Sony's CEO Howard Stringer told reporters in Berlin today,

"This year, we at Sony have been flooded, we've been flattened, we've been hacked, we've been singed. But the summer of our discontent is behind us…..I'm pleased to tell you that the PSN is more secure and better than ever. We are aggressively expanding its content. We have more than 3 million new customers since the network came back online, and sales are exceeding what we had before the cyber attacks.”

He was, of course referring to the security breach at Sony’s Playstation Network which revealed that it and its user accounts were essentially defenseless, but that credit info wasn’t taken. It was the beginning of the Lulz-sec and Anon attacks.

So, are these words a “brave face”, a challenge or the truth? Does it matter?

After all, saying they’re more secure than ever doesn’t mean much. Before, their doors were unlocked and wide open. They didn’t even encrypt user data! So anything they’d do would be better.

Maybe the headlines should read, “Sony closed the door” or “Sony bought a lock”.

I don’t believe any site is invulnerable, but what’s worse?  He’s gambling with other peoples’ chips when he offers challenges like this.
