Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but you're saying that their security has improved tremendously. Because they are down.

For years to come this will be THE computer security textbook case covered in universities describing how not to operate. Every aspect has been mishandled. And this is a major global brand name. Sony failed to follow elementary security BKMs and allowed the breakin to happen. They behaved arrogantly toward the security researcher community (guys, no matter what you may think of them, this is never a good approach! Smarter companies work with the researchers that find vulnerabilities and test exploits to mitigate them quietly. Sony invited this by taking the opposite approach. And this is the result!). Sony did not protect their customers' data. They failed to disclose the breakin for a week. Their CEO drew an analogy with having your house burglarized then checking to see if anything was taken to see if it was necessary to call the police. Huh? Helloooooo.... Hello, hello? Is anyone home? If your house is burglarized call the police (and your neighbors!) immediately. You don't need to wait around while the crooks are running free nearby. Worry about other potential victims! Duh! And of course, Sony took a week to figure out that, yes, stuff was stolen. Not exactly rapid response. Now they literally can't get it up. Nor can they determine exactly what all was stolen precisely. Let's see... anything else that they could have done wrong? Oh, yes... the followed all of this up by skillfully pulling a PR disaster when that CEO used that stupid burglary analogy then tried to somewhat cover himself with a general statement that nobody can protect customer data anymore. Whether there is truth in that or not is irrelevant. The point is that this is their public relations position to make everyone feel somewhat more confident in Sony?! "We're lousy, but no one else is any good either... as far as we know... and we know a whole lot about security...". Somebody's head will probably roll (wonder whose?). But this will still go down as THE classic example of how to mishandle computer security at every possible juncture. A friend of mine in computer security told me this morning that Sony PS3 used to be great. He bought his in college because you could use it as a computer/MFD and install your own OS on it along with playing games, etc. But over time Sony took away those nice capabilities. Now he wishes he never bought one. Overall it looks like Sony is managing to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory in the most moronic ways imagineable. I'm not a Sony or PS3 hater. I just bought one. I want them to suceed. But for crying out loud don't you guys ever learn anything??? Sad!!!
