everyone saying sony deserves this is just plain stupid
and everyone saying sony suing geohot was wrong is stupid too
its like a guy who breaks a lock of a store open and he doesnt steal anything
but after that thiefs go into the open store and steal everything
so the first guy helped the criminals
and helping criminals is a criminal act in itself
whatever his intent may have been im not saying you should go to jail for hacking a console but im saying you shouldnt be surprised if it happens its a risk you have to take
We have no clue if Geohot's hack even did have anything to do with the break in. Geohot's hack involved the PS3 and I highly doubt a PS3 was used to access Sony's servers but some sort of computer with very specifically written software just to steal data. The people who did this must have been very knowledgeable in security systems and such to be able to break in and go largely undetected for enough time to download all that personal information.

No I blame the hackers, but people keep saying that its only Sony's fault, if you want to blame Sony for everything then blame yourself for using their software.
