True, but regardless, it shows the overall intelligence of Sony to be less than that of an Ogre... :D

I remember a reporter saying they've been hacked 'dozens' of times over the past few months. The 3 we heard about were the biggest and had the largest customer data compromised.

It was nothing to do with gaming.

It was nothing to do with gaming.

Gaming was not why I pointed this out; continued mockery of Sony was, lol.

This is still a big threat to all of their customers -- using a simple packet injection the hackers got over a million customer names, genders, dob's, addresses, usernames, passwords, and ton's of 'opt-in' data. (all of which were NOT encrypted)

See as how most average users have one user name they like to use and one password, gotta feeling we're gonna hear that many of them will be compromised using some of Sony's other services. (which include SoE and the PSN)

Still a massive, massive fail on Sony's part.
