Sony Running Unpatched Servers With No Firewall

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the oh-yeah-that'll-be-fine dept.

ewhenn writes "Security experts monitoring open Internet forums learned months ago that Sony was using outdated versions of the Apache Web server software, which 'was unpatched and had no firewall installed.' The issue was 'reported in an open forum monitored by Sony employees' two to three months prior to the recent security breaches."

    The problme was with unpatched Apache - maybe if they had been running IIS they would have been OK :)

    You laugh, but when you think about it and weigh PSN against XBox Live, Sony failed so hard they made Microsoft's security look good by comparison.

    That's a special kind of failure. That's the full retard, if you will.
