Sony Rootkit Strikes Again... And Again
It was reported on Reuters that high-end memory sticks sold by Sony Corp can make personal computers vulnerable to attack by computer hackers, according to researchers with two Internet security firms. It's the attack of the Sony rootkit... part two... or is it part 3? Sony's MicroVault USB memory stick and fingerprint reader comes with rootkit software that creates a hidden directory on the computer's hard drive. This was discovered by researchers with F-Secure Corp, the Finnish security software maker who also discovered the 2005 DRM-centric rootkit.

Yet another reason why I can't stand Sony and refuse to buy their products... and another reason I hope HD-DVD wins.

I don't think it's really a root kit but could be a root kit enabler. I guess that doesn't make a poignant headline, though.

I hate Sony because of the first time, thanks for the additional ammo.
There was also a nice article I saw today about how their proprietary digital music program has officially flopped (it really flopped at the starting gate, they have just finally admitted it).
