The difference though, is that the consumer can't really impact what security that is going to be used. There always will be hackers, something you have to take in regard. Sure, the hacker is ultimately the one at fault, but the company is still the major problem. You can't get away from hackers, that's just how the world is like now. So when storing information like this you are responsible for it, and therefor, should at least have a decent level of security to protect it. Sure, shit happens. But from the looks of it, they had next to no security to protect the information. Therefor, the ones at fault here is the company. ____________________ Luna won't you cry for me, I'm as lonely as I've ever been.

I feel that, when you trust a company and give it information about yourself, included in that trust is a nonverbal promise that they will keep it safe. When that promise is broken, especially so easily, I feel that people have a right to be mad.
I guess an analogy would be if you gave a game to a friend, and then his backpack got stolen because he wasn't watching it closely. Sure, had the thief not stolen it, your game would be safe and sound. However, when you loaned it to your friend, there was a nonverbal agreement that he would keep it safe. His lax protection of your game is almost as bad as the thief stealing it. ____________________ |

| Well ... Sony Europe has been hacked now
150 accounts compromised. Not nearly as severe, but terrible nonetheless. I wonder who's in charge of their security. :specialed:

| Well, I don't have any accounts with Sony at all, so this doesn't worry me.
But they seriously should rethink their security measures (if any). |

Originally posted by FieryIce Well, the way I see it is this, if they want to stay in the VG business for the next 4 years and try to out do Nintendo and Microsoft. They highly need to reconsider alot of stuff where the customer is concerned, fucked up price repairs, security screw ups, and trying not to make the customer angry over the phone, wether it was their fault or yours. I like sony to extent where I will buy some games they bring out during the year, however my nerves are wearing out against them because they can't do simple shit correctly. Even Nintendo with their strict policys on certain stuff you can't do to your wii or ds, will be more than happy to help you if you broke your console, and are willing to pay for repairs they see fit. Nintendo sometimes doesn't even bother to ask how it got broke, the only thing they understand is you pay for minor repair costs and we will help you. Nintendo and MS will either tell me to take it to repair shop if they feel the damages aren't serious enough with a email sent to the store. ____________________  |

Originally posted by Mike IIRC, sony don't develop their own games. Not to mention they are not a gaming company first most, it's just a division they had since Nintendo gave them the finger back with that joint project. ____________________ Luna won't you cry for me, I'm as lonely as I've ever been.

| Yes, I already knew that part since 1993 since I was a teen, but lets face it, sony wants to be a big game maker.
So they are fucking with nintendo non-stop to the point it's not even laughable anymore. At any given point during the next six months, who do you think is going to end up in the poor house ? Quanity (sony 1994) vs Quality (nintendo since 1969) ? ____________________ |

). Because I'd be super pissed off at Sony by this point and would seriously consider permanently off-lining my console.
