I’ve seen more than one post elsewhere that Sony were advised time and again to improve their IT setup and that it failed to meet even a minimal standard of security. They also did the trendy corporate thing of eliminating IT as a division and hiring in contractors with the usual diffusion of responsibility and, as demonstrated here, no accountability.
It’s literally a peek behind the curtain and while I tend to condemn conspiracy types, the hypocrisy and cynicism that we’ve seen to date is as bad or worse than most could have imagined.
They tried that outsourcing IT thing where my wife works. They dumped the contractors and went back to in-house in less than two years. It doesn’t save a nickel long term. It just gets some bean counter a bonus. Naturally the bean counter doesn’t have to pay for the losses.
