"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.

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.
