The Japanese government has not allowed PlayStation Network to be activated for Japanese gamers yet due to security concerns, and now an expert is advising Australia to follow suit.
Professor Bill Caelli told newspaper The Australian, “Why is it that in the IT industry enterprises certify themselves?” said Caelli, noting that PSN didn’t have the same restrictions, and added that the public has “no way of assessing the assurances given by the owners of the (PSN) system themselves”.
Reportedly, Australian privacy commissioner Timothy Pilgrim has been in contact with Sony, and has not judged yet whether Sony has given them enough information to restore PSN. His investigation will be an ongoing one as well, even after PSN is restored.
When it was discovered user information had been stolen during the PSN breach, the Australian federal government announced plans for a law forcing companies to disclose privacy breaches, although it was unclear when it might come into effect. Privacy minister Brendan O’Connor had stated:
“Sony isn’t alone. We’ve seen serious privacy-related incidents in recent months involving other large companies. All companies that collect customers’ personal information must ensure that the information is safe and secure from misuse.”
We’ll stay on this story as it develops.
Hello guys.
Thanks as always for the Episode. I did not find the time and mood to listen to all of the last episodes. Real life is hitting me hard the last months 🙁
Now I am on holiday and so I have more time for the good things in life, this includes listening to your Podcast 🙂
I am playing a lot of silksong, slay the spire 2 and some Balatro recently. Mostly I watch tv Shows and play Frosthaven with friends.
Flashback: at least a game I know! Never played it, but at least I could understand what you talked about 🙂
PoE 2: i played that game for hundred of hours and I love it! With the new patch end of the month I will get back to it. It’s the better diablo 4. you should give it a try!
Switch 2 Price increase: I already have mine, but i regret buying it 🙁 I played some Mario Kart and about 2 Hours Donkey kong … that’s it :/ I even played more switch 1 since i bought the switch 2 :/
Slay the spire 2: I beat the current phase 3 boss as well. It was hard but doable. In my opinion it should be hard, because it’s the actual end Boss…
That’s all for now from my side 🙂
Please keep on the good work and stay healthy guys!
Greetings,
Ralf
