What I find most amusing about the Sony fiasco is how fans (generally PS3 owners) defend and support them, overlooking the fact that they lost millions upon millions of people's personal information.

If a blog post and 500 virtual coins is all a company needs to do to satisfy those and rectify a historic breach of privacy, then we might aswell throw in the towel now.

If only it were actually Sony getting hacked and not some other company this time.

We want to let you know that we have detected attempts on Sony Entertainment Network, PlayStation Network and Sony Online Entertainment (“Networks”) services to test a massive set of sign-in IDs and passwords against our network database. These attempts appear to include a large amount of data obtained from one or more compromised lists from other companies, sites or other sources. In this case, given that the data tested against our network consisted of sign-in ID-password pairs, and that the overwhelming majority of the pairs resulted in failed matching attempts, it is likely the data came from another source and not from our Networks. We have taken steps to mitigate the activity.

tl;dr Watch the video. Some other company had their database cracked and they tried to use any matching account/passwords. Nothing is stopping this group from going to every major game site/portal and trying this again.

Google steals people's personal information everyday and nobody complains about them.

Nothing is secure online.
