The big story the last few weeks has been the Sony BMG rootkit and in fact, it's the kind of story for which columnists drool: a big company does something unbelievably dumb that violates basic security principles. If you don't know what I'm talking about (and if you really don't, I'm amazed - you need to follow the news more!), you can read excellent coverage on SecurityFocus, plus a good write-up on Wired, or catch up with a timeline of events brought to you by Boing Boing (parts one, two and three).
