Sony has the worst cybersecurity I’ve seen. Hackers are constantly running wild on them

I still can’t believe Sony is still in business. Who’s dumb enough to keep buying stuff from a company that booby-trapped their own CDs?

If you read the article, they are no longer in the business of selling theatre projection equipment.

Sorry to be unclear, I meant in general - so because they booby trapped their CDs, nobody should buy their anything, not just CDs and projectors.

Yeah it’s crazy to think that a company like Sony makes more than just music.

Also interesting that Sony makes more money selling insurance and banking in Japan than they do with their music globally.

They’re pushing the boundaries on where to put malware!

Why would I care about anything CD related…

Because it’s the result of their disrespect for you, the customer.
