So much for the Credit card stolen stories.

Credit card info could still have been stolen. It is just not very likely at this point. That has been the line the entire time though so I don't get this comment.

At least they admit they didn't encrypt the personal data. That is grossly negligent in my eyes, but perhaps not legally. How you can store information that sensitive without encryption is beyond me, but I have seen it before sadly. Hopefully that changes going forward as a part of their security upgrading. It is fairly easy to implement all things considered, and does a lot to minimize damage done in these situations.

If i knew you. worked or went to school with you. I would be able to get the same info that sony did not encrypt.
