Suffering numerous hacks into their networks, PSN in particular, wasn’t a completely horrible thing for Sony.
Speaking to TechRadar, Sony executive, Soichiro Saida, explained that the hacks (and undoubtedly the wide-spread coverage) have “woken up” their dormant customers, and actually brought them back to PSN.
“We created the welcome back package, which is one of the reasons for the upsurge in activity on the site.”
Oh, so nothing to do with a multitude of concerned users who feel their account information may have been compromised coming to check it out, right?
Another plus from the hacks was showing Sony how exploitable their security was, giving them the chance to overhaul the system and fix the error of their ways.
It takes something special to make a malicious attack that compromised thousands of accounts seem like a positive thing, but Sony feel they’re doing things right this time, and that they’re not alone in their experience.
“Network companies get hacked all the time – but do they make a noise about it? This is happening all of the time, it happened to us and it is about educating the consumers, making sure that they have their ID protected.”
Whatever you need to tell yourself to feel better, I guess.
