Use an illegal copy and wipe your device clean

[WorknMan]

Anton Tomov distributes a number of capable programs for the Windows Mobile platform including Pocket Hackmaster and Pocket Mechanic. The program that is causing all the shouting matches in this case is Pocket Mechanic. It appears that Mr. Tomov recently distributed an update to the Pocket Mechanic program that includes some malicious anti-piracy code. Of course whether or not it is malicious depends on which side of the firing line you fall on. The program apparently detects if the executed program is a legally licensed one and if not it erases your entire Windows Mobile device by hard resetting it. It has reportedly wiped out a removable storage card, too.

Hey, maybe that's what Sony intended to do with the Christmas deadly demo disc; they just didn't test it enough
