Outdated server software may have caused outage Allowing PSN hackers to enter PlayStation Network stealing more than 100 million user data sets from PSN and SOE. Since the allegation itself isn't exactly new, correct, there are new proofs that this rumor is.

Report even claims that Sony lies when it comes to the statement of outdated servers. Computer Bild got an excerpt showing log files that proof that Sony was, as of the hacking attack, using very outdated server software, searchable as OpenSSH 4.4 - current version is 5.7. Back in 2006 there were reports about OpenSSH 3.x and 4.x, and the security issues those versions utilize.

But SSH was not the only open door for hackers: Sony used to outdated version of the Apache webserver as well. Apache server was found on Sony's current version is 2.2.10 while 2.2.17. Sun Sony made it easy for hackers to access sensitive data since summer 2009 as there were bug reports about "dangerous security issues" Mentioned in the version, as Hamburger Press states.

Guido Alt, spokesman for Sony Germany, told Computer Bild that he was not handed any information about Sony using old server software. But since Anonymous' log files show log-ons to Sony-servers, Sony could seriously be in trouble. Although those logs would not be valid evidence in a court unless Sony approve them, community pressure will become a serious topic to Sony. At least for now, they have to tell the truth - now where logs are handed around the press.

c/p so dont flame about it plz

Yeah and if you don't care and SONY haven't still upgraded, What's Stopping another Hacker coming along and hacking into PSN again? This Is a very helpful post and shows us what was MAYBE the biggest cause of the Intrusion

Indeed man if they still use that then whe are still not safe. But in Japan it is still not up so why is that?? Its still really vulnerable thats why they dont approof it to go online there i think.

Umm nope if you are an idiot and leave your keys in the car you can't report a theft, try that with an insurance company. Sony is to blame by the half assed work. If we didn't have hackers poking and prodding around then we wouldn't be as advanced as we are right now. That is how stuff works, and honestly that just means Soy hasn't touched their servers since PSN started really. Screw them glad it happened and could care less about PSN of Sony really.

Sony = FAIL
