Superfish...


There was talk in the office this week about computer maker Lenovo shipping laptops prepackaged with malware for the sake of serving advertisements.

I did a quick search to find it's a browser add-on that injects ads onto websites you visit. In addition, it compromises the security of your system.

That makes me want to puke.

I can imagine how much damage could be done when an unsuspecting person logs into online banking (on their brand new laptop) and all their information is getting sent to a 3rd party.

I'll have to surf for the recent news on this. I smell legal issues in the wind. Don't you?
