Playstation 3 Discussion

[JeffHCross]

It's beyond comprehension how a major company could keep their network that holds 77 million accounts offline for going on 3 weeks.

No, it's not. The only part that is really stunning about this is that they're being so uncommunicative about it. But anybody will take down any network, even ones that are actually essential, if it means the difference between secure and unsecure.

It sounds like Sony didn't have the greatest experts in charge of security for PSN:

There's really no part of that statement that's surprising to me, actually. A ton of companies think they are more secure than reality, and a ton of companies have security "experts" that turn a deaf ear to people pointing out problems. Not saying I believe it happened (more than likely the events are exaggerated, at least), but nothing about that would surprise me.
