This is totally irrelevant to the issue, whatever the hackers attitude, intentions and honesty (but Sony and many other companies, even when they don't sue, are often against the right of honest users too of modding the HW they bought), a compromised remote client cannot compromise by itself, without further server hacking, a correctly designed and set up network and its servers. This said, as I wrote, even in the worst case there are many companies that did much worse things than Sony about security, this doesn't absolve Sony, but some Sony haters should stop gloating already, chances are that some of their favourite companies did even worse.
