I still blame sony though, such a large hole should have been caught in testing. They also should have been using a 256 bit encryption instead of a 128,  atleast for the credit information.


The thing I want to know is whether they encrypt the data at all, including passwords.

From all the breaches done before to banks, etc. They hackers got personal infos and not passwords because passwords are hashed etc.

Base on the news so far, it seems Sony store the passwords the same way as all the other pieces... i.e. plain text.
