I mean, for some reason they decided to put system harming malware on yoru computer... with the justification of "we didn't think people would care because they don't even know what it is!" Heck, they were even sending themselves info with that. So I mean... this was a case of Sony losing their info to theives. Rootkit was a case of Sony stealing your info and essentially hacking into your computer and making it easier for other people to hack into it. All because... you gave Sony money to buy one of their products. |
Yep, the rootkit was comparable to MS IE stealthily recording the users' sensible data in the file "index.dat" even when the users checked every possible option to make it NEVER memorize those data. I completely stopped using IE for e-commerce or to access any site requiring sensible data to give any service when I knew it. So, if I were a PSN user, after this incident I'd pretend its security to be checked and certified by an independent and respectable company before trusting it again.
