[BC] CD's Recalled for Posing Risk to PC's

[Sid Schweiger]

>>Sony downplayed the issue as
about a few titles, then about 50 titles.  If you look at the press
pages for First 4 Internet, that made the XCP software, it implies A
LOT
more.  And the impact is on MILLIONS of computers worldwide.  Given
the
TOTAL lack of honesty on the part of Sony until it gets caught in a
lie,
I would anticipate that the number of titles will continue to climb.<<

What makes it even worse is that Sony's fix makes the security
vulnerability from the rootkit WORSE.  It literally lets any script from
any site run on an infected computer.

The outrage on message boards and blogs is growing by the minute, as is
the number of people who will have nothing further to do with Sony,
ever.
