Sony Rootkit Issues Come Home to Roost

So some Bad Person has figured out that they can exploit the rootkit that Sony installs on its DRM protected CD to conceal their trojan on Windows PCs. It also appears that they install some files on Macs too, so there is a potential for vulnerability there too. In a related story, it appears that some class action suits are pending against Sony about this. For once, I think this is a good idea. Sony needs to be taught an object lesson that it is not cool to screw around with people's computers.
