Hi All,
Apparently Sony cannot learn from their past and have introduced another
rootkit with another of their devices. This time it is their Microvault
USB drive that has fingerprint security.
That is not exactly new news.
The devices are old and all that is "rootkit-like" about them is the
fact that they interact with the kernel in order to hide their own files
from corruption.
Not everything that interacts with the kernel is a rootkit. Or would
anyone want to classify GRSecurity as a rootkit? RBAC will let you hide
parts of your filesystem as well...
Have a read of
Have another one:

Now I was outraged by Sony's Copyprotection Rootkit - but this is simply
something different.
Many Greetings
Paul
