Sony-baloney
Scott Granneman, 2005-11-22

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).

In all probablity, I would not be surprised if any Sony's subsidaries' PC's have also been infected by this Rootkit.

Hence anyone wanting to steal Sony's secret or to carry out industrial espionage, this is your ticket to ride, you are only using a tool offered by Sony BMG. Not really infecting...
