Sony can't guarantee PlayStation Network won't get hacked again

Sony knows how - but not who - hacked into its PlayStation Network last month in possibly the biggest Internet security breach in history.

And despite beefing up its system to prevent another cyberattack like the one that exposed the personal information of 100 million users, Sony can't guarantee that it won't happen again.

Who the hell could guarantee that? Anything is hackable.

fluffydelusions4746d ago

Some people aren't very computer savvy and don't understand that. They think the matrix is how hackers really are.

trounbyfire4746d ago (Edited 4746d ago )

wait are you saying the matrix isn't real <_<

Anarki4745d ago

They can monitor it very closely. That will prevent anything serious from happening.

Lich1204745d ago (Edited 4745d ago )

Yeah, making something "unhackable" is impossible for the most part. Save, pulling the plug on a computer so its offline. But that practice tends to not work so well with online service.

gumgum994745d ago

@trounbyfire

your mind makes it real. ^_^

blitz06234745d ago

Better to not guarantee than guarantee then get hacked

MaxXAttaxX4745d ago

This article was submitted by 'Loner' with the hopes of inciting something.
Sorry, nothing shocking here.

No company or government can guarantee not being hacked.
Sony did what any other company could do, which was to revamp their network security and improve on several aspects of it.

Basically, there's no story here.

@trounbyfire No Mr. Anderson i mean trounbyfire the Matrix isnt real *BOOM* *fight scene*

That's exactly what I was thinking. It's an article submitted by Loner anyway so you know it has to be stupid.

iamnsuperman4746d ago (Edited 4746d ago )

and in other news the pentagon got hacked by a autistic British guy....Seriously anything is hackable. Calling something unhackable is the same retardedness as saying the Titanic was unsinkable.

Lavitz20124746d ago (Edited 4746d ago )

Yup isn't IE right now under attack from hackers??

Edit:Here's the article.
http://www.networkworld.com...

So what does this tell you?Anything can be hacked.

ZBlacktt4746d ago

It's funny, I was the only person to bring up the Pentagon when the PSN was down. Now I see if more often, lol. :D But it's true. Anyone can get hacked.

Max_Dissatisfaction4745d ago

And a nuclear accident happened in Chernobyl so I guess that makes them ok...right?

Parapraxis4745d ago (Edited 4745d ago )

@Max_Dissatisfaction

...no it doesn't make them "okay" It means that some people have the mental capacity to understand that determinative statements such as "never hackable" or "will never fail" are only proof of shortsightedness and ignorance of odds reducing over time.

You can state that a certain outcome may be unlikely or highly improbable, however putting a guarantee on certain things would be setting ones self up for a fall.

Chupa-Chupa4746d ago

I completely agree, if someone really wants to hack you, they will. The problem is that Sony is targeted, but this can happen to any high profile company. It's the quick response that makes you look good.

metsgaming4745d ago

exactly if governments cant prevent getting hacked than companies sure cant. Article is trolling the obvious but making it look like its a PSN issue.

Max_Dissatisfaction4745d ago

Anything is hackable...thats strange, could have sworn I heard how some other console wasn't hackable some time back...oh well

M-A-R-S-H-A-L-L4745d ago

...And what does that have to do with anything?

Just to suit that anti-Sony agenda, right?

Seijoru4745d ago

The console hasn't been hacked. Just the network.

saladthieves4745d ago

Precisely my point. They can't say "Our network cannot and won't get hacked." They just can't guarantee you that. What they can say is that they will work to the best of their ability and resources to prevent/avoid or counter future hacks.

MS can't guarantee Live won't get hacked again.

That's a true statement as well.

Live has never been hacked. Live is the most secure network there is, so far.

Prove me wrong then disagree trolls. Search the net, and try and find at least one thing. Go ahead... I'll wait.

@cyclonus007 you should read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wik... (phishing) then this http://en.wikipedia.org/wik... (hacking) Don't reply you can't win this.

MaxXAttaxX4745d ago

Not the network(Live) but the system itself has definitely been hacked. Which is a big problem for them, considering the amount of hack/cheating related account and console banning they have to do.

Sony CEO says although AI "has been used for creation," it's "not a substitute for human creativity"

"AI is not a substitute for human creativity. We position it as a technology that supports creativity. Creativity resides in people. We will continue to contribute to people's creativity through technology," the CEO said.

...not yet but 100% within the next 10 years!

