Sony chief information officer, Shinji Hasejima gave us some hard to believe info in the Tokyo press conference such as the company being fully aware of the "vulnerabilities" in PlayStation Network.

In the interview, Hasejima stated:

The vulnerability of the network was a known vulnerability, one known of in the world. But Sony was not aware of it... was not convinced of it. We are now trying to improve aspects of it."

“We thought we had taken enough management and control measures (to ensure the network was secure), but looking back, there might have been room for further enhancement,” Shiro Kambe added, “We have to admit we were not fully sufficient.”


That's disturbing to hear in my opinion. If you're a big company like Sony, you CAN'T gamble with your security and just be satisfied with it, only to later realize their could've been room for improvement.

True, gambling with people's credit cards is serious business.

No security system is 100% secure. It happens. Get over it.

My RIG is red. It's red.
Well, honestly, what can you expect from a FREE service? Something like this was bound to happen sooner or later and it finally caught up with Sony. If I were guessing, I'd say that the days of free PSN service are likely numbered... in other words, the asteroid is on its way. Smile

Still, I can't say that would no longer trust Sony's PSN once it is finally back up and running. I would imagine that security on there would be a million times better than what it was... which will cost, guess who? Us!
