Obviously if you do download and install pirate software then you get what you deserve. But, the article is worth reading for people who do download and install stuff from other sources... I am thinking here of people who try non-commercial apps, Open Source stuff and specifically some of the mirrored copies of iPhone unlock / jailbreak software... Often this comes from mirrors, and we've all seen the messages telling you to ensure you check the validity of the file you receive with something like a Hash check. Just putting it out there. I am not trying to start some kind of virus / trojan / exploit debate. With a reasonable amount of caution this is still not a huge threat, but it is a threat non-the-less. So forewarned is forearmed IMO. 'Remember, measure life by the moments that take your breath away, not by how many breaths you take' Extreme Sports Cafe | ESC's blog | scratt's blog | @thescratt |
