| Profcrab said: 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. |
As Trollian said, the professor's claim was just as, if not more, unreliable. And I have to laugh at the few years comment. It will take only a few months after the PSN goes back up for this to be out of the vast majority's minds. It's already started to slip out of people's minds because of the news of Bin Laden's death.
