More: Sony Posts List of 52 Rootkit DRM CDs
Joe Wilcox writes over on the Microsoft Monitor Blog:
The more I learn about the Sony rootkit DRM, the more troubled I am by the implications.More here.
Sony has posted a list of 52 CDs that included the ill-fated copy-protection mechanism. Last night, I checked release dates on 10 randomly selected CDs. The earliest-released CD in that group: March 29, 2005. So that means that at least for seven months, Sony BMG music CD buyers have been unsuspectedly installing rootkits on their PCs.
Why then did no security software vendor detect a problem and alert customers?
