I'm not much of a hacker, nor do I know much about it, but I'm sure that with enough determination anything could be hacked, no matter the security measures in place. You can absolutely be sued for being an idiot or lazy. The online translator I used translates the German law term as "due diligence". I guess Sony can be sued for saving the data and passwords in plain text. This is just lazy programming and the hours of work needed are in no way comparable to the headache the worst case scenario that happened is now producing. It perhaps also can be argued that they did not have enough security against whatever hacking occurred. [What the hackers did was of course illegal, too.] | ||

lets say theres 10million credit card #s in that which isnt unreasonable imo. even if they cant hack the cvcs (which i dont know anything about but they hacked psn so it isnt impossible) they have a ~1/333 shot at randoming correctly. so pure math says theyre going to have ~30000 working credit cards at their disposal. glad i dont have a ps3 but if i did i would cancel my cc. | ||

He lifts his command center and he loses half his scvs there..... but he has like 6 other expansions already up and running. So financially he's just a little bit slowed. Sony's empire will recover from this. | ||

It has only been what? 3 weeks since they announced that they will hit Sony hard This could really cripple a business, even one as big as Sony | ||

SOCOM 4 was a pertty big release I think, because the big allure for it is online play which no one can obviously access now. Not to mention no GT5, CoD, Killzone 3, Little Big Planet 2, etc. | ||

And if you're wondering what happens to the companies that failed to protect your data? Usually, a whole lot of nothing. Their customers are the ones left holding the short end of the stick. Just something to think about the next time a company asks you for all sorts of data that they really have no right to know. | ||
