Actually, not just "in the past." Now, also.

Article from pcworld.com which talks about Sony's wonderful new fingerprint recognition on usb sticks.
There seems to be some debate as to whether or not this is truly a "rootkit" or not, but it does install hidden directories on the computer; said directories can then be exploited according to the company F-Secure.

I also just read that Sony has decided to either cut the line or make changes.
