If PSN gets hacked after all this upgrading and server switches then sonys got a serious problem. As for the hackers just flooding sony related websites with ddos attacks they arent gonna "end" sony.

Sony hasn't been sitting down doing nothing these past few weeks. It'll be interesting to see if hackers can break through a proper a defense.

Not just gamers, but developers/publishers too.

anyone who has any kind of connection/relationship with a sony product is affected.

these include ps3/psp gamers, devs/pubs, stockholders, emloyer, employees, business partners, etc.

these hackers are damaging sony as a brand. i don't think they're specifically targetting

them as a playstation manufacturer, but more as a company.

At the end of the day, this costs us gamers. The intial hack costs gamers weeks of online gaming, access to DLC for games, access to the PSN store, confidential information breached and the list goes on.

And do you think PSN will be free whenever the PS4 comes out? Not a chance if sony has to spend millions defending hacking attacks.

Say what you want, but I kind of liked not having to pay for online gaming, regardless if it is inferior to XBOX live.

Yeah, seems like the "smart hackers" wouldn't be so arrogant as to threaten attacks. One would think they would just do their thing, revel in the immediate aftermath, then claim responsibility at a later date while the dust is still settling. In the meantime, the rest of us get screwed by default :(

They deserved to be hacked the first time with their horrible security and not even having in place what they are supposed to to protect credit card information. After fixing problems for a month they better have some decent security in place, if not they could have just brought the system back up in a day or two.

Google Secruity

Sony

"In order to process credit cards, every company needs to be PCI compliant. "If you are a merchant that accepts payment cards, you are required to be compliant with the PCI Data Security Standard" [4]. Since Sony's network was "unpatched and had no firewall installed" [5], that is a clear violation of the PCI standards and ongoing reviews [4], thus likely to be criminal negligence [see Further Reading]. More importantly, "I can't think of a major data breach where the company was PCI compliant," said Ira Rothken, the lead attorney handling the c1ass action lawsuit"

"Sony's response to the U.S. Senate [8] is to request more laws and further the myth of "best practices." Since Sony was warned of security holes months in advance [5], one of those "best practices" would be to accept the advice of the experts. In Sony's passing the blame there is no justification for the collection and retention of personal information they didn't need."

I agree. The first time they got hacked was a "teach you a lesson" thing. Now the hackers are just being douches. The whole idea behind the attacks was to make Sony remember we're not just giant wallets walking around. We're people. Now the hackers are screwing it up for the people they were doing this whole thing for.

Well I'm hoping that Sony has the measures in place to prevent this from happening. It's sad really. I would love to see these hackers get caught. I really would. They seem to have too much power. Cyber terrorism. Well I believe in karma so it'll come back to them :)

#@$% Hackers... Are they that sour about their lack of a social life, that they have to essentially "bully" everyone? A-holes... I can't stand people that get joy out of doing things just to be malicious

Not just gamers, but developers/publishers too.

Indeed... this last debacle cost Sony somewhere in the area of $170 million... plus the confidence of a whole lot of people... we may never know the negative monetary effect that was (and still is) being felt by developers and publishers too...

But that brings up the question. How can developers lose "thousands, if not millions of dollars" (Capcom) in revenue from a mere outage? I just hope this doesn't become another Duke Nukem Forever...

Literally. Don't these idiots know that Sony has the FBI and Homeland Security on their side? Why hack Sony? They're are other bigger problems in this world to go after, but just only hack Sony just because they sued a lowlife hacker? They need to get a life. Seriously.
