Fair enough. Decennia of disasters eventually taught MS some basic security rules. Luckily for MS and for the part of its users using additional security SW like antivirus and firewall to make up for Windows and IE flaws, most MS security disasters affected the client side. This said, those Sony haters that happen to be also MS fans and brag about XBL security when they bash PSN's one, though, are surely waving a red rag before a mad bull. Also, while both networks are a rich possible booty for identity thieves, XBL, being a pay network also for basic online multiplayer gaming and so having, at the moment, more paying subscribers, is a richer possible booty for thieves interested in CC numbers.
