Will someone pull these assholes aside, slap them a couple of times and remind them that they're messing stuff up for the rest of us? Call of Duty multiplayer

Will someone pull these assholes aside, slap them a couple of times and remind them that they're messing stuff up for the rest of us? Call of Duty multiplayer be damned, every time this happens they're giving those knee-jerk, reactionary geniuses in Washington more rope to hang us all with when it comes to the Internet.
- dagw 15y agoWhich "assholes" are you talking about? The Sony developers who left a huge glaring security hole wide open on their website, the third-party security consultants whom Sony hired to catch these kinds of mistakes before going live or the person who spotted the obvious security flaw and did the reasonable thing to alert Sony about their mistake.
- sigzero 15y agoIs the "reasonable" thing here "hacking the sony site"? If it is, you are wrong. That isn't reasonable.
- pemulis 15y agoHacking the site? They found an obvious security vulnerability, tested it, and alerted the company. What should they have done? Sit back and wait for a bad actor to exploit it?
- iamdave 15y agoOkay did you read the article? It points directly to a link that explains how someone found yet another vulnerability in PSN and that individuals were already exploiting it. http://sony.nyleveia.com/2011/05/17/warning-all-psn-users-your-accounts-are-still-not-safe/ http://sony.nyleveia.com/2011/05/17/warning-all-psn-users-yo...
- pemulis 15y agoI think I misunderstood who you were talking about in the grandparent post: It seemed like you were railing against the people who wrote the article for testing the exploit and describing it online.
- tzs 15y agoSo what do you think someone should do when they find a major security hole in a web site?
