PlayStation Network was open target for hackers, claims security expert

The PlayStation Network was an open target for hackers, if evidence brought up by security experts is to be believed. Dr. Gene Spafford, a professor of computer science at Perdue University,

Well Sony should have known that with all the BS they had to go through with Geohot they should have expected a backlash. Im surprised they didn't increase the security during that time.

FishCake,

The move to the new building (with presumably new equipment too) was already underway before this breach. So I think they were taking at least some measures. But I don't think it's reasonable to expect them to have tightened up security so quickly. Doing it now that the network is down and they have all hands on deck has taken over 2 weeks.

Why wouldn't they just be like "Hey. The hackers hate us. Let's just encrypt everything to be on the safe side. So even if our obviously infallible security .. falls, we'd be safe."

When wll this end and psn can get back to normal. These hackers really screwed us gamers over and really taught sony a lesson. I just don't get it. Get well soon PSN!.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5841d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905841d ago (Edited 5841d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5841d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5841d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495841d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5840d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5841d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
