A question to those saying that Sony's security is bad or that they were negligent:

Do you know how Sony's security works? How was the hack carried out? Could you have hacked PSN? I mean, Sony just doesn't care about our sensitive information and their security is so weak, right? 

How many companies have had their entire customer data-base exposed that effected >1M people?

I think you'll probably find that Sony is the first...

Lets see

See with some luck your credit card information was already stolen 3 times and 6 years later you still had no clue about it ;)
