  I feel like Sony did a Sony here.

  Does no one remember when Sony shipped 22 million malware infested CDs because they were worried about Napster?

    Not just any old malware, but insecure rootkits that allowed ANYONE to have total control over the system with their own malware above the OS-level with no way to even know the malware was there.

    Did that actually break computers? I remember hearing about it at the time but I also don’t remember having a problem. I didn’t think I took any real precautions either, I just carried on as per and nothing ever happened.
