all this is the hackers fault sony just left the door open with there security
but as far as sony is concerned its security was up to scratch as nothing like this has happened in 5-6 years of ps3 being sold
hackers took the time to break in for all we know they could of been trying for weeks to bring psn down with the breach and just didnt succeed at first
You dont know, and you never will know, the facts my friends.. As you say youreself, they may have been trying for weeks/months.. So that would mean they had hardtime hacking, and that means the security was fine..
If an hacker really want to, they can even hack the best security in the world.. But that would take much longer.
As you say yourself, we dont know how long they have been working on this.. So we cant say or the security sucked or not.
As i said, they can even bring xbox down.. And then you will get all these xbox fan boys: "im going to buy ps3 now, microsoft cant be trusted. balabla"
