This rootkitlike behavior is "closely related to the Sony BMG case," Hypponen said. "First of all, it is another case where rootkitlike cloaking is ill-advisedly used in commercial software. Also, the [devices] we ordered are products of the same company—Sony Corporation."

Sony is at it again... this time striking Fingerprint Readers... lovely.
