Playstation h4ck3d!!! -Again

It's almost two weeks since Sony was hacked and perhaps millions of peoples information was leaked. Now Sony is hacked again.

It wasn't until this weekend that Sony held a press conference and apoligized for the security breach.
Kazuo Hirai said that it is not clear if the users credit card information is endangered but as much as ten million players credit cards may be in danger. He also said that they are rebuilding Playstation 3's securitysystem with more firewalls, better and faster ways to encrypt data and discover hackerattacks.

At monday, we got to know that Sony had been hacked again, this time Sony Online Entertainment was the target. Station.com was shut down and up to 24 million users can be affected.
Sony says that the hackers managed to lay their hands on old databases from 2007 where almost 13 000 users credit card information was stored. These accounts are from Holland, Germany, Austria and Spain, at this moment it's unsure if the main database is affected.

As a bribe, Sony is gifting "special selected content" which can be downloaded for free. Also a free month of Playstation Plus will be awarded.

    I would never say it Sony made it easy, obviously these hackers are extremely intelligent and experienced at what they do. These are the people big corporations should be hiring, then they could be more secure.
