In a recent letter to the Congress, Sony stated the changes and improvements they've made after the huge, historic breach. Sony said that they heightened security through newly added firewalls, making policy changes and increasing the "monitoring of its PlayStation and Qriocity systems." However, their efforts may be insufficient.

Sony's very own Kazuo Hirai mentioned, "no security system is absolutely foolproof, and changing conditions in the future can make a currently secure environment less secure. These gaps in what we know are not for lack of trying by experts, but rather an unfortunate testament to the skill of those who perpetrated the attacks. Some aspects of the intrusion may never be known." All I dug up from that was a nice, filled to the top can of uncertainty. Hirai said that changing things up can make a "currently secure environment less secure." -- quiet comedic, seeing as how their secure system was breached. Such statements lacking confidence makes us PlayStation users a bit uneasy. I mean, a huge tech giant implying that their systems will never be truly and fully secured is shocking. Well, at least Kazuo Hirai is being honest; after all, we all make mistakes no matter the degree.

Kinda old news, when it came back online Sony had said there is about 90% chance it will not get hacked again.

To and fro the island.
Let's be fair, now, 420. I actually appreciate the way Hirai was pragmatic and truthful to us gamers. For anyone, for any console or any device for that matter, to go up there and say that their new system is 100% secure is absolute nonsense. Such a system does not exist. Hackers are people who find ways to penetrate a secure system, and therefore make it insecure. As technology and security systems evolve, so do hackers.

Hirai isn't trying to hide things at this point. He's being honest, and letting us know what we should already know: It could happen again. Although I'm by no means happy that it could happen again, it shouldn't shed bad light on Sony, as though they're incompetent, but it should shed them in good light: They're not playing the "On a need to know basis" game anymore. They're telling us things how they are.

I myself do not believe any company could ever completely confirm security of an internet service,
