But, what it seems to me is that, if we presume that Lizard Squad are idiots and they are taking credit for what another hacker called FamedGod has been doing and if what he is saying is true, then the point he is trying to make is that the Security Measures that Sony took after the hack of 2011 was minimal and he hacked PSN to prove his point. It still sucks but I can kinda understand where he is coming from if this is an issue (if its true that is)

That guy is a notorious fake. :P
Furthermore, the security measures Sony put in place after 2011 are absolutely cutting edge.
What is happening today is not a hack at all, and calling these kids "hackers" is really an abuse of the term. It's just a DDOS attack, which is something an organised group can do to simulate incredible traffic in order to take down any service. The same people took down Blizzard and a bunch of Twitch streamers yesterday.
And they made a bomb threat to the SOE president's plane.

you clearly chose the right day to make that statement...

Yes, I did. Absolutely zero security was breached.
A DDOS attack can be done to ANY online service. With enough power, you can DDOS Google or the US government. It has nothing to do with security.
