Efter endnu et Sony-website blev hacked i går (eller påstået hacked), har den tidligere hacker, Gregory Evans, advaret folk imod at tro, at Sony og PlayStation Network er “sikkert”. Overfor IndustryGamers, fortæller Evans, at det er en illusion at tro, at noget kan være helt sikkert. Han påpeger også, at mange af de såkaldte sikkerhedseksperter som større firmaer har sat til at passe på deres informationer, slet ikke er opgaven voksen.

Most big corporations have what’s called an annual security audit and they go out and hire outside security companies. But they’re nothing but a bunch of IT managers who went out and got a bunch of certifications and now they come in to see if your system is truly hacker proof. These IT managers who take the test to become a certified computer hacker or a CISSP (Certified Information System Security Professional) have to work in a lab and hack into a system that’s in a controlled environment. The problem is that a true computer hacker will hack into a system where the other person doesn’t know that they’re being hacked into. It’s not a controlled environment. So why isn’t Sony hiring hackers to see if their system is hacker proof? People who wonder why Sony has been hacked multiple times; it’s because they’re relying on the wrong people to secure their system.
