As a software engineer I find myself shocked that Sony did not encrypt account information. This entire situation should never have happened, it's the equivalent of leaving a bank vault door open! Personal information should never be stored in plain text.

I don't know how a company so big with a database of millions could take such risks.

I don't think there's a good enough excuse. We should guard our privacy.

Some people are simply not to be trusted...not only individuals that you may come into contact with but especially Governments and big businesses...they look after themselves and don't care enough about others.
