SunComm to fix flaws in MediaMax software

Sony BMG was in a massive controversy last year when some Audio CDs from the company were found to be containing a controversial DRM technology, which installed software on the user’s computer without asking for permission from the user. The problem was magnified when this software application was found to have security issues, which could have potentially left the computer vulnerable to hacking attempts.

However, there is still some hope as the developers of the controversial MediaMax DRM technology, SunComm has confirmed that they would work to end security flaws found in its products. They have also published the names of all the CDs available in the market that use the software.

They would work on making their software application more secure and have promised to make it easier for the user to refuse installation, or to uninstall. This comes after Sony BMG itself promised that they would improve upon their DRM security installed on some of their Audio CDs delivered to the market for sale.

SunComm has also agreed that they would be providing all the new versions of their technologies for independent security testing to get rid of any potential security vulnerability in their mechanism. Acting SunComm head Kevin Clement said added in a statement: “We are pleased to be working with EFF to ensure that consumers are notified of this potential vulnerability and our update.”
