From DSC:<\/span><\/strong>
\nI’m seeing folks take pot shots at Sony and others re: their recent security breaches. I don’t find this type of thing funny at all, nor do I approach this type of subject in a light-hearted manner. To me, this is not a joke. I’d like to write more on this subject, but I don’t know enough to combat the hackers who might turn their ill-will towards this site\/blog.<\/span><\/p>\n

I support those people, organizations,\u00a0 and governments who are cracking down on these hackers — as national\/economic\/personal security rely on these attackers doing a U-turn (or to repent<\/em>, in Biblical terms). Instead of these attackers using their knowledge, skills, and abilities towards<\/strong> doing what’s harmful to society, they need to do what’s right and helpful to our world! <\/strong>Build up, not tear down.

Excerpt from <\/span>Spanish Police Arrest Sony PSN Hacktivists, But It Won’t Stop The Attacks: Expert<\/strong><\/a> — from FastCompany.com by Kit Eaton<\/p>\n

Sony has had to spend close to $200 million<\/span> to repair and defend its networks after a spate of attacks…<\/strong><\/p>\n

From DSC:<\/span><\/strong>
\n…and guess who pays for that $200 million?<\/strong> Sony’s current and future customers — as these costs will be rolled into Sony’s future pricing for their products & services. The consumer gets nailed again; thanks to the thievery of some bad apples.<\/span><\/p>\n
