This was not covered here yet: "Asus is accidentally shipping software crackers and confidential documents on the recovery DVDs that come with its laptops. The startling discovery was made by a PC Pro reader whose antivirus software was triggered by a key cracker for the WinRAR compression software, which was located on the recovery DVD for his Asus laptop. He discovered a number of other suspicious files, including: * A directory called "Crack" that appears to contain serial numbers for other software packages * A directory containing a large number of confidential Microsoft documents for PC manufacturers, including associated keys and program files" --clip-- More at http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/224892/asus-ships-software-cracker-on-recovery-dvd.html Juha-Matti _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
