Nobody
will be surprised by this! Oh, Sony..what a tangled web we weave. Check out
this snippage from the F-Secure weblog.
 We wouldn't like to say "we told you so" but
unfortunately this is one of those times you just have to do it.
We have just analyzed the first malware (Breplibot.b)
that is trying to hide on machines that have Sony DRM software
installed.
Luckily, the bot has a design flaw. If the Sony DRM
rootkit is active (hiding) in the system during infection, the bot will
not run at all. Moreover, the bot cannot survive a reboot because of a
programming error. In any case, this is a very good example of why
software should not use rootkit hiding
techniques. |
