Yes they would, encryptions can be broken they have no way of knowing if the hacker has the ability or the tools or the will to break it

By the time the encryption is broken the password is changed, and your work is null and void. There is no point in taking encrypted passwords. Thats why you encrypt the passwords. Also, it is known now that the data was un-ecrypted. Sony has admitted as much.

Where did Sony admit that? And the passwords could have just been stored in the same database which the hacker just mined for everything he could get doesn't mean the passwords are useful to him if he took them
|
Are you serious? Sony is telling people to change their passwords and watch their emails. If they are saying it why would the passwords are useless? Oh, cause they aren't, they are a goldmine for phishing and account hijacking.

How does Sony know if the hacker has the ability to break the encryption or not? It stands to reason they are playing it safe rather then making assumptions like everyone in this thread
