this entire thread of conversations is a joke. Do you know more about this breach than what was written in the article because they clearly state they don't know exactly what happened. Which isn't to say that Sony doesn't know more but from details released how can you know anything about what Sony does or doesn't do security wise that they should have been?
Like literally the first rule of Security is that as the person trying to defend, protect, secure something you are always at a disadvantage. Of course Sony has money to hire top notch Security Engineers to protect their interests and I'm sure they do but like anyone else they can be beat.
This is all not even accounting for the security black hole that is user idiocy, or the fact that the article makes several references to potential inside help.
In short Sony's past exploits don't give them a ton of credit but it's also a bit ridiculous to go from they could have done better to where this whole thread went.
- matthewmacleod 12y ago* Of course Sony has money to hire top notch Security Engineers to protect their interests and I'm sure they do but like anyone else they can be beat.* Maybe they do; I don't know. That's not really relevant to the point which I'm making, which is more along the lines of: "Disregarding security as a startup because it's not a 'core competency' is ill-advised. History suggests that you're likely to be compromised, and it causes harm not only to your business, but also to your users, and is absolutely irresponsible."
