Mad against Sony but not mad a little bit against the actual offenders? Lets wait for the legal action conclusion to know if Sony were being negligent but comparing this event with BP, really? Its not like Al Qaida bombed their oil platform. Even if Sony is proved to be negligent in the way they handle their customers informations, it could never compare to the BP event, whether it comes to consequences or responsibility.

It almost seems like your forgetting someone actually stole the information. Dont get me wrong, im happy that there is a class action lawsuit that will inspect Sony for negligence. But the most important isnt that, its that the police or Sony can trace back the hackers who got our informations, they are the real danger here, not Sony.

What can you do about it?  Most of these hackers/thieves are in untouchable places like Russia/Eastern Europe/China/Nigeria who are protected by their corrupt governments.

Maybe, sadly, but with what has been going on between Sony and hackers lately, its possible that the hackers arent from the countries that usually perform this kind of actions.
