please find me a quote for the sony rep who asked hackers to hack the company... if you do find it we can email sony and have him fired furthermore this part : "most companies aren't both negligent and then shouing "Hey come hack me!" " doesn't really make sense in the context of hackers fighting for their own gains. I say that because assuming by "Hey come hack me!" you mean offending hackers, how is a company supposed to be aware of all of the actions they can take that would offend hackers? For example in this situatiopn with sony, how would sony have known that going to trial against geohot would have brought on this kind of reaction? ( assuming of course sony hasn't hired a team of psychics ) personally i was quite surprised by what happened |
Common sense. If you really were suprised... I feel sorry for you.
Why would it matter? Well because there are dozens and dozens of systems out there, and it's a matter of just picking ones out randomly to hack.
Sony freaking out so badly about a hacker shows a complete lack of knowledge of how to deals with hackers, which suggests they probably have crappy security.
