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ewhenn writes "Security experts monitoring open Internet forums learned months ago that Sony was using outdated versions of the Apache Web server software, which 'was unpatched and had no firewall installed.'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."

    IANAL, but shouldn't users have the reasonable expectation that their data would be secured? Is there a suit here?

    Everytime a new PS3 firmware comes out, with "security updates" you are almost forced to install it or you lose PSN, plus other features, but they don't care about updating and securing their servers?
