I've been thinking this since yesterday. but i think Sony in the last few days have formulated a plan.

why have Sony waited over a week to notify customers: because no cc data was actully taken?? i dont think any cc data was taken, i'm not convinced the hackers were even after the cc information...

so in this time we've had a media nightmare. but during this time the credit card companies have been put on high alert and customers have been fearful of their cc data being compremised. the media panic has most likely put the fear of god into the hackers.

and i think Sony will now abuse this incident to up their war on hackers. everytime they talk about hackers, they will remind governments, and the public that their cc detials were at risk. i think this is why Sony have waited a week to notify customers about the hack - because nothing illegal had actully been commited, which is why i think they didnt say anything straight away.

all we know was that the PSN was hacked, like Xbox Live in 2007, or iPhone, Android, Windows, etc. there was a concern about cc data, but i think Sony knew after a few days that cc information had not been taken - so they decided to create a situation were they will now be excused for aggressively targeting anyone who hacks their systems.

I think the last thing they should be doing is constantly reminding everyone how their data was compromised on PSN.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.
