You guys are fukken naïve. "They're terrible people, stealing and releasing peoples personal information like that!" Oh yeah? Think about it from a different angle: if they would have simply hacked it again but not done anything, would this have had such an impact on people lives, would this have been so popular in the media? No, and that is, essentially, not a good thing, because if they would have just hacked it and told Sony, nothing would have fucking happened because Sony already got hacked and didn't bother improving their security. The only way to make them listen and do what needs to be done is to threaten the very core of their success: the PS3 users/owners. The fact that it happens so often now makes more and more people skeptical about buying a PS3. Of course, PS3=/=PSN, but keep in mind that the PSN is a pretty big source of greenbacks for Sony. Also, the fact that they're a bunch of /b/tards makes it all the more "enraging", while if they hadn't done anything with the information they would have probably been dismissed as "stupid kids".
"omg ppl's s3cret 1nfo bieng revealtd!!1! they shud be killd lol0l" you probably eat/ate meat that came from an animal that endured unimaginable amounts of pain in a factory farm just to provide for you, or you probably drive a car that emits toxic gases into the atmosphere, and you probably have some of your fecal matter currently floating, polluting the ocean. Personal identification information, pfff we have much bigger problems to worry about.
Also, hackers don't give a shit, if morales were an issue for them, Sony would not currently be naked on it's knees right now, choking on a massive, hairy black cock.
Fuck you all!
