Its a grey area. Hacking groups are obviously to blame and are obviously the main issue. But i stil feel that consumers are entitled to throw some anger at the companies as well. I dont know much about the Steam hacking yet, but ive done a fait bit of research on the PSN hacking, and i feel that the security mechanisms in place wernt up to scratch. As for how much this matters? Probably not very much.....a professional and dedicated hacker group will find a way to get access to something, irrespective. But like i said, the least companies can do is use standard security mechanisms thats accepted in the ICT industry. Also i have no issues with the timing of the public been told, or how either company has handled the situation. Theres only so much that can be done in a situation like that, and i think they did everything apart from finding the culprit and re acquiring the info which is practically impossible. |
I agree once the information is gone then the damage has been done and theres nothing you can do to reclaim it, i would say this is an issue to every company handling sensative information and the amount of security they employ to protect it, we can do nothing but hope these situations help to improve standards across the board
