SONY gets hacked....again!!

imo the good thing about this is its calling a LOT of attention to security (and the false sense of it that we have). hopefully companies and organizations will beef up and check their security systems. as "Bad" as this stuff is, its nothing to what it could be.

of course companies that focus on security products and anti hacking technology are probably having a total field day right now (anyone in the industry??? Is business sky rocketing with all these recent hacks??)

Heh, I don't. I mean, I do feel bad for the poor schmucks who had their info compromised. But Sony themselves are getting exactly what they deserve for not taking fairly basic measures to secure the data.

such a horrible argument.

If I leave the doors to my house open while I'm away, I don't expect good things to have happened when I get back.

shame you live in such a shitty neighborhood filled with shitty, shitty people. :\

Sure, if you're a known criminal (hi2u free rootkits in all of our music CDs) you deserve to get what's coming.

criminal?

because there's no such thing as "hack proof"

in 2008 the PENTAGON was hacked..

if the Pentagon, which probably uses encryption not even available to the public, can get hacked.. what's to prevent other sites and companies from getting hacked.?

That's not fair; how can the Pentagon reasonably be expected to prepare for the alien technology of the Decepticons?

Not any more than normal. Sadly many/most folks that work in IT security departments are completely clueless. A lot of places will do routine audit/scans but those wouldn't pick up a SQL injection - that's all programming and input checks.

Nah, you're the fool based on your retarded signature.

Sure there is - don't connect to the internet and you can't be hacked :biggrin:

Iran's uranium centrifuges weren't attached to the internet.
