an attempt to notify people of such breaches should be done in a maximum of 48 hours.  "look there are others just as bad as us" doesnt excuse anything.  

what he said wasnt "there are others just as bad as us", he said "our actions have been one of the best"

I'm having a hard time taking in his words without thinking he's bluffing them to better suit his case.

I mean, if their response was "one of the best," then why did the US government issue statements to Sony about their lateness?

the us government didnt issue any statement, a house representative did, and after issueing a statement he called for a vote on a piece of his legislation that was midly relevant to the hacking

the bill (which didnt pass last time) that he wants revisited is probably the reason he got involved

 

im not going to say sony had no fault, in hindsight we can see problems that happened, but thats in hindsight. in the moment sony did what they thought was best. if we got warnings everytime that there was an attack on something that held some of our personal information everyone would get a daily message that there was a possibility that their information was compromised.
