So, if you've ever played a Sony Records CD or installed a Sony game on your compys, be careful.
P.S.

Not Compy as in Compsognathus

Well, I figure if you're stupid enough to pay money for a Celine Dion CD and put it in your PC, then you get what you deserve..... 
I just feel sorry for all the MIS staff that will have to clean up the PCs, patch the servers, and harden the firewalls from bonehead users doing this crap at work time after time. (Yep, that's me, and no, I'm not bitter at all, why do you ask?

I think that its bad enough that Sony has hidden the software, that installs hidden tracing and backdoor programs, on their CDs as a form of "copy-protection". Now that hackers are exploiting the fact that Sony has left your PC wide open, I am sure they will be getting more than a few angry emails.
