For all those who are playing Creature Creator right now, please be aware that SecuROM is submitting your user-data to Sporepedia, not your E.A. account user name, but the user name you use to log in to your computer.

Potentially dangerous? Yes. Granted it is encrypted, but as we have seen lately, game companies know NOTHING about encryption, and neither does SecuROM. Not only that, you did NOT give permission to submit your computer user name through to Sporepedia.

If you don't believe me that the trial version of Spore Creature Creator DOES have Securom on it.. I checked.

"Scanning -> C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\SPORE\Sporebin\SporeCreatureCreator.exe
File Type : Exe, Size : 17351944 (0108C508h) Byte(s)
-> File Appears to be Digitally Signed @ Offset 0108B000h, size : 01508h / 05384 byte(s)
-> Suspicious MZ Header..
[!] SecuROM Detected - Version 07.36.0012
[!] Possible CD/DVD-Key or Serial Check -> Unregistered
- Scan Took : 1.140 Seconds"
