No I'm saying if he told te actual hackers in the chat room what the weaknesses were he is at legal fault but thats a big if, and he wouldn't have done it knowingly but that doesn't excuse it if he did, and companies use computers that you can't even find used anymore not surprized they don't upgrade often 

The hardware doesn't make a bit of difference. The software was not updated, by at least two versions. That was a timespan of 11 months, and for something that is responsible for security of info for 77 million accounts, this is severe negligence on behalf of Sony.

So they are suppossed to update immedately regardless of what actually changes were made in the software? I can see companeis expoilting that by mkaing pointless updates, oh wait MS already does, anyways I don't know if it's negligence or not to me that doesn't seem that bad considering the costs involved, I can see a company only upgrading every year but again I don't know what the industry standards are and I suspect neither do you
