http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/16/mcdonal...h-trojan-horse/What do tubby teens, MP3 players, and grandma's scalded taint all have in common? That's right, the absolute attention of McDonald's legal. See, McDonald's and Coca-Cola recently teamed up in Japan to give away 10,000 self-branded MP3 players pre-loaded with 10 spankin' new tunes and... some delicious malware. It seems that a "portion" of the players sport a variant of the QQPass family of trojan horses which capture passwords and other personal information when the MP3 player is plugged into the users' PC. The code then proceeds to email the details to the author. McDonald's has setup a 24 hour hotline while they are investigating the matter and will swap out all the offending players. Good times.

That's pretty clever, really. I wish I were smart enough to do something like that. Lack of intelligence is the only thing that stops me from committing crimes.

No honestly, why the **** would those 2 fat asses pose for a picture doing this? How much money did they possibly get paid?
