Sony Part 1 [011]
When it comes to information security, Sony has had a bit of a tough go of it. In fact, there have been so many incidents, Ben and Chet decided to make this a multi-part series. This post covers 2005 to mid-2011 which we are referring to as part 1. From rootkits, to DDoS, stolen credit cards and SQL injection, Sony has been through a lot. These are opportunities to reflect for the rest of us, though. We can recognize some of the weaknesses we ourselves may still have and hopefully take away lessons on hardening our own defences.
