One last thought…
Posted at 2:53pm on Sunday, November 20th, 2005…on the Sony rootkit saga. This time from Bruce Schneier over at Wired. He asks us to consider the real story: How come our AV software didn’t pick this up in the first place?
Who are the security companies really working for? It’s unlikely that this Sony rootkit is the only example of a media company using this technology. Which security company has engineers looking for the others who might be doing it? And what will they do if they find one? What will they do the next time some multinational company decides that owning your computers is a good idea?
