Updated – Ubisoft’s Uplay Poses Security Risk
Update – Ubisoft have released a patch for Uplay which closes the exploit. More details on RPS.
There appears to be a pretty large security risk located in Ubisoft’s Uplay game launcher/DRM manager which, as detailed here installs a backdoor onto your computer which can be used by those with bad intentions to install programs onto your machine remotely. Alec Meer on Rock, Paper, Shotgun has been doing some digging and has talked to a security expert about the matter.
