Sony Rootkit Update

Well, I told you about the Sony Rootkit that hides it's software from the system -- now Warcraft users are using Sony BMG to cheat!

World of Warcraft hackers using Sony BMG rootkit -

Blizzard Entertainment, the maker of World of Warcraft, has created a controversial program that detects cheaters by scanning the processes that are running at the time the game is played. Called the Warden, the anti-cheating program cannot detect any files that are hidden with Sony BMG's content protection, which only requires that the hacker add the prefix "$sys$" to file names.

Man, that's pretty sweet ;-)
