The Shrine

...anyone feel a little less safe on the internet recently?

Nope, I ain't arrestin' no one for nothin'

huh?

Less safe? No.

Annoyed at the various hacking attacks going on for no good reason? Yes.

I have an account with Sony Online Entertainment so I feel slightly less safe, but changing related password and then writing it down somewhere because I can't possibly remember it probably isn't any safer, so whatever.

I've been more annoyed by the fact that, with the exception of the original PSN compromise, none of the attacks have been particularly sophisticated. In 2011 no major sites should be exposed to SQL injections, and nobody but nobody should be storing passwords in cleartext.

On a personal note, not really. One of the games I play got hit last night by Lulzsec and screwed Tessian and I out of 20-30 minutes, though.
