I don't understand. Is someone holding the PSN hostage with the assurance that Sony will never see it again if they tell anyone else about what's going on? Because that's the only way I can imagine that PSN being taken down by Sony with no word as to why or for how long wouldn't be Sony's fault.DMeisterJ said:

Military grade security is such a fluff term. Also this may have been a precautionary shutdown more than anything. Just because Microsoft is not saying they have issues does no mean they aren't having issues. A lot of companies have security problems and they let them slide or under assume how much damage was done.Morn said:

That they're rebuilding the network after a hack? What happened? How severe was the hack? How long is it going to be down? What is their plan to appease customers who are upset that a key feature of their expensive piece of hardware isn't working?Massa said:
You can have a virus on your computer and still login what is your point. Networks get compromised all the time and people never know. Just because you can login into XBL does not mean your CC info hasn't been stolen etc.Morn said:
No but Sony is ultimately responsible for the security of their network and when its compromised at the worst level possible and affects game sales... they have to bear that weight as well.DMeisterJ said:
I'd say stocks crashing would be fairly satisfying.slider said:

We still don't know the extent of the compromise. That is bad PR sorry. Stop defending their horrible PR. They must know the extent of the compromise if they are building better defenses. If not, thats like adding a security system and not knowing how the last robber got in. I can put a motion detector in a room but if its the wrong room who cares.Massa said:

And that's fine. Whether I come across as such or not, I assure you that I'm not part of the angry mob who's screaming for the blood of Sony executives to appease me for this outrage. I'm not laughing or advocating that people jump ship, as I really don't have anything invested in corporate allegiances.Massa said:
