The OP is IGN article.

Reuters has concluded that Sony Corp's computer networks remain vulnerable to attack	Sony Corp's computer networks remain vulnerable [...] according to an Internet security expert.

Moreover the security expert said that "he found no evidence of breaches beyond the two Sony has disclosed" (reuters, not ign) and that "Security experts have said they believe the hackers initially gained access to Sony's network through a "spear-phishing" attack that targeted a systems administrator who had broad privileges to access data on Sony's networks", which makes sense if the hackers really used a server from Amazon.

That is an amateurish error by IGN  (not the first nor will it be the last and presumably it was an error) but in all fairness to them they did mention the security expert and the organisation he works for straight afterwards. There are still some basic issues that should be adressed explained in greater detail in the original Reuters article.
