We are in a season in which the highest technology corporations rushed to try their luck in the field of social networks. The clearest example is the Google +, but it seems Microsoft is also working on a project of the same genre . The news came by filtration of the site being developed by Redmond.
The service will be
Tulalip and will apparently be a sort of social search. The page was available just a few minutes so it was never well understand the idea, and could only read the “theme” of the nascent platform:
“With Tulalip find what you need and share what you know the easiest way “.
According to the web I could see the idea of Microsoft would start with a mild bid in the field of social networks, a strategy clearly opposed to Google +. Furthermore, as seen in the capture are enabled logging options with Facebook and Twitter so Tulalip work in integration with popular platforms .
The most caught the attention of this “leak” is that the site was published in
socl.com (belonging to the firm of Redmond), but has long been rumored that the developers of Windows recently purchased the domain
social.com and paid $ 2,600 million for him.
The truth is that if you now enter socl.com will meet with an apology published by Microsoft, and there indicate that the appearance of the Tulalip site was a simple mistake. Below I leave you a screenshot.
It was some time since the last time we talked about the PlayStation Network hack and restoration of service globally. Although the story is cooled enough, Sony has been in full work to try to restore the platform around the world and everything indicates that the company achieved its goal in midweek .
Earlier today it was revealed that PlayStation Network and its services from working in Japan again starting next Wednesday July 6 , which means that the Asian firm has established security measures necessary for Nippon gamers can enjoy all the products that are offered online.
Remember that the Japanese authorities had banned restore Sony PlayStation Network in the country until protective measures for user data. For this reason the reappearance of the platform in that territory was delayed a few weeks compared to other parts of the world.
From here on starts a new stage in the life of the Asian corporation, and not only have to work to recover the lost money by hacking into PSN (just over $ 170 million
) but also need time to gain the trust of all customers who are in their homeland.
The Japanese giant is not without problems with your network PSN . Were just after the attack on restoring a few weeks ago where they met with the massive theft of personal and financial data from users on the network. Now, again a group of hackers entered the system through PlayStation Network site password change.

This time it was made much simpler than the previous attack. This happened because Sony asked users to reset their passwords to re-use the gaming platform. To do so was necessary to prune the email address and date of birth of the user. What people did not realize Sony was that all that information was in the hands of hackers from the previous robbery.
For now, Sony disabled the page which makes the password change. Any person entering now will be with a sign stating that the site is down for maintenance. Following the incident, the company said that “unfortunately, this means that those who are still trying to change their password via www.Qriocity.com www.playstation.com or may not do.”
the company did not recognize the new attack and accuse the problem that is charged on the website is down for maintenance page. A little odd, since it occurs just when the majority of users are wanting to go to restore your service.

should be noted also that Kazuo Hirai, chief executive of the Asian corporation, sent his apologies to all who were affected users . Also asked for customers to have a little more patience while restoring service, which is believed to be one hundred percent functional by 31 May .
Thus

Since Sony started to have some friction with Anonymous, the network PlayStation Network has been one of the most important targets for hackers, both for the sake of defending a cause for them is certainly fair, as well as to access the data of millions of users access to the system console from Sony.

According to official figures, the network of Sony suffered the theft of user data, reaching a figure of 77 million affected users , to which different information is stolen, depending obviously what users have shared.

One of the most striking things is that Sony suffered the theft of data on PSN on April 19, several days after the Anonymous organization conduct the attack on their servers.
Still, Sony decided to hide all relevant information until after it introduced its new tablet device in Japan, at which time decided to officially comment on what had happened.
to emphasize that the data of users who have been exposed up to all sorts of people, from children to seniors or even credit card numbers that users used to buy by network products that are offered for their games.
According to the company who is in charge of the investigation, the unauthorized access to the PSN network can be made by infecting the PC of an administrator, which means that there may be been via e-mail with malicious content.
