re: New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)
From what i understand, there is nothing they can do to defend against the hackers. This is why Japan would not relaunch the PSN even when they were told that the network was OK, Japan knew better.
Anyways, talking to my father in law about it, who is a network engineer, he explained it as basically the hackers are one step ahead of Sony, that they know everything they are gonna do before they do it, and he suspects that there may be a mole within Sony's infrastructure who is reporting to the hacking group, mainly assumed to be a large group known as "Anonymous". Sony has asked the U.S. Government for help regarding this issue, and I certainly hope that there is someone within the Govt's cyber crime division or whatever, that can catch whoever the hackers are. But I'm not so sure. Basically say goodbye to PSN after this, i dont see it ever being the same as we know it...
