    FBI Reportedly Arrests LulzSec Hacker (Or Not)

    That's a rather silly statement. If they were inside the US and they can't track them down or positively identify them, there'd also be nothing anyone could do. You can't ever arrest those who you haven't first identified and located. And international arrest in and extradition from a country...

    Sony Website Hacked By the "Lulz Boat"

    Actually, according to them, they're highly motivated. They've tasked themselves with "owning" Sony and effectively bringing the company to its knees. Apparently, they hold some sort of grudge. Which does set them apart from your more typical cyber-thief motivated by financial gain and who will...

    Tight Security Promised for Call of Duty Elite Service

    Come on, man. That pun's a washed up effort. You gotta be able to do better than that. Or, at least, I sincerely hope you can since you do appear to be unfailingly committed to being the Escapist's Resident Punster.

    Tight Security Promised for Call of Duty Elite Service

    No, it doesn't. Granted that it may be a "debacle" but there's no need to use the word twice in the same sentence.

    [UPDATE] PSN Password Reset Vulnerable to Exploit

    I can't argue if what Sony did or didn't do was reasonably sufficient to avoid data loss. I don't think anyone can because the totality of what Sony did or didn't do isn't at all clear or of general public knowledge. Moreover, I don't think there's any way to absolutely guarantee that data will...

    [UPDATE] PSN Password Reset Vulnerable to Exploit

    That you think when a position is advertised as "Senior Application Security Analyst," the "Senior" refers not to the position relative to other Application Security Analysts but, rather, "can simply mean a level of experience," tells me that further discussion with you is a waste of my time...

    [UPDATE] PSN Password Reset Vulnerable to Exploit

    And you think the one position of "Senior Application Security Analyst" they were looking to fill comprised their entire IT security staff? And wasn't but one position among many positions in their IT security team? And the fact that the position's title includes the word "Senior" doesn't...

    Sony Agrees to Testify Before U.S. Congress

    No, June 2. July 2 is a Saturday. And the House isn't even in session between June 25 and July 5.

    [UPDATE] PSN Password Reset Vulnerable to Exploit

    Did you read the article fully and keenly? They were looking to hire a Security Analyst long before the hack occurred. That they were isn't -- couldn't have been -- in response to the hack.

    Sony Agrees to Testify Before U.S. Congress

    Agreed. Bono Mack sounds like she's out for blood. But in the long run, she'll be happy just getting her dog and pony show covered live by C-SPAN and a quote or two in the press.

    Sony Agrees to Testify Before U.S. Congress

    The "freedoms" Americans keep yelling about are personal freedoms, like the free exercise of religion, freedom of speech and press, freedom to be secure in your house from unwarranted search and seizure, etc., etc. These personal freedoms don't mean that the government can't regulate many...

    Sony Agrees to Testify Before U.S. Congress

    No problem. If the situation was Australian, then Congress would be your Parliament, not your Federal Courts.

    Sony Agrees to Testify Before U.S. Congress

    Quit giving out so much misinformation. This is Congress we're talking about. Congress is not a court, it is a legislative body. And this isn't any kinda breach of national security. It's a breach of Sony's security. Sony does not keep any national secrets. And I'm sure Sony isn't going to...
