While it is easy and valid to blame Sony for this problem, where were our beloved, and well-paid security companies?
Rootkits are an old, well-known attack – why didn’t Zone Alarm, Symantec, MacAffee, Computer Associates, or any of the others pick this up in the MONTHS that it has been out there?
This is either incompetence or collusion – neither should make someone who paid $70 + $20/year for a “security suite” to protect their computer happy.
The professional “security” industry created this problem and didn’t detect it… shame on us all.
