This is a separate hack from the one on the PSN.

Hackers are scubags and criminals. They don't give a about hurting people.

All the more reason to hunt them down and hang them. Slowly.

I'm not sure you thought that all the way through...

Anyone that can sell it. I mean, it's valuable to someone. If you have a lot of it, you have a lot of valuable stuff that you can sell. You don't have to use it to profit.

Any chance of me buying a product with them online, is now shot in the face.

May 05, 2011 11:24:16 What I find rather telling about all of this is that the company throws enormous resources into DRM and encryption and copyright suits and all manner of other things to protect what it sees as its own information, but apparently can't be bothered to put any real effort into protecting its customers information.

And this Sony thing is just another example of why I don't give any company any information that could hurt me if it became public.

Aside from criminals organisations, who could use such a huge bank of personal info?

Advertisers.
