OK, so by now we should all know about what happened with the PlayStation Network, right? How it got hacked into and every single user's personal info got stolen?
Good, because I don't want to talk about all of that here; here, I want to focus on one thing. Sony apparently thinks every one of their customers is a mindless sheep.
Here's a quote: "These illegal attacks obviously highlight the widespread problem with cybersecurity. We take the security of our consumers' information very seriously and are committed to helping our consumers protect their personal data." That was Kaz Hirai, a Sony rep who spoke at a press conference on the morning of May 2nd. Here's the thing: he said that Sony expects you to believe that they take the security of their customer's info "very seriously."
If that were true, sir, then why did you store their passwords in unencrypted servers? Why do the internet equivalent of writing down all of the passwords and post-it noting them to your computer monitor? That doesn't sound like something someone would do if they were taking security "very seriously."
Guys, I want you to know something important at this point in the discussion: I have nothing against Sony, or the Play Station brand. The PSX and PS2 were two of the best consoles in the history of gaming, IMO. They had amazing catalogs of games, including Final Fantasy VII, Legend of Dragoon, Brave Fencer Musashi, Kingdom Hearts, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, etc. But this corporate bullshitting is really pissing me off. Like, really.
Come on, Sony, what next? Are you going to take a DualShock and try to rape the asshole of all of your customers with it, then claim that "the security of their rectal area is very important" to you? Just admit you made a giant goof and move on. I'm sure that people will gladly continue to buy your products. Especially if you don't insult their intelligence first.
