It's not me Sony, it's you.According to a report by the International Business Times, Sony's extensive new PlayStation Network security features, implemented only days ago, have been turned against them: The ailing company has been hacked yet again.
ARRRRGH! |
PSN: Please Sony, NO! |
Sony says that users who changed their passwords already will not be affected by the latest attack on the company. However, users who have not yet signed back into PSN after its nearly month-long downtime will be unable to access the PlayStation 3's online features until Sony sorts out their newest woes.
PlayStation Network remains online for the time being.
Yesterday, tech guru and Best Buy Geek Squad agent Mike Quinn described Sony's pre-hack security to me as the equivalent of leaving one's car doors open, with the car running and the sunroof down. It seems that Sony's post-hack situation isn't much different.
This latest debacle just might be the last straw for me and Sony's big Blu box. As much as I despise the controller, I might just have to make Xbox 360 my system of choice for a while. Or better yet, I could just play through SNES Earthbound again while this whole thing blows over.
You can keep the car, house and the kids Sony. But I'm taking the Nintendo and you can't stop me.
And Silent Hill; I'm gonna take that too. |
I have too much fun with PS3 games to leave 'em. And Nintendo games. And 360 games.
ReplyDeletePlease be more careful, Sony. Yes, my love is unconditional, but try not to toy with me.
Also, as a Comp. Sci. graduate, the idea of rebuilding security from the ground up with such a short window of testing sounds terrifying.
