I totally agree.
However, as to the delay... you may but I don't believe Sony. US politicians are up in arms about it. Cyber Security experts in Oz are calling for legislation (as I wrote above, post #36)...

I love the way some people will go on making excuses for Sony when they know they were responsible for safeguarding their customers' personal details.
Even... The (Australian) Privacy Commissioner has begun an investigation to make sure Sony did everything it could to keep its customers safe.
From: http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/content/2011/s3201906.htm
Do you honestly think that's illogical and unfair? I can't believe you're that naive.
Yes it's wrong what those cybercrimms did... obviously it's a given... but by your reasoning it's ok for a bank to abandon using armoured vehicles to transport cash because, hey, they're not responsible if anything gets stolen.
And how the hell do you justify Sony failing to alert their customers to the danger for so long?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
your comment really has nothing to do with mine. how do you know what sony did or didnt do to protect this data? an investigation does not mean they did anything wrong. all it means is they are looking to see if they did anything wrong. they don't know and neither do you. do you not think that armored vehicles have not been robbed? a lock of any type only keeps a honest person honest. anything can be hacked you need to start living in the real world! i guess you would blame the rape victim. i never tried to justify Sony failing to alert their customers. maybe they did not know what got out. maybe they did. i dont know. if sony did something wrong then yes they should pay for it. if they didnt then they shouldnt pay. this stuff happens all the time around the world but you dont see people bitching about it here. this only made news here because its sony and gaming and most here are sony haters.
@dEwMe

Actually, there are 77 million reasons why you are minimising this incident. Implying I'm just a Sony hater is really f***ing immature.

I totally agree.
Holy Crap! Did I just see that you actually agreed with something I said!?!? ;P

This is absolutely untrue. This is world wide gaming IMPORTANT news/information and aD is doing this just for that. To inform our members and people who visit us for their tech fix. Nothing else. Hell if aD was about that, then most of the "Sony haters" would probably say or be wondering why would "Oner" allow this since I have been pegged a "Sony Employee/Insider/Whatever" numerous times. So please refrain from making unsupported/inaccurate statements like that about us. TY

Well, that genuinely is a relief. I must say. I want to be more positive Oner but it's still early days.
Identity theft is still a concern.

Well that's good to hear.

And I too 100% agree, as it is still just too early to be that naive & ignorant.

Only when you're being reasonable. :P
Actually, I've agreed with you a number of times recently. You just need to get out your magnifying glass. ;)

So what good does it do if Sony buy back the stolen DB? It's not like that's the only copy or something... Hmmm, the part about reports of unauthorized charges is disturbing.
Peace!

Haha, cheers Plaz.
@Oner,
yeah, there will be a lot of unsubstantiated media fear mongering going on. But the worst thing is that I doubt that we'll ever get to the bottom of it. The Banks like to keep mum on any infiltrations, for example. Sony pretended it was doing maintenance till it publicly went on for so long that they had to make some sort of statement. (Actually several it seems... some of them conflicting.) By that time the Wall Street Journal seemed to be breathing down their necks.
Maybe Four Corners will do a report someday...
With a bit of luck these hackers don't have a farm of jailbroken PS3s mining the codes yow! lol.
