Forums - Gaming Discussion - Sony Cyber Attack Casts Microsoft In A Bad Light

http://wallstreetpr.com/sony-corp-adr-nysesne-cyber-attack-casts-microsoft-corporation-nasdaqmsft-in-a-bad-light-34439

Only Windows computers were compromised. Macs were left untouched.

So who do we blame here? Sony, the victim? The hackers? Or Microsoft?

I think the blame here lies with each of them. Sony for being cheap and buying Windows computers instead of Mac. The hackers for attacking Sony and Microsoft for having a vulnerable operating system.

Don't shoot the messenger! I'm only relaying the info from the article. I think it's worth discussing.



Wouldn't it be Apple's fault then? Cause I mean... The macs were left untouched seems pretty fishy to me! For all we know, it was Apple that did it! Them and their hipster hackers!

Oh and news flash, Macs also have a ton of viruses!

This is an absurd proposition tbh. And the thread title is equally absurd. Sorry.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahhah!yeah,I agree!Apple is responsible for all,even for the greenhouse effect.:P



I just blame the hackers for hacking. It make little sense to blame the targets of it. America in general should bolster it's defenses to hacking. Everything is pretty much vulnerable.



Oh, come on. Sony buy whatever OS suits them best. Windows just happens to be near universal. Should Windows be safer? Perhaps, but that's difficult when all the hackers attack your OS.
