Title: Lenovo Rapped for Preinstalling Spyware Post by: HCK on February 20, 2015, 09:00:22 am Lenovo Rapped for Preinstalling Spyware
Lenovo has come under fire for preinstalling spyware on some of its laptops. The software, Superfish, uses the same techniques cybercriminals often employ to crack encrypted traffic. "Superfish is purposely designed to bypass the security of HTTPS websites in a manner that would allow malware and attackers to also bypass the security provided by HTTPS," said Bluebox cofounder Adam Ely.
