Hey, just wanted to say I’m glad a few of us remember the rootkit fiasco. I still won’t buy Sony products today.

[–] Nightwind@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same here. This was such a hostile move I never bought anything "Sony" after that.

Don't forget the "fix" Sony offered after they were initally caught was an even MORE invasive rootkit. 🫠

Yeah, fuck those rootkits. Despicable.
