This would be such an incredibly stupid security failure. Passwords should always be salted and hashed. Credit card info should always be HSM-protected so that it is irretrievable except through a hardware API. What was Sony thinking!?

Since a press release, in the mindset of Anon, is released by an individual or a group of individuals, they may not be aware that a separate member did perform the hack. In the end no one really knows until someone pretty muc…
a moot point? moot? really? i like your choice of words. Heh.

Sony apologizes only to Chuck Norris.
I can't even begin to fathom the magnitude of this considering how many people likely use the same login credentials for all of their sites. The problem you run into is that communicating both the nature of the breach and convincing people to respond accordingly is incredibly hard. This will continue to happen across many sites. I think after enough of these breaches, though, people will start to think about the prot…
This is a good time to purchase a password-vault app - AND USE IT!
