"A line of USB drives sold by Sony Electronics installs files in a hidden
folder that can be accessed and used by hackers, a Finnish security company
charged Monday, raising the specter of a replay of the fiasco that hit
Sony's music arm two years ago when researchers discovered that its copy
protection software used rootkit-like technologies."

I presume you're referring to anyone who still purchases stuff from the
conmen at Sony? I can't really blame Sony for being crooked while people
keep ignoring it and going back for more - that's how business is these days
I'm sad to say.

an incident "rootkit" and they published a removal tool... maybe they`lle do

They'll keep doing it as long as sheeple keep buying their rubbish and hence
send them the message that it's ok to keep doing.
