It's due to Sony filing lawsuit againt some hacker.

Geohot has nothing to do with those attacks on sony. Sony just has poor security and after one attack succeeded others figured out that sony was a soft target. Like how a whale carcass brings creates a feeding frenzy of sharks.

Why are they so vulnerable to being hacked? Are they incompetent or are the hackers just unstoppable?

In general hackers are unstoppable, but the way sony set up psn made it really easy to hack, and hackers like money and being dicks, so it all works out(for the hackers).

Good to see the hacking community is still alive and kicking, I would seriously lol if this is all GeoHot fucking with Sony.

So fucking over Sony customers and stealing their money and personal data is somehow "helping the cause" and "fighting the good fight"?

Stop posting this bullshit.

It doesn't necessarily take a genius to hack a server, only tenacity. Basically you just have to find bugs/exploits in whatever software/setup they are using. If the security is bad then there will be unpatched exploits that are already publicly known, and anyone with half a brain will be able to hack in.

But an actual skilled programmer... well, if they are tenacious, then they can do amazing things.

The same could happen to almost every other company. Companies still lag wayyyy behind in the tech safety department, even tech companies.

Microsoft are cackling amongst themselves at the moment. I wonder how this will effect the sales of PS3's and other Sony products.

I agree with the other in here who are saying that it was just a matter of opportunity. It's as if:
"Hey, the Mongols were able to get through that pesky Wall those Chinese built, why don't we try it?"

Sony: "hey, your data has been stolen. someone is about to sell it for the highest bidder. its just 70 million accounts with credit cards on it. but hey, when we return you get the "welcome back kit"... free games ( old games ) and 1 month of free playstation plus"...

hahahahaha.... how lame can this be?

Wow, this is seriously crazy. I've never used Sony products so I wouldn't know, but I hope they are liable for something at least.

As shitty as this is for the ones who got affected, I think it's good that Sony gets hacked in the long run. Should be a wake up call for pretty much all companies that have lacking security measures, if Sony can get hacked so can fucking anyone.

Pretty interesting stuff, it's funny how the internet randomly chooses to retaliate against perceived injustices. As for the questions about hacking, there are skilled programmers on both sides of cyber security. Sony wasn't prepared to become a target, so until they get some talented IT specialists working on their network security they will continue to be vulnerable. I'm sure they'll stabilize, but it's a lesson to other companies that if they intend to invest in prosecuting cyber-vigilantes then they should also be prepared to invest in their security to compensate for a possible backlash.
