Question to those defending Sony. Is it okay to store passwords in plain text?

No but then it's illegal to hack your way into servers. Failings on Sony's part should not be used in an arguement to justify hacking of any sort even if that hacking reveals the failing.

 

In this whole thing, all I'm wondering is about Sony's security and what firm/software they hired in all these. Security is only as good as what you pay for and as far as I am aware Sony does not make security software or firewalls. If these people really have hacked some other Sony servers then I'm sure they've done well to outline security wholes in a network, got someone fired for it and helped a security company lose a large contract. Well done.



Hmm, pie.
