And it paints an even bigger target on domestic Windows machines used for media content. Who wants to "steal" their _own_ keys? Microsoft's broken DRM scheme creates objects of value which it then tries to store on the client's machine deliberately beyond the owners control and security management. It is adversarial to the user. This is clearly a no-win situation... hence the snarky sign-off about vendors "raising the bar", basically saying; Good luck with that! It really seems quite unhinged. So now there is collateral damage: - A motive to hack Windows machines to steal content keys. - A misuse of "identities" through a market in stolen keys - Pivots (as parent says) to other malware vectors So, predictably, because of DRM, Microsoft Windows is now an even more dangerous and insecure system. Why do people persist chasing this unnecessary, pathologically involuted technological misadventure? Surely "controlling and monitoring peoples content" is not a hill worth dying on?
