Even if Sony had no security that wouldn't excuse a malicious hack of their systems.

The fault is 100% on the hackers.  That's the way it has to be legally.

I agree with the first statement. I'm not trying to excuse the hackers.

I don't agree with the second one. I'm quite sure that legally Sony is responsible for keeping customer data secure, at least in some countries, especially when they get hacked through known vulnerabilities. They are also liable for the consequences of leaked data, which is why you're starting to see lawsuits.

Somewhat true, but one has to differ responsibility from guilt.
