So glad I moved to Xbox 360 and know that details are much more secure with Microsoft compared to Sony. I don't think I can trust them now hearing all this going on.
May even think to completely deactivate my PSN permanently.
There's another side to that penny though. I'd be inclined to argue that if your details aren't secure with Sony then they aren't secure anywhere.
Nah, Exports are coming to similar conclusions on this.
In some way or very much related Sony Relied heavily on their key code on the PS3 and to some degree used that with their access to the network. Sony has had failed access attempts in the past and these have been unsuccessful. It has only been since this "master key" on their console has been unlocked that there has been a successful attack on their network.
From what I have read on the net, Sony has put heavy reliance on a feature of their system which has always been at risk if something was known (possible this master key of the consoles) as well as that system being similar to what they had on SEO platforms before their console network became anything of anything.
While secure in the focused sense it was this only method and not other multi level security methods most large systems (Xbox especially) apply.
This has caused them to take down the system and it is taking so long to rebuild this from the ground up.
You will likely find that the same form of exploit was applied to the SEO network which I bet has not had its framework updated in a very long time.
Sony and online have always been playing catchup. They not quite ever "Got it"
I would not be surprised at all that to catch up in terms of features of their online network with Xbox Live they may have cut corners.
