I wasn't talking about just carpentry either. There are very few skills which are done for shits and giggles like hacking, that can cause such damage. You said it yourself, the common hobo wouldn't know about hackers, liek the security executives it seems, but the peopl ein Sony should be very aware of how hacker culture works. Incompetence, on several layers, bit them in the ass.

well thats assuptions you're making first off yes there are several skills that can be used for harm that is hard to trace ( the shits and giggles thing doesn't really have anything to do with this if ) - for example people who have experience in administering drugs, people with certain technical skills etc
"peopl ein Sony should be very aware of how hacker culture works" really? i understand why but honestly can either of us say with certainty that that is the case with any of the networks we use?
"Incompetence, on several layers, bit them in the ass." i can't confirm that any of the things i've read or heard are true but if they are yes absolutely... but honestly im quite sure that had they had far more protection the result would have been the same but it would probably have taken longer to achieve ( does that excuse negligence, no ) the hackers seemed to have been extremely determined to have sony pay in some way

The purpose has a lot to do with it, because that means that once they have even the smallest reason to do something, they do it.
I am not really sure what you are driving at with the rest.

and my point at the end of the day has always been that it is very hard to anticipate someone's intentions in any situation, for example, in this situation i thought it more likely that in retaliation they may have worked harder on creating new custom firmware or that they may have extended to jailbreaking other devices... i never figured they would go after the network... sony probably had that assuption too as one of the agreements met from the case was that neither geohot or his associates were to mess with further sony products
