This is not new news, however I had not run across it until this morning. Sony is including code on approx 24000 CD titles that install rootkit software on your computer. Everyone who has played a sony CD on your computer in the past year should download and listen to Security Now Podcast No. 12, Sony's "Rootkit Technology" DRM. This is a major security issue that allows the script creep to take over your computer. Leo Laporte and Steve Gibson discuss the danger and how to remove a rootkit once it is installed.
