FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

The NSM Software Development Team Warns of Spyware in Illegally Downloaded Copies of Zogs Nightmare Games I & II

 

22.OCTOBER.2007 - Minneapolis, MN

 

Recently, the NSM's Software Development Team (NSMSDT) was alerted to a few sites offering downloads of the "Zogs' Nightmare" series, illegally.   The NSMSDT has analyzed both Zogs' Nightmare I & II and found the digital signature has been altered. 

 

First and foremost, the Zogs' Nightmare series is only available through the NSM Store, NSM88 Records and exclusive retailers.   Downloadable versions of Zogs' Nightmare will never be offered by the NSM or any of its retailers save the Zogs' Nightmare demo.  

 

Our software engineers are still analyzing the various versions of the illegal downloadable files found online and so far have found a possible computer and internet protocol address verifier, or CIPAV that has been injected & bundled with the original source files.  This is a very small little file that adheres to your computer at the kernel level hiding it effectively from anti-virus and anti-spyware defense.  When players start the illegally downloaded versions of Zogs' Nightmare 1 & 2,  the software on computers that have an Internet connection uses this connection to transmit the name of the computer being used and the name of the user signed in to the Windows session.  Most alarmingly, the software also transmits the IP address of the player's computer. 

 

The NSMSDT will be investigating this matter in an attempt to analyze where the information is being sent. Some of our sources have suggested that the culprit may be the ADL, but this has not been confirmed.  We are urging all people that want to play Zogs' Nightmare to ONLY purchase a copy from NSM88 Records or one of our exclusive retailers. If you have illegally downloaded a copy of Zogs' Nightmare I or II, we urge you to delete it from you system immediately, save all personal files, re-format your hard drive and reinstall your operating system from scratch to guarantee that you computer has not been compromised.

 

The NSMSDT will not be taking any further action in regards to a patch as none of the LEGAL versions of the games have been compromised.  The only compromised games have been from sites that are offering the software illegally for download.

 

Every game disc has a digital signature that can be verified by our software team in which they can immediately tell if the program was tampered with.  Furthermore, an electronic serial number is included with each game, an internal license key, and if this software is distributed illegally online the NSMSDT can track the the illegal content by license number.

 

The NSMSDT had the digital signature and serial numbers compiled to the final source code before the games went to pressing in order to help fight pirated software.

 

If you have any questions and are a LEGAL owner of Zogs' Nightmare series video games, you may contact the NSMSDT by phoning 651.659.6307.
