Slashdot Mirror
World of Warcraft's Brand New Rootkit
Captain Kirk writes "We all know that World of Warcraft has checked for hacks to ensure a safe game environment for all players. The latest version of these checks goes beyond anything seen so far in that what is being checked is now completely encrypted. Obviously this hits bot writers as can be seen from these complaints, But it also strikes at the privacy of all users. Now Blizzard has a tool that is encrypted and can run any type of scan, transfer any file or edit any document on your computer. That can't be right."
You've already given up your life when you start playing WoW. What do you have to keep private?
But how would I make gold from selling clam meat then?
> why not organize and complain to Blizzard?
Players: "Blizzard, your malware sucks, and you suck for using it!"
Blizzard: "What? Sorry, these piles of money you keep forking over to us every month kind of muffle the sound in here."
Done with slashdot, done with nerds, getting a life.
Become a pimp?
Paying taxes to buy civilization is like paying a hooker to buy love.
A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.
