What people blaming Geohotz and the "hackers" seem to be missing...

Pretty much the same question as the other guy how do you know it was easy but also Sony didn't sue honest hackers he sued fame grubbing ones that leaked how to pirate games on ps3 for a little attention and this really isn't the disaster people are making out to be the most sensitive piece of information was peoples address which isn't that sensitive since hotmail asks for it as well as most free emails and some people even put it on facebook 

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.

And the whole thing your basis it on is a rumor not even confrimed so you might even be wrong about the hole so yeah people really need to lay off Sony since there are so many other examples of companies doing so much worse and not one of one doing better
