       Sony CEO Unsure Why PSN was Targeted

       The PlayStation Network is now back on track after almost a
       month long outage for online play, and the online marketplace
       which is still down with no official ETA on when it will return.
       However, executives at the top of Sony are unsure why the
       network was targeted when it offers a free service to people.
       The head honcho at Sony, Howard Stringer, recently made comments
       about the attacks.
       Quote:Obviously our network security didn’t stop the attack and
       we’re trying to understand why, and we’ve made big strides in
       bolstering our security,” the CEO told Bloomberg. We have a
       network that gave people services free. It didn’t seem like the
       likeliest place for an attack.
       One place that he could start to look is at the litigation
       against George Hotz and the outrage it caused among the people
       that are capable of crippling one of the biggest online networks
       on the planet.  I'm not saying that is the case...I'm just
       saying its probably a good place to start looking when you're
       wondering why you were attacked by hackers.
