Razer Gaming Products hit with infected Firmware

Saw this on another forum, and With several members I know of that use Razers products, figured I'd post it here...

Seems Razer's Computers Were Hacked and Firmware Updates for Products were possibly Infected...


Quote:
Gamers trying to update their mouse or keyboard drivers from accessory maker Razer USA's Web site recently may have gotten more than they bargained for.

That's because the company's computers appear to have been hacked, and its support site used to spread malicious Trojan horse programs, according to Rik Ferguson, a researcher with Trend Micro. After hearing comments from concerned customers, Trend researchers took a look at Razer's drivers. They downloaded 8 infected drivers, and immediately contacted Razer. "They immediately took the site offline," he said in an instant message interview.
