Sony Restores the PlayStation Network

[awesome_ninja]

nope... they pissed off the modders, and they got what they deserved... an ass kicking

wow you really believe that don't you or are you hoping others will believe your nonsense

I just hate Sony for removing OtherOS and other modding posibilities... It's our consoles Sony, stop updating it every god damn day against pirates that doesn't do shit, except piss off customers!

given what i hear its not even your console your just renting it for life. frankly i didn't own a ps3 with the otherOS and couldn't care less that its gone

Ya, cause you don't mod stuff... I bet you just buy games for it, and use it from times to times as a multimedia tool... There ar....were so much possibilities with it before that. Oh well, I got the PS3 for "free" so meh

pc is so much better for nodding so I'll stick with that thank you

I have a PC too, but using a PS3 to do simple stuff as DL torrents uses much less energy...and that's just one example

To quote Kazuo Hirai at 3:21 "In Short. make the protection of consumer data a full time, company wide commitment."

Was the protection of consumer data not a full time, company wide commitment?
And if not. Why not?

It's 9:50 AM in Germany and PSN is still down. But the Firmware update can be downloaded, at least.

Wish your fellow european buddies luck, guys.

its simple to do on the pc as well so whats your point

 

[Cowabungaa]

Cool, now I can...can...ermmm...download some demos I guess. Ever since I got my new gaming PC I only get a select number of games for the PS3, most of which singleplayer only.

Yaaaaaaay, I can finally play some Red Dead or Assassin's Creed multiplayer! Well, okay not quite yet. But it won't be much longer now.

When you can find a game for it. Which I never can. Sometimes I hate Europe.

[8bitmaster]

yay finally psn is back! Although now I gotta wait for an email from them so I can reset my password, and the store isn't back up yet so I still can't download anything to my new ps3. Ah well. Online mvc3 it is then.

Are you really argueing about energy consumption PS3 vs. PC? Seriously, both of you. Get over yourselves, it doesn't make a difference.

Good for them.
Doesn't really bother me as I don't have a ps3.

And cutting costs in security, the reason all this happened in the first place. You don't cut costs in you customer's security Sony, what is wrong with you?
I facepalm at how quick to forgive gamers are... They cut costs in your frickin security, but now that you get a measly week of free playstation plus it's instantly okay?

"...increased levels of encryption, additional firewalls, and early warning systems."

That would imply they were previously encrypting data behind a firewall, which wasn't the case. I wish they wouldn't act like everyone is an idiot.

On the other hand, they are doing well in the wake of all this. It'd just be nice if they elaborated on what kind of encryption they are using. It would make me feel much more comfortable about everything.

who can say other then Sony if they had encryption at all. I'm more likely to believe Sony then someone that doesn't even work for them

If you haven't heard, it's has been reported on by many [http://consumerist.com/2011/05/security-expert-sony-knew-its-software-was-obsolete-months-before-psn-breach.html] reputable [http://www.gamespot.com/news/6312333/sony-knew-psn-had-no-firewall-installed-expert] sources [http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/05/psn-servers-were-unpatched-and-had-no-firewall-installed-secu/]. That's besides the fact that the hackers go everything. If it was encrypted, they wouldn't have. All they had to do is elevate their permissions in an unpatched server. Nothing difficult for someone who knows what they are doing.

"advanced security technology, increased levels of encryption, additional firewalls, and early warning systems"

I like how they try to push this as some kind of serious advancement. Adding a few firewalls, and upgrading your encryption level will help, but not substantially. Yes increasing encryption will delay the time it takes for the data to be decrypted, and adding firewalls will increase the amount of time for the information to be accessed, but they're probably both things they should have already upgraded in the last year or two.

Now while early warning systems and "advanced security technology" (Which quite frankly looks like a buzz word) may seem nice and all, I can't help but think all they did was update there systems a bit and call it good.

Every good company calls in security experts from all over the world every time they release a new system, or create a new one. IE : Microsoft/Apple often invites people to crack their OS. And guess what? Someone ALWAYS manages to do it.

I know companies can only do so much, but I really don't feel confident that there won't be another attack that damages them in the future, if the attackers wish to do more damage.