..Then Sony will use it like the drop of a hat. They're no different to the others.

isarai1d 19h ago (Edited 1d 19h ago )

They used to be 😞 sure it was always a business, and money's always the priority, but they used to have a very strong stance on supporting artists and creativity. "Dont f#@k with the artist" was a phrase they touted a few times back in the ps1-ps3 era, a philosophy carried over from their music branch PlayStation was created from. It's not COMPLETELY gone, but it's barely there compared to what it was back then, i just want them to return to that.

Eonjay1d ago (Edited 1d ago )

I am highly encouraged by their statement about human creativity. "Dont f#@k with the artist" is exactly what they are saying. But at the same time, I don't think people understand that Sony is a corporation. If they don't realize growth, they don't get to exist. When you say 'Sony', you are talking about a bunch of investors. To speak about them any other way is a illogical and incorrect. They haven't changed. They have been a group of investors since they became a public business.

isarai1d 12h ago

Ugh, i really wish people would stop gambling people's livelihoods by turning a project/game into their political soapbox. Im all for statements and having your own opinion, but there's more people working on this than just druckman, ham fisting your political beliefs onto just seems inconsiderate for everyone elses job security when it can result in a failure due to people avoiding it for that reason.

I play games for escape, im so tired of nearly every AAA game blatantly dragging real world issues to shove in my face when I'm trying to take a break from it all. They don't even bother to be subtle about it, quite the opposite, it's blasted and force fed to you and it's just getting exhausting

Einhander19721d 2h ago

People are taking a whole interview and cutting it down to clips that make him look bad and take what he actually was saying out of context. For example he also said things like this AI has "ethical issues we need to address"

-Foxtrot1d 2h ago

@Einhander

Why defend him at this point?

It’s not taking things out of context, he said what he said.

Old ND would never talk about soulless AI taking over so many creative things they are well known for. The whole “ethical issues” is just a good PR spin people who push this crap fall back on to make their statements not seem as bad. So many AI lovers do this.

AI has no place is so many creative based things.

Einhander19721d 2h ago

Well yeah, because everyone else is using it so they need to stay competitive. It's the same as paid online, they didn't want to go that route but their competition was making so much money they needed to add paid online just to keep up.

RaiderNation1d ago (Edited 1d ago )

AI will never replace humans in game development in terms of conceptualizing new games. Humans still need to come up with the ideas and what they want to implement. However much of the day to day menial coding could be AI driven to reduce production time and team size. I could also see AI being used for bug testing/optimization that could lead to better quality games at launch. I'm actually very optimistic about how AI can positively impact game development.

Good statement but hopefully this holds up

NotoriousWhiz1d 1h ago

People that aren't software developers just don't understand the benefits of AI. People who's only exposure to A.I is the Terminator movie and other related sci fi films won't understand the benefits it provides.

It's not about replacing human labor. It's about making human labor easier.

Many years ago, I had laser eye surgery done. It was performed by a robot. The doctor took my measurements and calibrated the machine to make sure it would do what needed be done. And then the robot corrected my vision in 10 seconds.

15 years later and I still have 20/20 vision.

Eonjay1d ago

AI in and of itself is not a 'bad'. Money is bad. Money is evil, and corporations will do whatever they can to get more of it. They will find ways to implement AI to replace as may jobs as possible. This isn't even up for debate. It is the charge of the corporation to maximize returns for the investors. They have no choice. I'm a developer and I know that my job will absolutely be replaced. Therefore, I have decided to become an AI dev. AI has a lot of potential to help us solve problem on a scale most can't even imagine. The issue, as ever is that our monetary system only ever allows us to focus on greed and fiscal growth.

But I am a pragmatist. Perhaps an AI model can be built to help protect us from our most dangerous instincts and habits. And perhaps Congress can pass laws to protect us from people who would use AI to manipulate and control us (spoiler: they wont).

RaiderNation11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

Progress is inevitable. Nobody driving cars today is complaining that the horse and buggy is no longer around. Yes, some jobs will be lost but guess what? With innovation comes new job opportunities. It's how the cycle of the job market works.

I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.

I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons

I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.

exputers30d ago

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

Profchaos29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.

It's just backwards.

just_looken29d ago

What your talking about is called block list

In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback

Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.

But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

jambola29d ago

I genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong

SegaSaturn66929d ago

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Popsicle29d ago

Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.
