new york city, New York, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) January 30, 2012 -- Sony Corp, besieged by hackers since April, considered its PlayStation Network an unlikely target even after threats by the online collective Anonymous and three separate security incidents in 2008.
The hacker group declared in April that it would wage a cyber war against Sony for trying to stop people from tinkering with the PlayStation 3. Three years earlier, the company faced three breaches in Europe, including one in which Sony said some PlayStation Network user data might have been stolen.
The repeated incidents should have warned Sony its online network was vulnerable, said Eugene Spafford, a computer science professor at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. The failure to enact safeguards such as appointing a single chief of security may show Sony misunderstands the risks inherent in Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Howard Stringer’s networked strategy, he said.
“The evidence we’ve seen so far speaks to a lack of a good data management plan and a good security plan,” said Spafford, who specialises in information security, computer crime investigation and information ethics.

Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry said today it told Sony to carry out preventive measures against data breaches, instructed the company to ease customer concerns over misuse of credit cards and share more information among affiliates.
Sony has struggled to keep up with the barrage that started in mid-April. The Qriocity and PlayStation Network entertainment services were knocked out for almost a month, compromising data in more than 100 million accounts.

Hypo Venture Capital Headlines: Wikipedia editors question site’s planned blackout
Hypo Venture Capital Headlines: Wikipedia editors question site’s planned blackout
Can the world live without Wikipedia for a day? The shutdown of one of the Internet’s most-visited sites is not sitting well with some of its volunteer editors, who threaten the credibility of their work about the protest of anti-piracy legislation. Robert Lawton one of the editors of the site as well as a Michigan computer consultant who would prefer that the encyclopedia sticks to being a neutral repository of knowledge claimed his concern- it puts the organization in the role of advocacy, and that’s a slippery slope. He also revealed that before they knew it, they’re blacked out already for them to save the whales.

London: Researchers had always assumed it took the Earth as long as five million years to recover from the species collapse.
However, a new research has proved that reefs came into existence soon after the great mass extinction as soon as the conditions normalised.
An international team, including the paleontologist Hugo Bucher from the University of Zurich and his team of researchers, has proved reefs already existed again in the southwest of what is now the USA 1.5 million years after the mass extinction.
Metazoan organisms such as sponges, serpulids and other living creatures dominated the reefs.
Metazoan-dominated reefs had already developed during the Early Triassic, much earlier than was previously assumed and as soon as the environmental conditions more or less returned to normal, the reef began to grow again due to metazoan organisms that had played a secondary role in the reefs up to then.
“This shows that, after the extinction of dominant reef creators, metazoan were able to form reef ecosystems much sooner than was previously thought,” Bucher said.
