Two things jump out at me here
"the nature of the attack suggests the hackers responsible may not have been particularly skillful"
and
"It is nearly impossible to run a totally secure web presence, especially when you are the size of Sony,"
I would imagine that they sony has the budget to at the very least keep out the less skillful hackers.

I feel like the Escapist is gonna start running out of ways to name these articles. I imagine the last board meeting ended with the boss saying "ok guys, I want 10 variations of 'Sony got hacked again' from each of you by the end of the week".

OT: And this gentlemen, is why sticking your dick into a beehive is a bad idea.

God, Sony is useless. I for one support these attacks, without them Sony wouldn't know how god awful their security is
So your saying we need douche bags in order to teach Sony how to protect itself form Douche bags.
No, we need douchebags to show the public how fucking awful Sony protects your information.
Yes, from hackers who go after the information, without those kinds of people we wouldn't need to protect ourselves.

Sony's security has got more holes than the logic of a Fox News Political commentator.
You do realize you've already won enough internets by now? We can't afford to keep awarding you them.

My point is, that maybe now people will question the company whom they're about to upload all their personal information to. I mean, the article says that these hackers werent particularly skillfull, I mean shit, I'm not gonna give any personal information to Sony again
Then you might as well never give any personal information to anyone in e-commerce. Sony's no worse secure than some and probably better secure than many.

Oh for fuck's sake...

Would people please stop picking on Sony? I'm not just talking about hackers here; I'm talking about all the people who keep blabbing "I'm not giving Sony my info", "Think about who you give info to", blah blah fucking blah. Okay, to the first, why the hell should we care what YOU do with YOUR info? To the second, why don't YOU think for a second? When you have a gigantic company, it gets a lot harder to keep track of every single aspect of it. The larger your front, the more weak spots you are likely to have, and when people like this systematically bombard the company time and time again, of course they are going to find these hidden flaws! If people attacked companies like Microsoft with the same fervour, they'd be suffering just as badly!

I'm not some Sony fanboy here; I don't give a crap about anything they do outside of PSN. I'm just so sick of people shoving the "holy-than-thou" stick up their ass and, god forbid, even SUPPORT these bastards!

You're both completely missing my point and I cba explaining it further
Maybe the fact that both of us are "missing" your point tells you something about your point.

I was pissed off at first but now I just want this to end. Sony needs a break. Maybe they should eat a KitKat

$20 says the hackers will say microsoft paid them due to portal 2
The hackers behind the Sony Music Japan intrusion claim to be affiliates of Security Lulz (the group that hacked a FOX server two weeks ago). Looks like -- as their name suggests -- they're doing it for the lulz.

Do I get your $20?

Seriously? Another one?!

Well dammit. According to that article, if the info posted by the hackers is genuine, there's 2 more potential targets. Wonder how that will pan out-if the attacks aren't already underway, that is...
It's actually another two if you include the Indonesian sever that was hacked over the weekend and defaced but no data stolen.

And the weird thing (if you expect that there'd be either rhyme or reason in this cluster-fuck) is that they're now targeting servers that have nothing to do with Sony's video game subsidiaries.
