It seems that Sony learnt nothing from the rootkit crisis years ago (the BMW one, if I'm correct), or the developers of this flash drive are really absent minded, not awaring such a hidden application can be abused by hackers, most importantly, it can be discovered and cause their boss headaches.

Thanks for reminding me for this. I'm going to buy myself a flash drive soon. This tip can definitely help me to avoid those trouble-making Sony ones. Perhaps I should stick to the Sandisk one instead.
