7Former hacker says PSN still not secure
Hacker turned security consultant George Evans says Sony should be hiring instead of prosecuting those that seek to breach its security: "Computer hackers are like Navy SEALs. When we went in to get Bin Laden we didn’t send in the infantry. We sent the best in the world – the SEALs. But who’s protecting Sony’s network? IT managers."

7Hmmmm, he couldn't just be angling for a consultancy job could he?
Well he has a valid point doesn't he?
Hiring all the people who try to hack your system is easier then trying to sue them all.
Then again, if it a very large amount of people (which I'm beginning to think it is) then they've got their work cut out.
There's a few problems with his statement. For a start Hackers are absolutely nothing like Navy Seals. Incorrect use of the word 'We' when I'm almost 100% sure that Mr. Evans was never involved in Operation Neptune Spear. Forgetting that when 'they' originally went in to get Bin Laden, they did send the infantry (I guess he's already forgotten the preceding 10 years). They didn't send in Seal teams this time (seal team six was dissolved in 1987) they sent in DEVGRU (Navy Seals fall under the control of NAVSPECWARCOM, where as DEVGRU fall under JSOC). The argument that they are the best in the world is highly subjective. Navy Seals would be terrible at protecting Sony's Networks, they just don't have the training.
Wow a smart person just wrote!! :) ....(...) ummmm???? wooooot? no wait what was that about the military and the sony network? ...... nvm forget it! ... look if a hacker gets sued is cux well he wanst good enought to not get caught so if he gets sued he well deserve it!!!!! LMFAO! ... .... ... and to tell u this; the best part of it is that the now-a-day hackers are kids that do it for fun :) how weird is that? O,o so they could not have any responsibility to take on a job! oh and hell if u turn it into a job then there is no fun-so it be boring. so ahem im outta here lol...........(puff*)..***TheCrow-banishes***

Keeyop:ST6 is the nickname that the both the public and the military use for the Naval Special Warfare Development Group because well, it's a bit of mouthful. The infantry were not 'sent in' first either, it was a joint operation with a combination of British and US special forces.
Anyways, games eh? Crazy!
Still just a nickname though and nobody said the infantry were sent in first, just that they were deployed under the original war to settle the score (operation enduring freedom).
George Evans is a biff I wouldn't listen to a thing he says.
