Sony Hacked Again
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
You know, I'm starting to wonder about this whole Sony thing. Maybe it's not about exploiting some security vulnerabilities for the lulz, or stealing people's personal information so they can sell it. Maybe a bunch of hackers have gotten together and said to themselves, "Anonymous' threats have no teeth. Let's use our knowledge of internet security to bring down an entire international corporation. Just to show that we can do it. To put the fear of God into them."
And you know what? It sucks for Sony's customers, but if hacking can be the balance of power against huge corporations that piss all over their customers, I'm willing to call it a net positive.
Or did everyone already forget about <url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_BMG_copy_protection_rootkit_scandal>that whole rootkit thing Sony BMG did in 2005?

This is one of those rare times I actually agree with you in a likeable manner.HankMan said:
That being said, this is just further proof that Sony's security....bytes.
The first hackers already proved that its childs play to hack Sony, so what the hell was this supposed to accomplish? just proving that they are small time hackers, something tells me these hackers are just a couple of nerdy tards who want in on whatever little action there was. Probably more of a bandwagon thing by now.
Also, for those who use their credit cards, or those that say sony should get pay pal... 1 Word, which is more or less 2 combined words, with an extra tidbit at the end, PrePaid Cards, yeah, they have them, thats what I used, theyre there if you didnt think the security was enough, its just a short walk to the local store, its a nice break from the pale-maker room you got there, also fresh air is nice ain't it? Dont mean to rub salt in an open wound, but my credit info is nice and secure, and I got loads of stuff from psn, should probly think about that before being so "gung-ho" to throw away credit info.

I really hope Sony employ a team solely devoted to finding out who all these hackers are, especially the one's causing the PSN derail, and punish them.
lol at those people thinking that this was a job of xbox fanboys, because that would prove they have skill to hack into collossal company departaments, even criple and get away with it.
the last sentence in OP is what i was thinking all the time. Also i saw someone mentioning that sony should hire those hackers, my opinion is that sony would do same as valve did and wouldn't hire them but put to jail.
