What is it with Sony and their lack of constantly updated security? I'm shocked it happened again really. They need to work on their security methods and whatnot for the benefit of playstation fans everywhere. Still, going offline for six weeks must've been terrible. Let's just all hope it doesn't happen again.
Don't blame Sony 100% for this. Hackers are becoming more and more talented at what they do. If they move faster than these big companies than that isn't the companies' fault.
This. Plus, what makes people think that this was the hackers' first attempt? It could've taken them tons of tries, and months before this happened. I'm no hacker, but I'm sure it's not that easy to hack a company like Sony.
This as well. Sony might be getting hacked again, but it's not like this is something that you do in a day. I mean, no matter what, a company like Sony is going to take time to hack, and you have to be careful to do it so that you're not noticed. I'm not a hacker, and have no idea how that goes, but if they are noticed, they need a way to get away without getting found out. These guys most likely took their time, and when they were ready, finally did the big strike.
It is anything but easy. Actually more or less if they find out its you then you are pretty much screwed no matter how hard you try to "get away". Plus there are tons of ways to hack and not all of them can be invasive so to speak.
Well good news there. Well, I mean no one got hacked. Thank god though, I own a PS3 and a proud (lol?) player of PSN, and it's good to know I haven't been hacked.
