interesting article and all but i thought the "common knowledge" of sony being out of date came from their statment of "blah blah blah ... we were exploited via a known whatever that we were not aware of. something something.

that doesn't quite add up to me.

This. Sony said they were attack through a known vulnerability. It doesn't make sense, if the servers were up to date. They would also have been the first to discount the claims about their servers, if it were untrue. The fact that they haven't really makes this "claim" seem baseless.

Yes, but didn't this accusation of the out of date software come from the government hearing?  This happened after Sony's press conference.  And right now, I think Sony is a little more interested in sorting this whole mess out and helping the FBI/Homeland Security get all the facts, than answer questions brought up by a professer using "proof" from a chatlog at a subcommittee meeting.

I'm not sure where the information came from. There have been plenty of articles about it, but I haven't really kept up lately. It seems like it would be something that they would address. It makes them seem incompetent and negligent for not updating their servers and keeping private information safe. A simple statement and proof to show that they were not careless with security would go a long way for some.
