Yes it does. I have assumptions that many companies have the same thing going on. How did these people gain this information?

LOL. Read the OP at least? Lulzsec released partial of the db as evidence of hack.

Right now, I just want to beat up the coder(s). LOL. Where the hell does Sony get their programmers?

Surely Database Administrators but then if this is just a website with mainly information on (and the details released from this illegal hack by an outside source were that of customer details for what? A mailing list?) then the people involved might only be web developers not security experts. We don't know the full story, we know one side which is that of criminals who released information about what they had done, we don't know that the database was encrypted by simple functions that the hackers got around yet claim it wasn't ever encrypted. 

That's a terrible excuse. Hackers often use smaller sites as gateways to access other resources. So at this point, Sony should have had all their properties go through a thorough security review to prevent such a situation.
