When hosting a server farm that has access from the outside in on the internet to offer up a service, one must spend their days being paranoid. They did not. I hope they fired the technical leaders (Be them VP's, managers directors, etc) cause they are less an adequate.[/citation]
Don't make it sound like (1) companies can avoid getting hacked and (2) that every company has information paramount to what you see present in financial institutions. Your idea of someone "being paranoid everyday" would just have instant appeal to anyone obviously; "hey want a 100% stressful day where you're afraid of everything!". Yes I can see the appeal of that.
No company is going to get the type of team or security measures in place that has a pretty good defense unless its a pretty high, up~there financial institution and even then it'd be easy to at least attack it to investigate for further vulnerabilities and rip out some info.
People want to keep pirating games and bit**ing they can't, really whatever, just stoping your whining about Sony. When my friend was a developer his basic feeling was "I created some content and yea its feels shitty people just wanting it for free". Individuals who keep complaining about "oh when the other OS was around sh*t was fine" seem to ignore how much sh*t was and still is being pirated for the PS3.
At this stage, if Sony wanted to pay for all of these enhancements, guess they should just charge a monthly fee and follow the XBox 360 because all of this sh*t with Anon, players and other developers being attacked is getting out of hand and ridiculous at this stage.
