I didn’t remember the exact year of the rootkit incident but I knew it was around the mid-2000s because that’s when I coincidentally started to try Linux (and fully switched to it in a year or two) and I would pay attention to this kind of news (I guess they played a role in my commitment to Linux).
Well, so there might not be something special about 1997 regarding Sony after all… but I agree about Sony being at their peak in the 90s.
Hey, thanks.
