Is that this security breach was a server-side flaw. "Hacking" a PS3 shouldn't give anyone access to critical PSN information any more than hacking a computer or install of Firefox would give you access to Amazon's customer database.
The tools to defend against this type of attack have been available for years. I can build a secure e-commerce store in a matter of hours and get it locked down to prevent this type of information breach using off-the-shelf software. Why can't Sony do the same on their PROPRIETARY system?
No matter whether you think Sony was in the right over the Geohotz fiasco, they royally screwed the pooch on this one.
And that is no one's fault but their own. They deserve every bit of bad press they're going to get over this.

Can you do it on a massive amount of worldwide servers that were built half a decade ago? Didn't think so, and I'm pretty sure whoever got into psn could easily get past whatever defences you can make

Well, I certainly hope Sony has more than one person manning their security department.
And hackers would have a hell of a time getting through some of my software. It's been battle-tested on the open market for years and it's never revealed a massive, gaping hole such as the one we're seeing right now.
