Sony Hires Homeland Security Official, Beware PSN Hackers!

The snafu that brought Sony’s PSN to its knees isn’t likely to happen again! No siree! Sony has hired themselves an official from Homeland Security, and if there’s anything that screams raging competence its a US government official. Right? Right!

Kotaku:

Sony created a new chief information security officer post, reported Reuters, and selected former U.S. Department of Homeland Security officer Philip Reitinger for the position, who will be based in Washington.

“Certainly the network issue was a catalyst for the appointment,” a Sony spokesman said. “We are looking to bolster our network security even further.”

Since the security breach, Sony has added over 3 million new PSN users.

Phew! Leet protection.
