I'm curious about this binding... what this because of a sharing 
agreement that you or F-Secure couldn't say anything?  Or does it have 
to do with some agreement with first4internet or Sony?

I would not like for my security vendor to be withholding threat 
information just because it was Sony that rootkitted me.  And yes, based 
on information available so far, I consider this rk to be plenty malicious.
