"They are becoming the whipping boy of the computer underground," [a cybersecurity expert] said.

Well, geee. I wonder why. I mean, we all laughed and facepalmed and shook our heads when SHC got taken down or the surpremely buggy new EVE-O forums were put up, but at least SHC and CCP knew to turn around and head for a safe (if older) system when their security issues came to light. :bash:

Post by: Milo Caman on 04 Jun 2011, 10:58: Sony's behaviour towards the 'hacking' community plays into this a lot. Companies like Microsoft have been known to interact with grey/black hats when the need arises. Sony just tend to scream 'HATE' and throw lawsuits around on a whim.

Doesn't exactly make you popular.

DUST514 is utilizing this console!

I want to play DUST more than anyone, and I know I will NOT be putting my faith into PSN.
I really hope DUST does not take a hit from this shit.

He will take the free ones.

I think the "Wait... what?" indicates the preceding is a bit of a joke.
