    This might intrest some of you

    PB - [link removed]
    In the wake of the all the rootkit scandals, it seems that sony was not the only company not walking the straight and narrow. A group of reverse engineers recently debugged Punkbuster and found out that PB is actually uploading personal data to there servers. They are also actively scanning your harddrive, and uploading any "suspicious" .txt files

      Interesting find, but not too suprising.

          Umm... seems like kinda an odd issue to bring up.
          Of cource PB scans your hardware and looks for suspisious files... that's what it's supposed to do!

          How can you possibly make anti-cheat software that looks for client end cheats if you can't do a scan?

                Not so odd, when the poster also has this other thread:

                  I guess they have no idea that is the way that anti-cheat works. All of the guys in that forum are afraid that their double amputee, albino, midget p0rn is in danger.

                      Just some hackers trying to get people to distrust PB so people won't use it and they'll be able to cheat more. Lame, really.

                        but we shouldn't elevate their status by calling them hackers, which requires skill, just call them cheaters or script kiddies at best

                        the derogatory use of the word hacker is by far the original meaning, but everytime hacker is mentionen in media, it is with a negative connotation.
