Hacker Believes PSN Still Not Secure From Hacking Threat
Not so fast, says an ex-hacker that sat down with Industry Gamers to give his take on this whole debacle. When IG's John Gaudiosi asked the hacker if he thought the network was "hacker-proof", he flat out said no, and his response may surprise you at how easy he thinks it would be for hackers to attack again.
No. And it’s not just Sony gamers that are at risk. It’s anyone who has any online gaming console like Xbox or Wii. Nothing’s 100 percent secure. Even if Sony had never been hacked, when anybody goes online to do anything, play games, search the Internet… you’re always taking a risk that somebody might get your information. When you’re connected to your Wi-Fi and you’re playing online games it’s opening up hundreds of ports. Each one of those ports is like a door that a hacker can use to bypass your firewall and get into your computer. In the gaming community, most people don’t even know this is happening. They just think I’m going online to play games and everything’s fine. They may not think about security because they have a firewall on their Linksys or DLink router that they bought at Radio Shack for $30 or $40. Well, if it was that easy then Sony shouldn’t have been hacked. They should have gone over to Radio Shack and grabbed a $40 DLink router and everything would be fine.
If there is another attack, it will be interesting to see how Sony's new security holds up for the company. Time will tell, the most recent threats to Sony came from a new group called LulzSec where the warned the electronics maker that this is "the beginning of the end for the company"

Strawberry, Anonymous had nothing to do with the hacking. Maybe "some" anons but the whole group to take on Sony? No.

Seeing as how they had full access on the console for over a week Id say that most of the code is already on the web.
Workarounds are being developed by people as we speak.

OT: As "The Ex-Hacker" says, it's not just Sony who's network is hackable, it's everyone's.
