Rootkits & tags
Posted on Friday, November 18th, 2005 at 00:51, under Uncategorized.Two pieces of news caught my attention during my usual blog-browsing, this night.
The first one (in italian) is about copyright enforcement: from the 1st of january SIAE tags should be applied to photocopies too. I’m not even wasting breath on this one.
The second one (in english) is also somewhat about copyright: it’s a blog post examining the fishy behaviour that security companies (like McAfee or Symantec) held when dealing with the (in)famous Sony rootkit. It’s a quite long post, but I’d spend some time to read it, if I were you ;)
“What happens when the creators of malware collude with the very companies we hire to protect us from that malware?”
