State Reaches Settlement In SONY CD Spyware Suit
(December 19, 2006)—Texas has won a final judgment against SONY BMG Music Entertainment that could mean restitution for Texans who purchased compact discs containing XCP, MediaMax or any other content-protection software with hidden files, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said Tuesday. SONY BMG will also pay $1.5 million to settle the suits in Texas and another brought in California. The judgment also means SONY BMG must stop selling those CDs and must destroy any remaining CDs with XCP or MediaMax technology. Texas' original suit alleged the company illegally installed spyware on millions of music CDs that Abbott says could make computers “vulnerable to computer viruses and other forms of attack." In September Abbott warned that SONY music CDs with XCP copy protection software could cause problems for consumers whose computers use certain versions of American Online software.
The Panda Software virus yearbook 2006
- The most moralistic. This award goes to the spyware Zcodec which, among other actions, monitors whether users access certain web pages with pornographic content. This may simply be a way of determining whether the user is a frequent visitor to these types of pages in order to send personalized advertising. On the other hand, perhaps the author of the spyware just has voyeuristic tendencies. - The worst job applicant. The Eliles.A worm sends out CVs all over the place. It even sends them out to users cell phones. It would seem that it has little confidence in its own job prospects. - The most sensationalist. Sensational headlines have always made an impact, now they are even being used by viruses. Of all those that appeared in 2006, Nuwar.A wins hands down with its declaration of the start of the Third World War.
