A poster on a website does brief research that consitutes looking up the version of a the web server operating Sony's webpage and this consitutes any sort of real proof that the servers that were breached were up to date and had the appopriate security?  The information seems just as unreliable.  Excuse me if I don't call the esteemed data security services of deathindustrial.

 

But you said it right there, the information is just as unreliable, so now you have two unreliable sources and yet some will still say that it's a foregone conclusion that Sony's servers were out of date.  Why trust one unreliable source over another?

 

I didn't say that I did.  As I said, the results are what is giving Sony the black eye.  How it happened is becoming less and less important every day that PSN is down.

If we are going to talk about how it happened and the post on Beyond3D, then I would say that a poster took a single piece of data and drew more conclusions from that than were warranted.  The level of speculation on his part is pretty high.  Since we do have government agencies involved, it is likely that we are going to recieve a report on how it happened at some point.  But, as i said, how it happened is not as important to the consumers as what the result is.
