Sounds a bit silly but could Sony be hosting some of the elements of the PSN on EC2 and this is just a PR story to pass the buck... the dates seem a little too

Sounds a bit silly but could Sony be hosting some of the elements of the PSN on EC2 and this is just a PR story to pass the buck... the dates seem a little too similar to me..
- chc 16y agoA PR story? Those are usually meant to give good PR, not make your platform look insecure and unstable. I don't see how it would be in Sony's interests to pretend the widely publicized Amazon outage had nothing to to with its problems and instead make up a story about how its security had been breached.
- thehodge 16y agoWe may see it differently, from my point of view its much easier for Sony to blame this on anon as a) there is a known conflict already and its very simple to point the finger b) it hides the fact that a critical part of there system is on a 3rd party service with no contingency plan / backups.. I haven't read anywhere about security breached all I've seen is DDOS and thats exactly what anon are known for.
