[PS3] Hack PSN, serviço interno!??

[Direu]

Just days before PSN was "hacked," Sony fired over 200 employees in their online division.

In Sony massive corporation style thinking, once March 31th, 2011 rolls around they decide to get rid of any "dead-weight", in this case, employees they think are "useless" or no longer needed so they can close off the "year-end books" with various "claimed losts" to save corporation taxes, just like any big massive corporation thinks, only for themselves and their "bottom line", not for the little human beings slaving away everyday for their profits.

Like all layoffs that are hard to swallow, this case was a big one, one 1/3 of the staff that worked in the ONLINE division, in all over 200 employees were given their sad "pink slip" 2 week notice, which means they had to work right up until the very dates that Sony had to shutdown the PSN network!

Even tho Sony rented servers from AT&T data center, being the "unmanaged" type, any Sony employee in the SOE dept. would be able to gain access showing their "photo id" badge to do maintenance work on the servers, if they needed more then just "whitelisted" remote server access from their office.

Today, Sony again announce that all the user account "passwords" were "hashed" on their blog, but any key online employee that was layoff could very well have easy access to the needed cryptographic hash function information in regard to any encryption that might have been used on the servers, including CC access for billing and accounting.

Even tho some of these employees were in working in remote offices, they could have easy had whitelisted server access to the San Diego HQ to do their daily work, it just seems very strange that suddenly both networks go down after a massive layoff of KEY ONLINE SONY EMPLOYEES when they have to work knowing it is their last days on the job being a lowly paid slave to evil corporation

Resumindo tudo pra quem tá sem vontade de ler, dias antes do hack da PSN e posterior queda da mesma, a Sony teria demitido mais de 200 empregados responsáveis justamente pelos seriços Online.

Fica agora a "teoria da conspiração", teria todo esse problema de dados roubados ter sido causado por internos furiosos com a perda de seus empregos? E a Sony, para ocultar isso, pôs a culpa nos hackers?

Diz a lenda que o lendário DarK Alex derivava da mesma teoria, diziam que ele era algum tipo de programador do PSP, foi mandado embora pela Sony, e o resto, bem, vocês já sabem...

Nesse momento é a coisa mais sensata que eu li. Pela demora em repor a PSN é completamente viavel essa info.
Um ataque interno justificaria a demora em repor o serviço, seria necessario corrigir muita coisa a ponto de criar uma "nova" psn.
