Sony PSN Still Not Safe And It Should Be Kept Offline [Report]

From the last few weeks Sony's PSN get's hacked many times from hackers and it still not safe, after Sony celebrating with opening PSN Store online again across the world again, but we have got some news from one industry expert it's name is Gregory Evans who works as an online security expert



and also he is an author he wrote a few books, the best thing I like it that he was a hacker from his young and he spent a lot of time in a federal prison, and he had to pay $10 millions dollar after he found that he is guilty of hacking a host of companies.

When IndustryGamers got hold of Gregory Evans, the obvious question was just waiting to be asked: Do you believe PlayStation Network and Qriocity are hacker-proof now? he answered no while that is the long answer :

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.

So What do you think should Sony's PSN kept offline due to a future attacks from the hackers or not ?
