NCSoft to Roll Out Hackable Anti-Hack Software

Posted by Zonk on Thursday January 20, 2005 @09:59AM from the problems-in-adena-land dept.

Greyzone writes "NCSoft is preparing to use a security product to protect the Lineage II game process from user hacks while running on a user PC. Unfortunately, this product has serious flaws of its own. Securityfocus.com explains the serious flaws and the possible hacks that can be used against user PCs that have installed this software." From the article "It is true that even with this vulnerability the user must still be tricked into running a malicious application that exploits it. However, in South Korea, where the Gameguard service is widely used, net cafes have become part of the social fabric. These machines are ripe fruit for damage."

Re:nProtect, not just another Anti-Hack software. by gl4ss · 2005-01-20 13:45 · Score: 2, Insightful

well. but this is not about hacking the software that is protected by the nProtect software.

rather, it's about nProtect getting hacked - causing your computer to be OWNED. sure, your lineage might be protected but how about your banking?
