PC World : Is That a Rootkit on Your PlayStation 3?

"Oh dear, did Sony quietly slip a rootkit onto the PS3 with its recent 3.56 system update? Did the company apply a suite of software tools designed to conceal (their) surreptitious file manipulation? To hide realtime processes executed without your knowledge or consent? Is your PS3 compromised?"~Matt Peckham

Well... I would have to say that he is right. Sony does reserve this right in their TOS. But there may be a bit more behind this. I have a slight feeling that this is because of the recent lawsuit, and they are trying to make those people that might be doing something illegal known to them and maybe actually do something about it.
