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.
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.

No one has issued a statement as to the details of the intrusion or the status of the servers at the time. We are likely going to get the details eventually since Sony is going to be answering detailed questions about this to the various government agencies that are investigating and the lawsuits that are brewing. Everything we are seeing are pieces of information that people are using to speculate. The information is either from questionable sources (the chat logs) or information that may not characterize whether or not Sony's security was "up to date".

The article clearly states you can check the status of the severs' security yourself with the proper know-how. There were also links provided for the nay sayer so they could verify it for themselves. There is no speculation. That is fact. The only way it would not be fact was if Google was in cahoots with Sony. Is Google a questionable source?
Claiming Sony's security was lax is speculation.
Proving Sony's security was not lax and providing the means to check said security is investigative and fact inducing.
