People are saying 20 billion, because each case of identity theft like what happens in having their paswords and names copied costs an average of $318... and Sony is probably on the hook for that.

Of course the average of $318 is more of a, hit one person for thousands and thousands while most skirt free... but you get the point.

Peoples bank accounts and such are at risk despite CC info not being taken because of the propensity at which most people repeat passwords.

 

While I don't care personally, it's a very big deal for Sony.



I doubt the law would care if people repeat passwords. thats not sonys responsibility. Also, as stated in california law only thing that needs to be encrypted is the CC info
