Street Fighter V Patch Rootkit Removed

CapCom Unity reports that the promised September patch for Street Fighter V is now available for the Windows edition of the fighting sequel. This adds the new Urien character, new daily targets, and more. However, The Register reports this patch installed a rootkit that compromised PC security via privilege escalations. They detail how this was an attempt to provide security against game hacks without requiring being online, but that the way it was implemented opened PCs up to attack. The good news is that Capcom responded to the problem, Tweeting that they have rolled back the rootkit: "The rollback to the PC version of SFV prior to the security measure update is now live. The new September content is included."
