when I first heard about this I was in complete disbelief until a friend showed me one of the cds. (even using linux I was still rather hesitent as I heard reports of a Mac rootkit too..) I booted up a VMWare and looked at what the cd did...rootkitted...
This is incredibly stupid, I discovered after some probing that the rootkit affects the ENTIRE SYSTEM, meaning that since it's discovery and people finding out about it's inner workings means that any script kiddie could easily exploit the damn thing.
I've heard that it is already started to be used to fool anti-cheat programs. overall this is irresponsible and stupid of Sony.
