| walsufnir said: Your comparison is odd. Do you close your doors if you leave your home? Do you lock the doors of your car if you leave it? This hacking of Sony revealed that there security concept had many, many flaws in the concept itself so it was possible for the hackers to achieve what is now known around the web. Of course, without the hackers this wouldn't have happened but big companies are constantly a target for hackers and they know they are so yes, partially the victim is also to blame here. |
The comparison is apt, albeit a tad extreme. Your comparisons are however, inaccurate. Since Sony doesn't just 'invite' outside connections, the comparison would be, I leave my home, lock my doors, set the alarms, and someone uses high tech equipment to bypass those systems. In which case, you'd still be blaming me for not having enough security. Likewise with a car, it has locks and most of the newer ones not only have alarms, but have key fob's, which require them to be near the car to unlock. They can and are circumvented, so you'd still be blaming the owner for not having more security.
The problem isn't companies security, or household security, or car security, the problem is, there's no easy way to track down the hackers, or, they exist in countries that are either beyond the arm of international law (North Korea, China, Russia or hell, even in situations like Stuxnet, the US..not like the US or Israel are going to allow Iran access to any of the folks who made it).
