In an interview with Bloomberg, the CEO of Sony, Howard Stringer, has admitted that he always had confidence in the safety of the NDP and said he was surprised by an attack by hackers against a free service. "Our security has failed to block the attack and we are trying to figure out why. But we have made important strides in strengthening our countermeasures." "I do not think I should apologize for having remained in the dark," says Stringer, "an attack of this magnitude is a new thing for everyone." A Sony spokesman said several days ago that the attacks from the NDP in 2008 and which led to the closure of the network for nearly a month between April and May of 2011, are not linked.
The latest intrusion was "much more sophisticated" Japan and the company thought it had solved the problems of vulnerability highlighted in 2008. Meanwhile, after the restoration of online gaming in the next few days Sony should proceed with the reopening of the PlayStation Store.
