Forums - Sony - PlayStation Network Still Not Secure, Says Ex-Hacker

Meh, this is a little misleading.

The title implies that SONY did a half assed job of improving the security of PSN and that it can still be easily hacked.

When in the article the guy says nothing is secure, anybody can be hacked.

Did you even read the OP?

The guy is saying, Sony should hire people that have field experience instead of only relying on book-smart ones.

Anyone can be attacked. His point is to better defend against attack.

I can understand that, but at no point in the article did he say that PSN security is still shit or mediocre at best, the title implies something else entirely, not the fact that anybody is vulnerable to hacking, which we all knew anyway.

You missed the obvious. He was spinning his words in order to promote himself and his company -- by saying that his competitors are like basic infantry compared his company of Navy SEALS it makes him look good and possibly makes him a sale.

Anyway the main point is -- nothing is 100% secure. Even proavably secure encrpytion like One-Time-Pad has a major security flaw that can be exploited.



Most interesting part of the article:

"Then over the years I became a hacker for hire for big corporations through someone who I called my agent, who was an attorney. I started hitting companies for about a million dollars a week."

Shows what lengths corporations will do to gain an upper hand against the competition. Is anyone still defending these giant monololiths?

This.  I wouldn't be surprised if the reason he spent those months in jail was due to an"IT manager".  He was trying to promote his company and used the PSN as a jumping point/reasoning as to why you should.
