PSN more secure than Whats app accoring to anti terrorist expert.

'The hunt for those responsible (eight terrorists were killed Saturday night, but accomplices may still be at large) led to a number of raids in nearby Brussels. Belgian federal home affairs minister Jan Jambon has said outright that the PS4 is used by ISIS agents to communicate, and was selected due to the fact that it’s notoriously hard to monitor. “PlayStation 4 is even more difficult to keep track of than WhatsApp,” he said.'

I stress though, that SONY is not to blame for this in my view.

Did you get a cramp reaching that far?

Why would i ? If it's being used as a communication device by terrorists it stands to reason that some Ps4's where bought for that purpose right?

Yes it's an assumption as to HOW MANY they are buying, hence why i used the word 'COULD' but i think it's pretty Obvious that they ARE buying them specifically for the purpose of secure communications.

But thats not what i want people to take away from this thread, Did you read the OP title?

the fact that it's more secure than Whats App was the main point i took away from it, Shows SONY's security is getting better in my view.

Dude, i had to make it system wars worthy OK?

B/c that's ludicrous.

wow

What about games?

Read my reply to the other guy then actually get the OP title in perspective eh?

Like i said, had to make it system wars worthy but it's not the main point i want people to think about.

PSN being more secure than Whats app is where i really want this to go but out of the Whole OP you numptys had to focus on one tiny sentence.

Saying that, how is it ludicrous? we don't know how many Ps4's IS have bought for secure communication, it could be just 10 or it could be 10,000, we don't know so lets not speculate but it's far from ludicrous, it's actually quite plausible.

Wow dude...seriously. First of all, that would explain the sales? I mean, seriously?

Secondly, this has already been debunked as miss reported. It's not true they used PS4s

Whatever happen to the old days when people actually talked about games in here? You'll go from talking about sales to this, especially after what has happened in Paris? Smh.

@ChuteboxRead the whole thread, i threw that in there to make it system wars early which is why my OP title has nothing to do with sales:

For the record, i believe PS4 is killing the Xbone because of offline gamers but thats just a different story.

Also, where was it debunked because CNBC reported this 8 hours ago?

FFS, stop posting this shit

More interested in the online security aspect actually, this is a clear sign that SONY's online security Encryption is getting better if Terrorists feel it's the best game in town for secure communications you don't want the government intelligence services to see.

Wow...

Changed my OP, only put the sales thig in there to make it SW worthy.

Anyway, do you actually have an opinion on PSN being more secure than whats app?

LMAO that was hilarious. Hey all's fair in SW I guess. Cows said 360 sales were artificially inflated by RROD. As if a person couldn't choose a PS3 after their console died.

I added a link to my post.

I personally think the PS4 is beating the Xbone because of offline gamers, as an offline gamer myself i am not happy with the direction Microsoft appears to be pushing the industry, Online only campaigns and online only games.

SONY, at the moment, Appears to still be supporting the good old fashioned offline gamer especially witht eh indie titles they have on offer.

Hey, what can i say, i am old, i find the phrase '100% reliable internet connection' complete bollocks.

You can't teach an old DOG/GAMER new tricks i guess.

thank god for that, now we can throw the terrorist angle out and focus on the fact that an expert claimed the PS4 is more secure than whats app.

I think thats a good sign that SONY's security is getting better which is a good thing for gamers especially users of PSN who can now feel more secure putting there details on PSN.

Question is, has SONY caught up with Microsoft in online security, maybe, maybe not but one thing is sure and that is that SONY is not sitting on there laurels when it comes to the online security of PSN users

@delta3074: I hear ya. I think after the financial failure that the X1 will be there will be a place for offline for the forseeable future. I just like the network, and games a bit more. Having FF7 remake or most JRPGs for that matter means absolutely jack squat to me as a gamer. I'd rather rake the neighbor's yard than play Tales of Zestria and the like. Next year I have Uncharte4, Horizon, and like 2 other games that I cant even recall that I have my eye on PS4 wise. QB, Scalebound, Crackdown 3 hopefully Recore, not sure on that and Gears 4 are rounding out my X1 list.

One can hope.

I am having a miserable gen, have not even bought a next gen console yet because firstly , i cannot decide and secondly all the games i am really looking forward to are multiplat like witcher 3, Battlefront, Fallout 4 and WH40k Deathwing.

I am enjoying phantom pain on the 360 though but i have barely anyt5hing to play at the moment.

I may get tomb raider for christmas but after that my 360 is officially dead so i need to get off the fence sharpish i guess.

Online security has become a key point though because, as you probably know, my government is about to introduce a 'snoopers charter' for online, i have nothing to hide and i do nothing wrong but i don't like the thought of the government knowing my every move and everything i say online

PS4 wins again.

Yeah because X1 is more secure using Kinect.

@delta3074: It sucks, the world we live in. But I always figured it would happen. We Americans sometimes say the quote about if the government is no longer functioning as we wish it is our duty to tear it down and build again. But the fact is, the powers that be do not want to let go. And I don't mean elected officials because they aren't in charge. My networking professor carries no cell phone and refuses to turn his computer on unless he has a task to do with it. He doesn't surf the net or any social media. His buddy in a Port Authority Cop and told him a story of getting a call about a woman on the Jersey turnpike who was suicidal. The troopers called her phone, tried to get through to her. She turned it off. Within 60 seconds they turned her phone on and made it a radio for them to talk to her whether sh picked it up or not.

George Orwell's 1984 happened and we love it because we love our tech.

So, the big lie here is that there was no PS4 in the apartment, BUT Jan Jambon still made those statements. Either way, I'm sure people were aware.

Good trolling Delta.

It's ludicrous because even 10,000 would be 0.04% of the PS4's total sales, so no, it wouldn't explain the PS4's high sales.

Lol have you edited the OP to take that bit out too?

I am getting tired of locking threads on this news report/topic. This is my sixth one total, and honestly, I am disgusted. I did not think I would need to lock any, or maybe any beyond the first one, because I thought even a place like System Wars would be able to exhibit some tact and display some sensitivity.

Clearly I was wrong.
