HI

May be off topic at the moment but will be very on topic if they get

this in!
Imagine sending a wav file to someone who then can't read it because you

can't attest the file!
maybe even CD players that won't play certain CD's (made with

Audacity/Ardour come to mind)
The rootkit is just the start I think.
Cheers
