Stolen Pixels #256: The E-Pology

ITT: People completely missing the point.
The reason why people are mad at Sony is NOT because they got hacked, but because Sony has taken a vow to protect your personal info that you gave them so you could buy their goods. However now that that information is with the hackers, Sony has broken that vow. This is why people are mad at Sony. Hackers are still bad and all, but Sony is also a bad guy here.

Serious question: ITT? Internet Troll... Trolling? or what is it? Can you please explain?

Also I guess I can understand your logic, they are the bad guys because they were robbed of the information they had to protect.

So a bank teller is the bad guy when robbed point-blank because he failed to protect the money that was under his/her care?

Ok I guess I can understand it. But not really. Look, I don't mean to sound rude and all but it's my point of view on the matter.
For me #1: GeoHotz was wrong... He had all the right to hack his PS3 but not post the system root key online because that's Sony's intellectual property.
#2: We (PSN users) are the victims of the PSN hack, not Sony. But they are not responsible. The hackers who perpetrated the robbery are.
#3: Sony has been doing a lot from my point of view as an outsider. We know next to nothing about the exact details about the hack that took place. And yet everyone is talking like they're experts.

Still this is the Internet, everyone blurts out their opinions as facts (Such as I'm doing now).

Sorry for the late response.

Also, if you would let a babysitter babysit your child (if you have one that is), and you would lose him, or some creepy guy would have lured him away or kidnapped him. Who would you blame? Ofcourse, that creepy guy is horrible for doing such thing, but the babysitter was the one who had to protect that baby. You would ofcourse be mad at him/her. This is the same with Sony. They promised they would take good care with your personal information, and they didn't. They didn't lose it on purpose, but they were still the ones who were responsible for keeping it from hackers.

I've been checking the email address associated with my account...still no apology, still no code for identity theft protection, nothing since the 27th...they didn't even bother to email me that my SOE account was hacked (yes, I checked the spam filter).

If they are going to go through the motions and not actually do anything, they could at least bother to go through the motions completely.
