Members of Sony's security team were laid off two weeks before the PSN hack back in April, a lawsuit filed against the company alleges.
It also claims that Sony spent big on security to protect its own corporate information, while failing to do the same for customer data.
Sony installed appropriate firewalls and other security measures to protect its own sensitive data, but chose not to do the same for customer data, Reuters reports
The platform holder also laid off "a substantial percentage" of its Sony Online Entertainment workforce, including "a number" of employees in its Network Operations Centre, which is responsible for preparing for, and responding to, security breaches, according to the lawsuit.
