FSLabs Malware Flap

[Palmpilot]

An FSLabs flight sim expansion product was found to contain a password-stealing utility as part of their anti-piracy efforts. Lame excuses followed, some from the company, and some from apologists among the commenters.

Analogy:

"We've secretly installed technology that lets us make copies of your house keys whenever we want, but we promise we will only use it if we think you've stolen from us."

Another company to add to the list of “never ever trust again”. Not that I used them, but no... don’t.

I never used them, but they have now proven not only untrustworthy but that they are thieves themselves.
