Anti-Virus Pioneer Evgeny Kaspersky

Anti-Virus Pioneer Evgeny Kaspersky

 

Great interview, thanks for posting.

 

Interesting!

 

Informative

 

Interesting indeed, but this part is obviously false:

We all know how Sony security is.

I might watch Die Hard 4 later.

 

Since you know more than Evgeny Kaspersky...

 

Depends which part of their security we're looking at. Obviously some of their websites were able to be SQL injected, which is pathetic.

Then again, their serious stuff (r&d) is likely locked down much more than anything else.

 

You've posted several times yourself in the 'PSN/Sony misery thread' (link) and (could) know f.i. that details of over 10000 debit/credit cards were gathered.
Doesn't that equate to a not-so-well-protected system and 'secret information' being accessed?.

 

Mr. Kaspersky isn't a hacking expert, so who knows. Seriously though, he made a mistake like a human being.

The rest he showed greater knowledge and experience.

 

@Baserk
@J_L

What about Lockheed Martin and Google?

Do not solely focus on Sony!

If you want to be objective...

 

^I think there's a clear line between the Sony and the Lockeed Martin+Google intrusions.
The first, the intial Sony hacks, seem mainly €€-driven (and all the ensuing drama more ego related) attacks on poorly protected Sony infrastructure while the latter two are much more 'strategic info'-driven attacks on 'well' protected systems.
But let's just agree to disagree on the differences.

 

@Mr.PC: Sony for sure has/had poor protection, while I'm uncertain on the other 2.
