Sony hacked? Website lets you know

HasSonyBeenHackedThisWeek.com

It's difficult to get through a day without some sort of Sony-related security breach lately and we're not exactly holding our breath in anticipation of the moment when the company's "Days Since Last Hacking Incident" tally manages to hit a full seven days — particularly since there's a simple single-purpose site which keeps dashing our hopes in an instant.

The site is called "HasSonyBeenHackedThisWeek.com" and it does little more than answer the question in its own URL and provide a timeline of the Sony hacks since the massive security breach which forced the company to shut down the PlayStation Network.

This means that the site takes you on a stroll down memory lane and reminds you of the difficulties Sony encountered while restoring its game service, the security flaw in the PlayStation Network password reset feature, the phishing site hidden on Sony's servers, and ... the list goes on and on.

Considering that various hacker groups have made a sport of kicking Sony while it's down, we won't exactly be surprised if the company's security headaches continue for a while longer — and keep providing HasSonyBeenHackedThisWeek.com with a purpose and a growing list of hacking incidents.

Ah but Travis! The MEDIA relishes in the idea of dealing an even larger kick to the groin for companies like SONY when they're down on their luck.

On the bright side, after all this attention they may have the most secure service (for a time).

If all these people put their attention on any other major company you would see the same string of events.
