As the PlayStation Network outage continues, a security expert who testified about the situation in Congress is backpedaling on some of his claims. Dr. Eugene Spafford originally stated before the House of Representatives that Sony was using outdated security measures and didn’t have a firewall in place when the network was breached on April 20. However, Bitmob is reporting that Dr. Spafford submitted a written statement to accompany his testimony that indicates some of his statements are unconfirmed. ”I have no information about what protections [Sony] had in place, although some news reports indicate that Sony was running software that was badly out of date and had been warned about that risk.”
