Virus Writers Exploit Sony Anti-Piracy Software
`This was bound to happen.
Anti-virus maker Sophos is reporting that it has spotted an e-mail going around that tries to exploit the controversial file-hiding abilities of anti-piracy software embedded on some of Sony BMG’s music CDs. [..]
Sophos, which is based in the United Kingdom, said it would issue a tool later today to detect the existence of Sony’s DRM copy-protection on Windows computers, disable it, and prevent it from re-installing.
Sony could be in big trouble soon. The emergence of this virus should provide ample fodder to the class action suit that was recently filed in California against Sony.’
