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

You don't really understand how encryption works. You need the key. The key changes.

You can always crak the encryption given enough time. Give it a few weeks to potentially years and they can get what the password used to be.

Exactly. Without breaking the encryption immediately (or within whatever specified timeline used by the key), it's useless.

Doesn't mean whatever program he used to data mine the database didn't pick up the passwords in encrypted form and if you have a powerful enough computer you can break it alot faster, and everyone is going to change their psn anyways (Sony is gonna make you have to) so the passwords only value is to someones other things that they might use the same which they won't be as likely to change, granted the most probable explaination is just that he got them too and it's useless to him
