Any website that allows you to have you're password emailed to your email address isn't storing them hashed. So there are _many_ sites with that kind of security issue.
I actually thought that Sony was a password reset, but I have no idea.
Thing is whoever done the crime had inside information, thats clear.
It's no use blaming Sony, it's a wakeup call for a lot of big businesses. It's been getting worse over the past few years, I would expect it just to get worse with everything in our homes going online and requesting payment info.
Probably the biggest wakeup should be for users. NO system is secure if it has to provide itself over public networks, like the internet.
My advise would be to buy a password generator keyring, have a low limit credit card for online transactions and don't use your main card online. Don't bother about name,address, email etc., it's not worth worrying about it because it's becoming practically impossible to keep that private. If you move house a lot, then it's no issue.:)
I feel for Sony, they have given me a lot of fun times and memories. Also sucks for Japan too, they love their Sony brand. I wonder if they feel hurt when a national brand gets done over after what's going on there. I imagine so.
I had the same thought, but only because it seemed a logical deterministic beginning to the big bang, not due to temperature as I'd say that was a by product.
First off, when you pretend to be Australian, step number one is use En_AU
Ahh the joy of an internet cafe.
Flat out wrong. Gerry does understand that a lot of retail is going online, what he doesn't realise is his business model needs to change in order to remain competitive.
It's really just a matter of whether or not you believe his reasons for speaking out on it, or the comments from others. He knows exactly what he might need to do, and I believe his reasons for not wanting to do it don't have anything to do with him making 'less' money because it's likely that he would make more.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA,
You're talking about the man who played a huge part in killing local competition and manufacturing. He is now part of the retail oligopoly which strangles independent brick and mortar competitors in the infancy.
So... your an all caps mocking poster then. Typical.
But please, I'm sure you can explain how it was Gerry Harvey that kills local competition and manufacturing, and not China's export economy.
I'd say Gerry Harvey understands that everything is going to online shopping, and also realizes that for him (and others) to stay competitive is to go offshore for warehousing via holding companies.
Thats how most online retailers work, and thats how they get the low prices. Very very low overheads, not having to employ many people in country. Not having to front up the cost for retail outlets and in store warranty on goods.
Gerry Harvey is a very nice guy, and very patriotic.
I have no taste for those particular insults, as I have a few long time friends that are handicapped - but each to his own.
So how do you, if in fact you're not an idiot, work out that there wouldn't be so many people interested in hacking the PS3 if Sony had of not disabled Linux. You make NO sense. Sony had only disabled Linux in response to hackers using the feature as an exploit. There is also the fact that less than.01 percent of the user base had even installed Linux anyway...
Seems to me that you're just another simpleton trying to justify hacking.
Big business _already_ runs on fiber. Um what kind of big business are you talking about that runs off a DSL line... You're mums home office ain't a big business buddy.
Don't go around stating that this NBN is going to be great for big business, big business doesn't care one bit. The NBN is for all you leaching, pron watching, web surfers and that's why you're on here trying to vehemently defend such a exorbitant cost to the nation at a time when we should be reducing our spending. Yes fiber is great, but now is NOT the time to be trying to pull it off.
You say you're always surprised to hear people talking about governments wasting money, I say you're a fool if you think that wasting money is a good thing. How can you think that? You're trying to make out that we've 'saved' the past 15 years and now it's time to spend. My goodness how misguided can you get? We have been spending and performing well as a nation for the past 15 years yes, but in the last 3 we went from our biggest national budget surplus, to our biggest national budget deficit.
Are you all that blind from the technology orgasm to see this is not a good time to spend almost 5% GDP on a boost to internet speed's for households??? It's not like we are getting more broadband penetration out of this, it's just an upgrade to existing broadband capable households.
I kinda thinks it's exploiting the little boy. When I watch it all I see is a poor child mind struggling to understand what is happening, and can't understand to amusement, and therefore reason why this video is advertised.
I'd also rather keep the image of kids on drugs out of the media.
I'm no statistician, but why compare the odds of a series?
If I flip a coin, does the previous 10 flips impact the result of particular flip? No.
Even using the odd's of a series, if you put in boy(tuesday)+girl, and girl+boy(tuesday), then why don't you use boy(tuesday)+boy and boy+boy(tuesday) also?
I don't agree. It is not directly democratic to hopejr, and all other Australians.
When I read through Australian news forums, there are a lot of regular people that feel that when they elected the government, they elected it as it was, with Kevin Rudd as it's leader.
At the end of the day, a government is one person, and to change that person, is to change the government. The only people with the right to change the government are the public citizens of Australia.
I'm an Australian, and I know how our system works, yet I entirely agree. Not democratic, and a truly unjust and deceitful way of manipulating the will of the people.
Examples would be great here. I really fail to see anyone who starts a _commercial_ business doing so without the objective of making a profit, sure maybe not lots of profit, but a profit no less.
It's not jaded to think that way... NPO charity organizations are a great part of society. But they are definitely not a commercial business.
In regards to the book and security, it's the most widely used OS of the systems that are at risk (always networked with IP Address).
In regard's to his Richard Clarke's comments, Microsoft are one of the highest quality software providers, no doubt for me. It's the biggest target, not the worst protected.
Also I don't see why people don't realize that for there to be the kind of security on home systems that are on DOD system, you would have to put in place the same restrictions on how the computer is used and accessed.

Was it not hashed?

I think we are all a bit crazy then.

It was the greens that negotiated this.

Yeah, when people die due to shoddy due diligence on the behalf of the government, it's just so meh these days.

I don't think thats accurate at all.

You can find these for as little as $9 in Australia...

I call BS on the $12 with International postage too. Where did you order it from?

Bit harsh. Can't we all just 'get along'. =)
I think you're argument is strong enough without the barbs.
Honestly, how much complaining do we have to go through. Post after post. It seems to happen so much these days. Must be gen Y overload.

Some people are so dumb.
Nursie you're full of it.
How much of an idiot do you someone who read that is. Lame lame lame.
You are just another kid salivating at the chance to get pirated games. Really think anyone believes you? Lol. Typical.
How I would love it for people to feel the other side of the coin, and have everything they worked for taken away without any renumeration.
What the $$#$ is wrong with people. Get a job and pay for you're video games.

Wake up lemmings.
It's normal that government has a public friendly official policy line, yet in reality has a completely different mentality.
I'm impressed with the response time. And I hope you Brits never have to go through the experience of terrorism again in your lifetime.

Are you talking about pole-dancing politicians? I hope the Labor government don't start doing that. That would be alarming.
Indeed, one only needs to look at Rudd's fevered research into these matters, holding a very insightful day with some real pro's in New York.
I managed to save one of the minutes taken by his staff at the time. Fascinating stuff.
They never went inside, you just put all your stuff out on the street and they wrote it down.
So Steve it seems like perfect to you're eyes, but not so to your younger buyers.
