Sony's apparent difficulty in figuring out the extent of the damage from the recent intrusion into its PlayStation Network, while frustrating for those affected by it, is not too surprising given the bag of tricks that hackers employ to hide their tracks.

All too often companies simply don't have the forensic tools or enough log data to be able to reliably piece together what might have happened and to determine the true scope of a breach. Sometimes, it can take weeks and months to get an accurate picture, and even longer for a breached entity to entirely clean out its networks.

Sony itself has offered no reason why it waited more than six days to inform consumers that their account information including name, address, birth date, purchase history, online ID and possibly credit card data, had been compromised.

Do you guys think they find them? I don't... I had to cancel my credit card because of these bustards and I can't play with my friends any more.
I even moved to Facebook game apps and Aion. Btw, these games are smart. They offer to pay by prepaid card like Paysafecard. I haven't tried it yet but I like the idea. It seems to be much better than credit card or PayPal, which is anyway connected to your bank account and credit card.

I doubt they will be found, yeah this punishes innocent people, but Sony had this coming to them.

Yeah, just like everywhere. Econimics, politics - all the same. Someone gets rich because the normal people get fooled around.

Yep. But that's the way of the world now, bad people take advantage of others. However, Sony mistreat customers and I wont stand on Sony's side neither. Part of me says Sony caused this, there is information out there, it can be found, and now Sony will answer for their mistreatment.

Well, this might be true. I wouldn't be surprised if it was.
This is the disatvantage of this globalisation. Think of Facebook - people share their personal data with a great pleasure. They link their facebook account to every blog found on the web... You don't even need to hack anything.
Such a big company like Sony will escape from the responsibility, I'm sure.

So many companies have poorly managed databases and security. Even worse some even request non critical info to be stored on accounts. By keeping these in mind you can certainly create a more secure infrastructure.
