Reuters: Expert Finds "Security Flaws in Sony's Networks"

An Internet security expert uncovers "a potential bonanza for hackers."

if a report from news organization Reuters is any indication, Sony's overall Internet security is lacking far beyond the confines of the PlayStation Network, Qriocity music service and Sony Online Entertainment servers.

 

Reuters has concluded that "Sony Corp's computer networks remain vulnerable to attack three weeks after the company learned that it had been victim of one of the biggest data breaches in history, according to an Internet security expert." That security expert is John Bumgarner, chief technology officer of the partially government-funded U.S. Cyber Consequences Unit. And the flaws Bumgarner found in Sony's Internet security -- and how he found them -- are startling.

 

As stated by Reuters, Bumgarner "had viewed only parts of Sony's network that were visible over the Internet, and did not attempt to break in to password-protected sites or exploit any vulnerabilities." Rather, all Bumgarner did is use Google to find a series of servers, files and other sensitive areas where data might be stored, things that shouldn't be available to the average Internet user. He calls it "Google hacking," and he was able to find a series of weaknesses, many of which Sony has since fixed (due to Reuters informing Sony of the possible security issues). Reuters referred to his findings as "a potential bonanza for hackers… using little more than a web browser."

 

Bumgarner concluded to Reuters that "no one should be able to point a web browser at Sony and see a security management console or find their identity management system that has been indexed by Google." Yet, that's exactly what Bumgarner was able to do. Another Internet security expert, Mikko Hypponen of the computer security company F-Secure, went even further when speaking with Reuters about Sony's lack of Internet security and what the company is attempting to do to fix it. "[sony has] been running around in circles for the past three weeks," he told the news agency.

 

Sony responded to Reuters via e-mail, telling the news agency that "the first and most important thing to note is that protecting our customers data is a company-wide commitment that we take very seriously." But with the PlayStation Network now down for 24 days and counting, gamers are anxious to know when they'll be able to get back online with their PlayStation 3s and PSPs. The latest official word from Sony was that the PlayStation Network would be back in as little as "a few more days" as of May 10th, but there's been nothing beyond that.

Det går rykter om opprulling sent på onsdag for japan og resten på torsdag. Kan det stemme da !!!=?

[IcedInsanity]

Neppe, tror ikke det blir før helt på slutten av mnd.

[A E S T H E T I C]

Psn er på vei opp, bare å koble til og oppdatere, noen timer/minutter så er PSN oppe

[SimenB]

ikke feil. Blir spennende å se hvilke spill de gjør tilgjengelig for nedlastning, og når PSStore åpner

 

Har installert oppdateringen nå, men det er fortsatt ikke online. Håper det er klart i morgen.

 

Litt spes at Japan er sist, da.

Laster ned systemupdate nå! Endelig kan det bli litt PS3-gaming

 

EDIT: Fikk lastet ned updaten ja, men klarer ikke logge inn... "PSN is currently undergoing maintenance". Snakk om å gi falske forhåpninger

Updaten er bare til at du må sifte passord. Når psn kommer opp

[Cryflopp]

Elektronikkonsernet Sony går søndag i gang med starte opp det hackede Playstation-spillenetverket. De regner med at alt fungerer igjen innen den 31. mai. Netverket startes opp i land etter land..

[IcedInsanity]

Og ikke forvent at Europa og Norge står FØRST på den listen.

[Hewitt]

Europa er nummer to på listen bak Nord-Amerika, jamfør meldingen fra PlayStation litt lengre opp her. Men hvis det går land for land innenfor regionen også, er neppe Norge først ut i Europa.

[IcedInsanity]

Var slik eg forstod det, altså land for land. Så da kan det ta litt tid.

Er visst noen i USA som er online nå. Håper det er oppe her til lands i løpet av morgendagen

 

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/301394/news/why-isnt-your-psn-back-online-in-europe-yet-be-patient-says-sony

According to Sony Europe comms boss Nick Caplin: "The process has begun and some countries are being turned on now, so please be patient as we reach [European gamers]. In the meantime, now's a great time to get your PS3′s firmware updated and change your password, both of which are required to get online."

 

Or in other words, Sony is making sure everything's tickety-boo in the US, and should be reaching your little black box o' magic later today.

Har egentlig "glemt" Ps3 litt jeg. Nå har det gått så lang tid at jeg egentlig ikke savner det lenger heller.. Vet ikke helt hva jeg skal tenke. Har ikke ofret GT5, Black Ops, BF osv en tanke på et par uker før i dag... Blir vel mest PC for min del fremover.

Er det sånn at man må skifte passord på psn kontoen sin for å komme online igjen? Når PSN er oppe vel og merke.

[IcedInsanity]

Ja.
