We all laughed when we saw Mark Zuckerberg get hacked, along with millions of Facebook users... but we get a little nervous when we hear of Banks getting e-robbed... but this is a trend that cannot be ignored as we see more and more of these Iconic Corporate entities have there "assets" handed to them by sheer data loss, pilferage and identity theft. Sony has now joined the ranks of the "been-had."
"TOKYO/NEW YORK (Reuters) - Sony Corp warned that hackers had stolen names, addresses and possibly credit card details from the 77 million user accounts of its video game online network, in one of the largest Internet security break-ins ever...
The Japanese electronic giant pulled the plug on the network on April 19 after finding out about the breach in its popular PlayStation Network, a service that produces an estimated $500 million in annual revenues."
http://ca.news.yahoo.com/sony-playstatio...What I want to know... is anyone doing the math? How many losses can still be weathered before there is and implosion? Do the customers have to pay for this, or is it levied against the global populous? I mean we are living in this "global village" ...and it would appear that the corporate entities from the bad to the worst seem to continually be bailed out or bought out. And who is doing the buying and with who's money? It would seem no one is keeping score... and we fail to know who is even playing the game!
I am just a little guy looking at the digital picture before me, and I can see... if the "Big-Guys" are getting hacked, what hope is there for the peons? Do we really think that it is some guy with a "laptop" sitting in his trailer hacking the world?!? I don't think so! IT is not called organized crime for nothing... and when you know who is holding all the "keys" to our information... it isn't rocket science to see where the leak is. This isn't looking so funny anymore! Where is Bruce Willis when you need him?
Taken of a scene from the movie Live Free or Die Hard... the "good guys" toss the "bad guys" out of their own party... some of the premise is feasible, but the real solution is limited by the scope of the perceived problem... this ain't Holly Wood baby! What a grand coincidence it all seems to be, the robbing of the rich to give to the richer... but if we follow the money trail we will see who profits most.
What seems to be a trend here is... a company gets hacked or stolen from, and then damage control is done via media. And for the most part, it is eaten up buy the consumer as just a glitch... so many do not see the greater game afoot. It is really the over-all landscape of internet or information insecurity that is the question. WHO are the "good guys" and who are the "bad guys?" ARE the bad guys really the good guys trying to keep their info protected by corporate assaults... or is it possibly bad guys playing both sides? All we tend to hear is that it is security glitches that are the cost of doing business.
WELL, here we are at the cross-roads... the point where the narrative goes either way, toward the grand conspiracy or the turn towards criminal coincidence. This seems to be the choice in all matters of concern; for our history or our destiny... a pattern that each school of thought tend to lean. Tell me, isn't it true that "conspiritists" tend to think that ALL is a grand plan created or cooked up... from the origin of the planet or formulation of government? And isn't it true that those "randomists" tend to think that everything is just random "scientific" chance being played out, from Earth's Origin to those who are seated in global power? I haven't seen any hard stats on the similarities...
but it may be that we have something here.
Zuckerberg and now Sony... how many do we not hear about?
