Sony in the virus manufacturing business

The first trojan to exploit Sony's wonderful DRM scheme has been spotted in the wild. Some enterprising virus writer sent spam overnight with a modified trojan that takes advantage of Sony's DRM security holes.

Apparently the trojan was coded in too much of a hurry because it's not working as intended. Nothing's preventing someone from doing a better job at it though.
