Sony has finally decided after losing 101 million accounts from both their SOE and PSN networks back in April 17th, and not getting very far with their own internal audit of the servers, has call in the MIB Teams!
First up to bat, is Data Forte, which is led by a former special agent with the U.S. Naval Criminal Investigative Service, to work alongside agents from the F.B.I., who are also looking into the matter, but no updates from them on their progress after a whole 2 weeks of PSN downtime.
Second up to bat, is team of top cybersecurity detectives from Guidance Software, which also produce wonderful software that most likely will be installed on the new servers to track down future attacks.
Third up to bat, is group of highly-paid consultants from Protiviti, that specializes in assessing risks, with companies like Sony that are now facing a number of lawsuits and goverment questions.
And what use is a number of highly-skilled batters without another team to bring the hackers to court, so Sony has of course retain the lawfirm of Baker & McKenzie, the reason for this lawfirm is they have lawyers around the whole globe, even in middle-east and asian countries, so no matter where the hackers are hiding this firm will be able to serve them papers!
Since none of the above mentioned companies are willing to comment on the investigation into the world's largest breach of personal information, we end this news item with the latest silly comment from a Sony spokeperson!
"They are hackers. We don't know where they're going to attack next!"
