implemented in a way that makes it
possible for viruses (or any other malicious program) to use the
rootkit to hide themselves too. This may lead to a situation where the
virus remains undetected even if the user has got updated antivirus
software installed....."

Sta diventando pericoloso anche comprare CD :P
