"did not attempt to break in to password-protected sites or exploit any vulnerabilities"

 

Ah, ok: that explains it all.

Bumgarner concluded to Reuters that "no one should be able to point a web browser at Sony and see a security management console[...]"

 

Uhm, I'm smelling the odour of a MS bot: only MS servers have a "security management console" (it's a part of MS Forefront Protection), but Sony use Apache servers. It's like someone saying that the start menu of the MACOSX is bad...

Wow, if that is true, then your post will defintely get ignored by quite a few on here. 

A lot of things are called console.

I.E. a linux command prompt could be called console.

The fact is that Security Management Console is a specific part of a MS product, it could be like calling an off-road vehicle a Jeep, or saying  Hoover instead of  vacuum cleaner, or Internet Explorer instead of web browser. Internet and explorer are two common words, but their combination is ambiguous.

Edit: however it's the IGN article to be a piece of crap, the original Reuters article is much more balanced and reasonable: "Reuters has concluded that", it says, but nowhere Reuters concluded something, they just reported what that guy had to say. Bad sensationalism.
