The reason hackers get Sony is because they installed rootkits in everyone of their window's consumers. Then they apologized, released a "fix" that only hid the rootkit.

Besides, it must be fun to keep hacking the same company and seeing that they haven't changed anything in their IT.

And by "apologized", you mean "having a top Sony executive insult their customers' intelligence":

> "Most people don't even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it?"

I'm pretty happy to have not bought a single Sony product since 2005. I think that people should boycott brands that spit in their soup, but Doctorow makes a better point: these companies should be killed.
