The information seems just as unreliable. Excuse me if I don't call the esteemed data security services of deathindustrial. Sony has a black eye over this. There was a breach and personal data was lost. That was bad. The informed customers 6 days after they discovered the breach. That is worse. A credit card database was cofirmed stolen. That is even worse. To top it off, the online system that went down is still down 18 days later. BAMM! That is a black eye that is going to sting for a few years. Fixing this mess and repairing the damage is going to cost Sony alot of money over the course of those years. It isn't about wanting to see Sony fall. When we hear the details of how and why this breach occured, we can discuss the degree to which Sony was negligent before the breach. The results of the breach, however, are bad enough. At this point, the hole has been dug and Sony is in it. |
The article says he checked what software the PSN servers were running. The software was up to date. I highly doubt Sony, or any company for that matter, would update the software on one server and not the others. That would be highly illogical, and supremely lazy. It's just software. A simple download and install is all that is needed.
