More Sony Rootkits?
Sony just can't leave those rootkits alone can they? It isn't their CDs you have to watch out for this time, it is their thumb drives that are installing hidden files. ****, you'd think Sony would have learned its lesson by now.

Hypothetical: Imagine that you visit your local mall and browse around for stuff to buy. And you decide to buy a new CD from your favorite artist and you also buy a brand new cool USB stick thingy on an impulse. You go home and stick the CD into your laptop's CD drive. It prompts you to install some software. You do so and while you are listening to the music, you open the USB stick package and start experimenting with your new toy. It has a fingerprint reader so you install the software for that as well. Guess what… you might have just installed, not one, but two different rootkit-like software on your laptop.
