| fordy said: they don't have to exceed security standards, but they at least have to be on par with companies carrying sensitive information. They didn't even follow the tips in Apache's security guide: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/misc/security_tips.html Keep up to Date
The Apache HTTP Server has a good record for security and a developer community highly concerned about security issues. But it is inevitable that some problems -- small or large -- will be discovered in software after it is released. For this reason, it is crucial to keep aware of updates to the software. If you have obtained your version of the HTTP Server directly from Apache, we highly recommend you subscribe to the Apache HTTP Server Announcements List where you can keep informed of new releases and security updates. Similar services are available from most third-party distributors of Apache software. Of course, most times that a web server is compromised, it is not because of problems in the HTTP Server code. Rather, it comes from problems in add-on code, CGI scripts, or the underlying Operating System. You must therefore stay aware of problems and updates with all the software on your system.
As you can see, it's not that hard to keep up to date. Apache themselves has an announcements list, which only requires a hookup to a feed reader. Didn't you read my earlier post? I criticize ANY company who has sensitive information taken from them. I'm not a fanboy who kicks up a stink because somebody criticizes about his favourite company. |
Again what proof do you have that they are behind any companies with equally sensitive information (btw I don't think your name and date of birth is sensitive or your address is all that sensitive either) again address not all that sensitive and nothing else is even close, so yeah and again no proof they are behind the industry standards and you have yet to call any other company or companies in general what you have been calling Sony
