Nintendo DS Trojan Creator Apologizes

Posted by Zonk on from the shouldn't-oughta-have-done-that dept.

Mike wrote to mention an apology from the creator of the DS Trojan. From the article: "I won't release any more of this crap for DS and I don't think parts of this trojan or the idea itself will emerge in future homebrew releases. The point is probably clear. Do not run any form of untrusted code that just suddenly appears without any name."

  1. next console battleground? by Somegeek · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What if this becomes the next battleground for console makers?

    What if MS realizes that they can write and untraceably release a Trojan that would kill Playstations? Who would stick to a certain console brand if it kept getting infected after every few weeks of online play and you had to keep exchanging it for a new one? How long could Sony stay in business in such a situation?

    If you were in a multi-billion dollar battle how far would you go to win?
