  Security bug hits 1m Sony Vaios
Time: 15:32 EST/20:32 GMT | News Source: The Register | Posted By: Guillaume Hיbert

A hacker's backdoor affects an estimated million Vaio notebook computers, manufacturer Sony warns. The security flaw could let crackers manipulate or delete data on hard disks and is found in proprietary software installed on Vaios sold in Asia, the Middle East and South Africa since May 2001. Vaio models bought in Europe or America are believed to be immune to the problem, which relates to Manual CyberSupport for Vaio Version 3.0 and Version 3.1 that is pre-installed in some models of Vaio computers and the Recovery CD. In a statement , Sony said because of the vulnerability "there is a danger that a third party may find a way to by pass the software's security and access the Vaio through a homepage on the Internet or by email without authorization."
