PSN outage: My thoughts
by splinter_girl88 on Comments
I'm sure most of you know about PSN having been hacked by now. If not, here's a link. Anyway, I just have to say this somewhere; So yeah, everyone's scared that their credit card info might have been stolen and about identity theft etc, which I understand. I am one of them after all (as if I didn't get to worry enough when I was worrying about if I had important info stored on my laptop that was stolen a few weeks ago, which I still don't know). And some are saying they'll switch to 360, and that Sony should have better security and all that... but in my opinion, Sony might have had the exact same level of security as MS... but Sony pissed off hackers all over the world with this whole deal about that geohot dude, or whatever his "name" was. So what happens is, hackers all over the world starts trying to hack PSN to make things bad for Sony, and when an "army" of hackers all over the world starts hacking the same system, one of them is bound to eventually succeed. What I'm trying to say is, this intrusion happened too soon after the geohot thing to be a coincidence, and I'm sure this could have happened just as easily to MS if they had pissed off the right, or should I say wrong(?) people. Nothing is unhackable. I'm not saying people shouldn't be taking any necessary steps to prevent identity theft and changing credit card info etc, because I think that is exactly what you should be doing. I know I will be going to my bank tomorrow to ask them to give me a new card. But hopefully this was just hackers saying "this is what we can do when you piss us off! Don't **** with hackers". I really hope so at least. --- Just so you know, I'm not claiming to know that this is how it is or anything and I'm not interested in discussions about my thoughts on the matter, as I have much more important things than discussing this to worry about right now. Who knows, I may be wrong, I may have some facts wrong, you might not agree... but I just needed to get my thoughts out somewhere, and well, this is the only place I could think of :P
