  Rootkit-like behavior found on Sony fingerprint reader
Time: 14:53 EST/19:53 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner

Finnish anti-virus vendor F-Secure has found rootkit-like features in a plug-and-play fingerprint reader marketed by Sony.

The discovery was made when F-Secure’s BlackLight scanner picked up hidden files on a system with the Sony Microvault USM-F fingerprint reader software.

In addition to the software that was packaged with the USB stick, F-Secure also tested the latest software version available from Sony and found the same hiding functionality. “[We] feel that rootkit-like cloaking techniques are not the right way to go here,” Pehkonen said.
