Thats was a really great read, thanks for posting.

Really makes you wonder how a multi-billion dollar company could have security so bad that two guys could see such massive weaknesses by just tinkering around with the network from their homes.

It's not so much that the security was bad, but that there are people out there who will go to great lengths to pull off these kinds of deeds. Look at the breaches of other big companies and it's puts the picture in a different light.

But this article makes it sound like hacking PSN didn't require people going to great lengths.

Yep and reading other articles would beg to differ.

Have any of those?  In general, all the speculation i've seen has suggested otherwise so far and that sony was behind the times on security tech. (And that most companies are and this is a ticking timebomb where matters will get worse and laws will get stronger.)  Would be interesting to read articles that suggest the opposite.
