  • Sony Announces PlayStation 3 Official Wireless Headset With 7.1 Virtual Surround Sound


    Away from all the buzz and security issues Sony seems confident to announce their new official wireless headset / microphone that promises to take game to a higher level.

    The headset features 7.1 virtual surround sound and will be available for about $99.

    The official PS3 Wireless Stereo Headset will be available for $99.99 (MSRP) at retailers nationwide this September. Many more of your favorite franchises, such as Killzone and Gran Turismo, were also designed for surround sound audio. Featuring 7.1 virtual surround sound, the Wireless Stereo Headset lets you hear all the minor in-game audio clues clearly, whether you are in a firefight in a first-person shooter game or racing for the checkered flag.

    Connecting the Wireless Stereo Headset with PS3 is made easy with the included USB Wireless Adapter. Precise volume controls and accessible microphone mute make it so you never have to interrupt gameplay to fumble for buttons. You can easily stay informed about battery status, sound controls, etc. with on-screen headset status updates. On top of that, the Wireless Stereo Headset also offers the highest quality voice chat for crystal clear online conversations. The mic is retractable so you can put it away if you just want to listen to music or play a single player game.

  • Sony Music Japan Hacked Through SQL Injection Flaw


    Another day, another attack on Sony. Just when you couldn’t imagine it getting any worse for Sony, a new attacks on the Sony Music Japan and Greece websites (SonyMusic.gr, SonyMusic.co.jp), exposing databases using SQL injection techniques. Sony has suffered from two hacks last month lead to compromising over 100 million accounts along with usernames, password, credit cards info.

    The good news? The database information that was published does not contain names, passwords or other personally identifiable information. The attackers noted that there are two other databases on the site that are vulnerable and it remains unclear whether they contain sensitive information.

    It isn’t clear whether the hackers are able to inject data into the database, or simply access the tables and records it contains. If they are able to alter the records, this could be used to insert malicious code that could be used to compromise people browsing the site.

    While there is an enormous target on Sony’s back as a result of these very public attacks it is unclear why this is happening. Is Sony taking security seriously or are there simply so many flaws from the past that exist in their public facing sites that it will take them a long time to patch them all?

    I hope this is the last time to report on a flaw at Sony. Sony has announced they are working with several professional organizations to get their security house in order and for their sake I hope this happens sooner rather than later.
