Article: Sony says "Anonymous" set stage for data theft

[shipwreck]

I agree but so are the customers that had data stolen which is a bad thing.

That is indeed unfortunate, but can't be avoided I'm afraid. Thing is, Sony have been waging a war on their customers for years, there probably is no other company that has such a deep distrust in their customers as they do. So why should they deserve your trust either?

If anything, this sloppy way of handling sensible data just proves once again how low the standing of their customers is, no appreciation whatsoever.

The only way large companies like that change their ways is through losing customers and hence money. The 'collateral damage' is unfortunate, but it will be to the benefit of all in the long run. That's if Sony learn from this. If not, they'll become irrelevant.

Here is a shortened version for the non-technical, porn watchers among us:

Sony got their backdoor lubed up by Anonymous. At the same time, while Sony was laughing about how "ineffective, and that the lube was just a nuisance", another hacker group slid a GIANT cock up their asses.

Now Sony is crying that Anonymous lubed up their ass, enabling the GIANT cock to slide in and FUCK them REALLY hard.

Sony got fucked so hard, in fact, that the damages may leave them crippled for life.

wow this is so fucking pathetic! i find it hilarious how much they are painting themselves as the hapless victim here.
they really should have a third party investigation. i dont believe half the shit responses sony gives. i cant trust them and i think most of their responses are just bs to cover their own asses.

@megabyteme
I love that explanation lol

in protest of Sony defending itself against a hacker in federal court in San Francisco

Isn't that backwards, wasn't the "hacker" the defendant in San Francisco, while Sony was the aggressive and mal-intentioned plaintiff?

I agree. I did a double take when I read that the first time.

Wouldn't it have been worse without the lube then? Because that's exactly what I thought. "Sony increased it's protection because of the DDoS, allowing them to get hacked... wait, what?"
