The Microsoft Show #017 - Sony’s patch is insecure

The Microsoft Show #017 (MP3 - 3.9MB - 9min 53sec)

LISTEN TO THE PODCAST HERE

Here we go again, the software Sony provided to remove the rootkit has a security hole. This is how you install the malicious code.

Sony is going to pull the CDs and exchange those that have been sold.

Microsoft is going to help protect our computers from Sony’s screw up…but not remove the phone home technology. Why? Most likely because Microsoft is thinking about offering ad-supported software…which of course, would phone home…
