A Couple Of PSN Updates

First and foremost, here's a great video on why Anonymous didn't cause the PSN outage. And I personally agree with him. Simply put, there are no lulz on the PSN outage, the only thing there was boredom, and criminal activity.


Second, the PSN Store is back online in Asia, and America! Except in a couple of regions though.

Third and last, Hacker turned security consultant Gregory Evans thinks that Sony's efforts to resecure its networks don't go far enough, and until Sony - and plenty of other companies too - start hiring the right people, it's systems won't be safe from hackers.

Evans - who spent two years in jail for hacking a number of major companies in the ninties, and was forced to pay nearly $10 million in damages - thought that too many company are relying on undertrained IT staff for network security. What companies should be doing, he said, was hiring actual hackers to test a system's security, as they were a cut above the IT professionals that corporations currently employed.
