Sony says PSN hack was "great experience"...

Sony exec <a href="http://www.computerandvideogames.com/311557/news/psn-hack-was-great-experience-sony-exec-states-oddly/">Tim Schaaff</a> proves once again that big corporations live in some bizarre otherworld where reality intrudes but rarely. <a href="http://venturebeat.com/2011/07/13/gamesbeat-2011-psn-downtime/">GamesBeat</a> reports that he said it was a "Great experience, really good time. Though I wouldn't like to do it again."

Was he joking? Or could he actually be serious? The hacking of PSN was probably the worst and most public intrusion of a major developer or publisher in recent history, although it was quickly followed by the hacking of Codemasters, Sega, Nintendo and SquareEnix, among others.

Now, I would argue that it was a requirement of Sony waking up to how poor their security obviously was, it is just a shame that their users were the ones that had to suffer the loss of their personal information. He continued to say that; “A determined hacker will get you, the question is how you build your life so you’re able to cope with those things.”

Ne'er a truer word spoken.

Pity Sony and their customers had to take the kicking before the corporation realised that.
