TechFrag - The software used for the hack can now be purchased. Former hackers have claimed that the way Sony Entertainment became a spectacle for everyone for over a month, many other top companies are vulnerable to such hacks by over thousands of hackers online.
Huff Post:
When Lawrence Flynn’s smartphone was stolen in Atlanta in July, he assumed it was gone for good. Weeks went by. Police had no leads.
“I had given up hope,” he said.
But an investigator at Absolute Software had not given up. Four months after the theft, Flynn, 57, got a call from the company, which attempts, for an annual fee of $30, to recover a customer’s stolen phone no matter where it ends up.
Sounds interesting. But we never know if someone is eligible to find his phone again or not.
