Sony could have covered this up, but if the hacker were to publically claim responsibility and show proof they would have incurred even more damages in addition to just the leaked data - that would be criminal. As long as the possibility exists that the data has been compromised, companies MUST disclose that information. It's unbelievable that people are still in denial defending Sony. Guess what, there WAS an intrusion, and there is the possibility of a compromise of personal information and credit card numbers, they said so themselves. The forensic investigation may never be conclusive, but absence of evidence is NOT evidence of absence. |
Actually the absence of evidence is the only way to prove absence, of course you have to look, and this stuff happens all the time, do you have any idea how many ways people get stuff like their name and address, it's not that huge of a deal, and class action lawsuit can sue for them not meeting industry standards at best (assuming they didn't meet them) from what I understand so yeah, not that big of a deal there isn't even 1 confirmed case of anything happening to anyone, hell not even 1 reported case lol
