UBISOFT AND DRM

DO YOUR CHILDREN HAVE ANY RECENT GAMES BY UBISOFT?



According to an article on TECHDIRT, Ubisoft has been playing around with DRM (Digital Rights Management) to make it harder for the game to be counterfeited.

The story continues on how an unsecured plug-in is installed in the browser and the person wanting to play the game has to go to a website (they did not specify Ubisoft's only) to start the game. Apparently the coding of this unsecured plug-in is messy enough that it allows a backdoor and the ability for ANY website to use the backdoor to do whatever they want to do on your computer. Does anyone else see a problem?

'Nuff Said,
Brian
