Today’s post will concentrate on Sony’s response to the possible data breach in its Play Station Network. WTOP.com reports that Sony states that data obtained from credit cards are encrypted. Past accounts state that the data was not encrypted. Sony on their Wednesday web blog quoted there is no evidence that the data was stolen. They also are unaware of the strength of the encryption. Sony further proclaimed that it has plans to move its network infrastructure (possibly to an undisclosed location). The Play Station network has been shut down since last Wednesday. Sony is banking on its network to be secure and back online by next Tuesday. Microsoft’s response was that its X Box was just as prone to being compromised. Microsoft’s spokesperson David Dennis claims that phishing is a concern that Microsoft is trying to tackle. So nowadays even video game systems are susceptible to online security threats.
