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 of you work in IT and how many of you are just adolescents blabbering whatever you just read on the internet?
Do I believe that "Sony can do no wrong"? Of course not, but then again, I also don't go around saying things like I know how everything about the topic works. Until someone can tell me how the infrastructure of PSN works and how they (the poster) can hack it, then all of you bashers are just idiots who know nothing.
Everything electronic in this world is hackable. But you don't see me saying how easy it is to hack high level company's infrastructure because they are so negligent, and *I* just so happen to be smart enough to know how to invade their network. If I was the most intelligent person on this planet, and I could hack everything known to man, I wouldn't blame the company that made the product because I knew how to hack it.

I have worked in IT for a number of years before switching careers. I have been certified for it in fact. Sony failed on some levels here. They are not solely to blame, but blame does fall on them. Many aspects of this story should not have played out this way. The intruder has the lion's share of the blame, but not all of it considering what has been lost, and how that was handled.

I can accept an answer like this. You're knowledgable in the field and understand how networking works.
Others in this thread are just saying "this is all Sony's fault. They're negligent. They didn't care by making such a weak network." If their network is so weak, why don't you hack it then? (not directed at you Gnizmo)
The answer is that they can't and they don't have the faintest clue how Sony's network is handled, they just want to flame because Sony made a mistake.
