Sony Hacked Again

[Kopikatsu]

-"It is nearly impossible to run a totally secure web presence, especially when you are the size of Sony,"-

So according to this 'Naked Security blog' Sony won't ever be safe. Good to know. They will never get my credit card number. Hurry up Sony, pull your heads out of your asses, and get on the paypal wagon.

Nothing is safe...nor will it be. Ever. It wasn't on the same scale as the PSN breach, but Xbox Live accounts have been hacked and had information stolen.

The moral of the story is, if you don't want to be vulnerable, don't put ANYTHING online. It severly limits you, but it's literally the only thing you can do.


Hell, after a few hours on Facebook I could get a list of names, social security numbers, and credit card numbers with minimal effort.

I don't even know why they're still doing it! Just cause that's all they have to do? It's like kicking them when their down, but afterwards trying to shoot it to keep it down longer, but for no real reason, or at least no reason I'm aware of.

 

[Shoot Here]

Nothing is safe. Not on the internet. There has actually been a team of hackers that by-passed the United State's security through trial-and-error using nothing but online programs.

Thing is, they need to buck up their security more if this keeps happening, because it will. Of course it's not going to end, but that's not an excuse to not try to make it better so maybe it doesn't happen like a weekly trend.

So this is what hackers do when they're bored? Surely there are more constructive uses for their time.

Be sure to go through the comments, too.

Most Paypal accounts are hacked through your email, though, so it's 'eh'.

The first time it was sort of "OK, it might have happened to any company.", but now the amount of times Sony are being hacked is mounting to a ridiculous level. I'm pretty sure by this point Sony are speaking a load of shit if they say that their security team isn't headed up by a disabled gorilla.

I don't get it. Why don't Sony back down?

Release a press statement: "We have in the past operated without ethical constraint. In doing so we've attracted the attention of a number of aggrieved customers. We would like to apologise for poor business practice which lead to this and will endeavour in future to provide quality gaming services without infringing on customer rights."

I bet you the attacks would stop immediately if Sony did that.

This is why it needs to be legal to shoot Hackers

 

[AbstractStream]

10$ if they catch the hackers, they will hire them to build better security.

I actually agree with this. Let's raise it up to $20.

 

[Frostbite3789]

Oh no! Not information like real names that can be found anywhere on the internet! Whatever will they do?!

Seriously though, this is getting extremely tiresome.

Yeah cause those never get hijacked.

I don't think any of these hackers go by the name Professor Zoom. I think they're doing it because they're like sharks, and Sony ended up with a cut on their hand.

instead of using dummys for nuclear missile tests, how bout we just use every single hacker in the world instead. put them in a nice (computer free) nuketown from the game most of them love surround it with a 80 ft high electric fence and then nuke it! lots of dead hackers and more realistic tests! who knows how long it will be until thes people can hack life? maybe they already can !

 

[Casual Shinji]

These hackers have officially turned into Tom Green.

Fucking. Annoying.

 

[GuitarSlingingManiac]

At first I laughed when all this stuff started happening.
Then I felt bad for the people who had their info stolen.
Then the hacking happened again and yet again, I laughed.
Totally came full circle.

 

[Arctarus'sCookie]

At first I was having fun with the whole "OH NOES SONY IS BEING HAX0RD" thing, but it needs to stop now. Why are these hackers angry at Sony? And what can be done to stop this?

*sigh*

Sony, hire some "good" hackers to trace these attacks back to the "evil" hackers so these bastards can get some nice jailtime.

These miserable bastards have got to get a life. Or at least have to inject a little variety into it. Why not attack Microsoft and XBLA network? Mmm? Why make Playstation people suffer all the time. Unless they're XBox fan boys. Then I'd understand. Well not really.

Because Microsoft never offered a feature for installing Linux so people could have homebrew and then snatched it away, then sued people who tried to get it back which basically says that they think they still own everybody's Playstation 3 hardware.

Remember, whether or not you agree with what Sony did with Install Other OS is irrelevant here. What is relevant is that a lot of these hackers do NOT agree with Sony, and are pissed off at Sony, and that's why they're attacking Sony and not Microsoft.
