If this was the first instance, then a few months would be fine. During the initial hacks four years ago, Sony was hacked no less than ten times costing them $171 million, a hack which lasted some 23 days...that's almost an entire month. The hack on Sony Pictures also lasted that long, but all this can be traced as far back as 2005 and their IT department's abysmal actions.
Sony MAKES ITSELF a target for hacking because it has lost the loyalty and trust of consumers. It does nothing to improve its image or, at the very least, fix the myriad of internal issues within the company as a whole, as well as their gaming division. If you really believe Sony significantly improved the security then I'm incredibly sorry to disappoint you. |

If that's true then what's the Pentagon's excuse for being a victim of hacking? It doesn't sound like being mitigated is good enough. Psy they did improve it, doesn't mean it's good enough. Edited by Havoc the Tenrec, Jan 24 2015, 08:44 PM.

Mitigated means the effect of the attack doesn't effect the system under duress. |

*smacks forehead* They're being hacked by amateurs using the oldest tricks in the book. You think a DDoS is serious? If they can't improve their security enough for something as simple as that, then they're clearly not even trying. I don't need to be a CS major to know that. |

If a DDoS can affect the Pentagon and other high end security systems, I don't see how it can't be considered dangerous for a company. |

Yes, a ddos will affect any system at some level, but mitigation systems like cloud flare and scalable systems will reduce the impact to end users if they're actually utilized. |

Personally I haven't felt effected from the attacks since there's other systems, and I've had higher priorities. I'm not trying to act like some kind of fanboy, but I know hacks in general aren't completely preventable and hackers are apparently still butthurt for sony's actions against them for finally being able to hack the system itself that they felt was near impossible to crack. That's all I really have to say. |

I never said preventable. I said mitigatable. Slightly different there. |

You haven't felt the attacks? Since April 2014 you haven't noticed the degrading quality of PSN for PS4 (notice I'm not pointing at PS3 and Vita here). And I'll just say it before it gets pointed out as if I'm not aware. PS3 and Vita run differently than the PS4. The PS3 doesn't show you who is online on Vita or PS4, there's a reason for that (remember the XMB system PS3 has). You may not be acting like a fanboy in your opinion, but you say shit like this:
That's all I really have to say. |

I meant in the sense that you can fortify your system enough for it to either not be as effective or to at least know when it's coming. Also the fact that something like that shouldn't shut everything down for weeks. |

Quality in terms of content? In terms of lack of demos yes. Don't know, personally I don't really care about who it shows online, so I haven't noticed, if that's true. That second part I said is actually true, I don't have to act like a fanboy to say that. And to be fair most people here seem to be more Nintendo fans to a higher extent of my preference. I own all of the basic consoles except XB1, so I have a deep love all around the board, minus early XB1 announcements. Also, on Psy 's weeks thing, there's no way for anyone here to really know what they were thinking or doing, or what reasons they had we may not even know about. Personally I wasn't even gaming those weeks. Enzan would probably have the best guess to all that. How many others on the board actually owns a ps3/4? |
