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."

I've just in the last day or 2 begun to realize what a shithole Korea is. How long has this been going on? "Support Our Troops" yellow ribbons made in Korea, WoW lock-out, the IM disease, Starcraft sucking, they take over your game communities and IRC channels with that ching-chang-chong shit...

What's the next thing they're gonna fuck up or enable?
