Root kits from DVD? Did they spread to Linux boxes too?
Nope - When you first inseted the CD (autorun enabled) or when you tried
to play the CD security vulnerabilities in place would install a root-kit
to the system. Once in place a user is "unable" to rip/copy the CD as the
root-kit blocks this from happening.
Luckly it wouldn't work on other systems. Not even OS X.
