Malware authors include EULAs to protect their work
When I first saw this article at Ars Technica, I wondered if it was a hoax. It’s not April 1 so maybe it’s legitimate. It begins:
Selling botnets for particular attacks, black markets for stolen identities, and malware construction kits are all now par for the course for the increasingly commercial malware industry. Discovering that malware authors have actually turned to End-User License Agreements (EULAs) in an attempt to protect their own intellectual property, however, most definitely qualifies as something new, different, and beautifully ironic.
More about this irony is at Symantec.
