SOE was attacked at the same time as PSN but Sony is just now telling us about it. I have info on SOE and would have liked to have known much sooner. Luckily my info was limited as I just played a trial of Star Wars Galaxies a few months ago. I am glad that game sucked and I didn't subscribe.
As was said in the article, Sony didn't discover that SOE was also hacked until the beginning of this month. Assuming that is true they couldn't have told us asbout it sooner. Also if you gave them the info only a few months ago you weren't affected in this one since the database is from 2007.
...and that it took them 2 weeks to discover it makes it ok? Why did they wait so long to check SOE after knowing PSN was hacked?
Yers, they COULD have told us sooner if they had investigated it sooner.
I know though, Sony can do no wrong.
I never said it was acceptable that it took them two weeks to discover it. I only said that they can't tell you about something before they discover it. The fact that it took them this long to discover it is very bad, especially since I remember reading right after the PSN hacking that they had checked the SOE systems and found nothing. In my mind this means one of three things. 1) they did a very sloppy initial check. 2) they knew about it at that time but pretended that they had just discovered it this week (I think this one is unlikely since they are being investigated and I think they's rather not be caught lying), or 3) when getting ready to move their servers to the new more secure location they discovered that they still have a database from 2007 connected to the internet that they had forgot all about.
