If your bank screwed up their private key in the way that Sony did which enabled hackers to access your account, you wouldn't blame the hackers you would blame your bank for their lax security. I don't understand why people rail against the hackers when the one who truly screwed up here is Sony. It is the same deal if you all bought a super advanced security system from Sony and someone figured out how to open the front door to your home with a special knock.

On to other news, people have the right to do whatever they want with their system. Sony has the right to secure the system in a way which limits what people can do with their hardware. Sony exercised their rights, other people exercised theirs. We don't live in a society where companies can tell you what you can and cannot do with your own property, that is up to the courts to decide if your actions impact on others in a criminal or civil way.

 

Of course you blame the bank.

No, of course you blame the hackers because in this example the bank refuses to give you back money which was stolen because they are 'still in a civil and criminal suit against the hackers'.

my bank is FDIC insured and I dont have over $100,000 in it. 

Hopefully I get it back.
