Sony's Blames The World for Hacker Woes

[machomuu]

You ever felt really sorry for someone that's been cruel to you, and then they do something to screw it all up? That's Sony and me.

Stringer's reply is no more than what I would have expected from a capitalist and a scoundrel.

 

[I am r4ymond]

First they blame the hackers for breaching through their security, and then they blame the WHOLE world? This is about as retarded as it can get. They should be blaming themselves for crap security.

Uh-huh, okay, I think I get the message now.

Loooong post ahead.

First, to reiterate a point many seem to ignore. Companies never get the best security on the planet. Generally, hackers can crack it if they want to. Saying Sony's security sucks because they've been hacked multiple times is ignorant. Who's to say it isn't the same person taking advantage of the same exploits? Hackers that go big are good at covering their tracks. Fixing security isn't a snap of your fingers process either, otherwise the PS Store would have been back ages ago. Sony is being overloaded. No company has a security team made to take this kind of stress.

Cyber attacks are nothing new. In the age of internet though, they have become more prominent. Although it is whiny, there is a point hidden in there. The world is shifting very much to electronics with more and more personal information being kept in the constantly dangerous realms of the internet. I feel Sony is less blaming the world, but more blaming the world wide web. Sony has been around for awhile. I mean, they were making cassette walkmans. Back then, they didn't have to worry about advanced internet security and the like. Hell, I'm sure the security of places such as Nintendo is considerably worse, but nobody is enough of an asshole to hack them. It's just the technological age, and people are still catching up.

I'm a little sick of the consistent idiocy that happens though whenever a new "herp derp Sony got dah hax0rs" thread pops up. We get it, hackers are launching cyber attacks on Sony's servers and stealing information. Every company on this planet is susceptible to such attacks. There are only so many security measures that can be taken. Sony is trying their hardest, but the consistent criticism, suing, and the like is hindering things to an incredible extent.

If people want things to get fixed, they need to settle down and stop bitching for more than two hours at a time. Unless you want to go and fix it yourself, or you know the exact specifications of Sony's server security, you can't say "it bad cuz sony no keep ppl out

"

I can see Sony is just getting pissed though. I mean, c'mon. How well would you handle all of this?

@ Nathan Drake,

just because u say something doesn't make it true. if that were the case, the world would have ended last weekend. where is ur proof that companies never provide the best security? u talk of how people r idiots for attacking sony yet ur entire post is full of assumptions with no evidence to back any of it up. I suppose it's not surprising that a fanboy would spout off such nonsense considering sony does the same thing.

 

[Sheimi]

Wow Sony.

Seriously, what a dick!

this way: shut the fuck up until you fix your security problems. After that, apology to your users for these "technical problems"

 

[Magmorph]

Sony's customer relations are getting worse and worse. Most companies at least make an attempt not to look like arrogant assholes who care nothing for their customers.

They have. They LITERALLY did exactly what you just said.

And then this douchebag comes along and blames the world.

Please, tell me, outside of a small handful of things; how much of what I said is truly an assumption? It is primarily observation combined with prior knowledge. Without pointing out exactly where the problems lie, your post is far more worthless than mine. I'm not going to state why I'm not a fanboy, as I'm sure you will just troll your face off, so I don't particularly care.

Go fail elsewhere troll.

I wish Sony could just do this, but people consider silence to be a sign of the end of a company in a situation like this. Sony should issue an apology, but I'm sure most people, especially a few on these forums, would always cry that it's not good enough. I mean, seriously, do you want Sony to send somebody to personally send you a large check for your woes?

Just how people react though.

The main problem is that people are expecting to much. Does anybody even know how much goes into creating a super secure server, much less many of them? It's an expensive, long process.

Sony has shit tons of money and plenty of man hours to secure their servers.

A shit ton of money and a shit ton of employees to pay, parts of their company to keep moving. They aren't just video games. They are huge as all hell.

 

[D34DL1N3R]

Where is the actual text of him saying that the entire world is to blame? All I see from the interview or whatever it was is "It's a bad new world.". Where's the rest of what he said? Not that I agree or stick up for the guy, but where did he say "It's not our fault, it's the worlds.".

I guess I personally don't see the implication of blaming EVERYone from that single simple (and true) statement.

 

[TheDarkSeed]

I think he's saying that because they have no idea who is responsible for these attacks and have no plans to pursue them, which in turn will attract more hackers like moths to a flame.

One thing's for sure if they did know who it was, then they would be bombarded with massive lawyer bills and constant raids.

Who ever they are, they're turning the world against sony. And being the pompous dicks they are, sony cannot respond in a manner that doesn't make anyone angry.

Considering there was an article posted a couple weeks ago of their security being outdated and not all that secure, pretty much everything you're saying about Sony, is moot.

It's an expensive, long process? Sure, maybe. But considering this is SONY we're talking about, a multi-billion dollar company who has money coming in from tv's, music, movies, games, computers, there's no excuse as to WHY they don't have a beefed up security on any of their stuff.

 

[Rogue_Syst3m]

I always hated this guy. He's a massive dick.

I hope this attracts some more hackers.

yea good call make us pay for sony's downfall

 

[KingdomBlade]

I hope this attracts some more hackers.

me too
come on hackers!... show to sony how "bad" the world is

I am pissed at you right now. This is just total ignorance. Seriously, "I hope that hackers attack a company and ruin their reputation and steal everyone's personal information!" is what I'm hearing from this post.

If a company is under extreme pressure like this, it doesn't help that uninformed trolls keep attacking them. Just fucking give them a break already, they're already facing significant problems.

Be careful here. From what I've seen in the news, that initial report was premature and inaccurate. Sony's servers may have been up to date after all. I suggest you check this article out: http://news.techworld.com/security/3278812...eveals/?olo=rss

You can't make people think and believe like you. You think they've had enough. Others think they deserve more. I'm part of the latter. Also, calm down on the swearing, mmkay?
