It seems that most ppl are concerned about whether or not our credit card info. was lost or not,while that is important it’s only money.I’m much more worried that the hackers now know where i live and can sell that info. to ANYBODY.It’s certain that info. was gotten and if any1 gave their real address to sony then the hackers have it as well.Wish i woulda gave them 123 Lollipop Lane as my address but sadly i did not.As for blame it seems there’s enough for every1 involved in this mess,Sony’s shoddy security,the hackers who infiltrated the network,and ourselves for trusting others to value our info. as much as we do.We can play the blame game after we know all the facts,right now i just wanna play multi-player zombies on Call Of Duty and get back on home.

Well now, wait a minute.

First, whoever hacked the system I have nothing but distain for.

On the other hand, if (and it is an if) Sony had insufficient protection against attacks, then some part of it may be their fault.
When the bank closes in Redemption City, they’re supposed to lock the door to the bank and the safe.

The amount and quality of security does matter.

I am in sympathy with Sony.

Hopefully Sony and others will learn something from this experience.

Anyone that hacked should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Thanks NorseGamer for sharing your thoughts with us.
I also agree with keara.

The outage is indeed a real issue for Sony and I can only send them encouragement and sympathy in resolving the problem.
We can all understand people getting aggravated for having their patience put to the test.
But, let’s keep in mind that this is all for our best.
Let’s just “hang on”!

As I mentionned in an earlier post; any company, no matter how big it is, can be a target for web pirates and hackers.

More attacks will unfortunately be commited on more and more worlwide majors in the near future as seems to be the new trend these days…

I trust Sony to be doing what it takes to efficiently re-enforce its security infrastructure.
But this takes a lot of time and testing to put that successfully in place.

I am glad to see this memo and Norse’s sentiments in this matter match mine. Some of the comments made by those who will use any excuse to criticize Home have been so vicious, I wonder why they were in here at all. It reminds me of the time a flight is delayed at the gate due to a bomb threat on board and then some passengers wanted to hold the airline responsible.

Sony deserves our support and sympathy at a time like this. In this era of malicious intent, no company can possibly anticipate every possible attack a determined terrorist can do.
