Sony Didn't Learn the First Time

Sony once again is installing DRM spyware using rootkit techniques embedded in USB drives |
A line of USB drives sold by Sony Electronics installs files in a hidden folder that can be accessed and used by hackers.
The fact that the hidden directory goes unspotted by some antivirus scanners -- is similar to the Sony BMG rootkit case in late 2005.
Needless to say, steer clear of these Sony MicroVault USB flash drives, at least until this mess is sorted out.
