If it happens once then ok, shape up, inform the consumers about it in a timely manner (which they didn't do the first time the psn was breached) and step up the security, not letting it happen again, especially in less then two weeks...
Ya, psn is a free service, so it's also one of the selling points of the ps3 over the xbox 360. They do make money off the digital downloads, shouldn't they have a bit more respect for their consumers and try protecting their consumers privacy?
What they lost so far is people's trust.. but damage wise, the credit cards company are the ones losing money... I don't know, it just feels like they have nothign to lose, so they'll continue doing what they've always been doing... Like I said, I'm not sure a lawsuit is the right wway, but shouldn't there be SOME consequences?
Sure credit cars are covered with fraud insurance, but you still have to deal with very thing yourself (Being aware that you're at risk and constantly checking if there's unauthorized purchases on your account, contacting the credit card company, signing a waver or whatever else you have to do to get it all sorted etc), I'm sure the bank handles all that if they do get robbed.[/QUOTE]
You also pay the bank a monthly service fee for all that.
Either way, I like how everyone assumes Sony had minimal security for their network. Even though the PSN has been up for almost 6 years before this happened. If it was that easy to hack, it would have been done on day one.
Obviously SOE had the same security as the PSN and they shut it down to fix that as well. So its not really making the same mistake over and over again. It is one problem. It's not like they arn't fixing the problem. They didn't just dismiss it and say, well, lets hope that doesn't happen again, or we might have to FIX it.
However, if the PSN gets hacked again, you can make that claim.
I guess I'm just a little more forgiving and understanding. It's not like Sony isn't trying to right things now. But I guess you're right, the only option is to sue the hell out of them. How much money was stolen off YOU'RE credit card anyway?
