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

This has been called "The biggest theft of personal information in history."
So the... "It's just what happens" arguement looks kinda silly.

By who, there isn't even one confirmed case of a hacker actually bothering to write down someones info, just because they could have gotten acess to it doesn't mean they looked at it and when mastercard and visa and all those got hacked a hell of alot more damage is done, people are blowing this out of preportion so far the only thing that has happend is psn being down, thats it

Yes. Clearly they specifically hacked into what holds the credit card numbers and didn't "write anything down."
Because that's what you would do. With a pencil. You wouldn't say.... copy the entire database or anything.
As for "By who" this is where reading is your friend. I've already provided this lin k for you once in another thread, and you skipped over.
Who's saying it? Experts.

There is no way to spin this man... stop trying... I mean, basically every article you can find on it now mentions how amazingly bad it was.
