Phoenix DRM Reads Your E-Mail

Posted by michael on from the no-joking-matter dept.

martensitic writes "eWeek reports that Phoenix has developed a utility allowing users of its laptop DRM BIOS (last discussed here) to 'check their Outlook data on a notebook computer without needing to boot the machine.' Since Longhorn is still several years away, Pheonix is developing their own trusted apps to sell the BIOS to laptop manufacturers. One can only imagine what other innocuous bells and whistles will be used to leverage DRM onto Joe Laptop's machine."

    I can read my email without booting any of my computers. My email is stored on the server so it's available to me, (and probably anyone else that's so inclined), at anytime. ///Security, Ha!!!\\\
