According to Mikko Hyppönen's post to F-Secure's blog Sony Electronics has confirmed that they received the research report this week: http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/archive-082007.html#00001266 The post says that companies have opened direct discussion channels and Sony will receive the internal technical report of the case. Maybe we will see an official response document from Sony later. - Juha-MattiPaul Sebastian Ziegler <psz () observed de> wrote:

The devices are old and all that is "rootkit-like" about them is the fact that they interact with the kernel in order to hide their own files from corruption. Not everything that interacts with the kernel is a rootkit. Or would anyone want to classify GRSecurity as a rootkit? RBAC will let you hide parts of your filesystem as well... > Have a read of Have another one: http://observed.de/?entnum=101 Now I was outraged by Sony's Copyprotection Rootkit - but this is simply something different.
