Sony shipped fucking root kits on their CD that would hijack your PC and screw with backup software.
Worse, this thing from Sony was on music CD’s and not even games.
The Sony Rootkit debacle is one of the reasons that I still will not do business with Sony in any of its guises, for any reason, no matter the price. And believe me, I have a long memory.
I stopped doing business with them when they destroyed some kids life for cracking blueray and posting the keys online, and another kid for rootkiting one of the playstations.
“Hey, you weren’t supposed to be able to figure that out… CRIMINAL”. Fuck you, reverse engineering is legal you fucks.
