I originally discovered this issue a month ago when debugging my friend's Lenovo laptop. Neither chrome nor IE can render battle.net correctly because the HTML injection is not properly escaped. Since the problem persists after a fresh recovery, I guess it's from some pre-installed software. I almost reported it to FBI.
- sitkack 12y agoShouldn't Lenovo be guilty of hacking and illegal wiretaps?
- lern_too_spel 12y agoTo be guilty of wire fraud, Lenovo must have intent to defraud the user out of money. It will be tricky to prosecutte.
- bo1024 12y agoPlacing their ads on a site where the user believes they are something else (e.g. Google search ads) has to qualify.
- chinathrow 12y agoThey should be put in front of a court. With they I mean the management of Lenovo, together with the management of Superfish. Everything else is not acceptable.
- danielweber 12y agoThe law that would make this criminal would probably make innocently shipping software with security holes criminal as well. (There are some people in the industry who call for this. I am not one of them.)
- e12e 12y agoShould this fall under the original brief of the NSA? (Ironic, I know). I realize that FBI traditionally does "domestic" and CIA "foreign" -- but I seem to recall NSA has something about "cybersecurity threats" or some such nebulus thing in their mission statement?
- PhantomGremlin 12y agoYeah, but it would mean that NSA was actually doing its fucking job instead of being dickless douchebags.
- lern_too_spel 12y agoNo. The FBI handles cybercrime. The NSA is under the DoD.
- e12e 12y agoBut this isn't (just) cybercrime. This could be seen as weakening the ("cyber"-)infrastructure. But maybe that's just under "Homeland Security" now (of which FBI is a part?)?
