Video Games are getting more connected to the Internet, and thus are more likely to be hacked or DOS’ed (Denial of Service)

I tried to go to the Sony website on Christmas:

And I got site not available.

It is interesting the Trend Micro link says that Sony has not given out details for this attack and its effects yet.

 

 

 

The Mac is now proven to be susceptible to a firmware hack: This type of attack can threaten and infect your Mac system. Of course to install the malware it must be done onsite and the Mac has to reboot. But if someone gets to touch and use your Mac it can happen.

I believe all computers can be hacked with enough time and ingenuity it can happen.

 

So that is why we must be vigilant  and perform our own hacking with Ethical hackers on the resources that we have.
