Sony fined £250k over 'preventable' PSN hack
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) stated that the attack was preventable, and that there was "no disguising that Sony is a business that should have known better".
Sony is now preparing an appeal, in order to reverse the ruling.
"PlayStation Europe notes that the ICO recognises Sony was the victim of 'a focused and determined criminal attack' and that 'there is no evidence that encrypted payment card details were accessed', and that 'personal data is unlikely to have been used for fraudulent purposes'."
Sony chief executive, Kaz Hirai apologized for the security breach one month after the attack brought the entire network down.

Centurial If this happens with the PS4 they really need to do something.
I am sure that they're updating their security for the PS4 as if they don't, and this sort of things occur again, then they will be in a lot of trouble.

Tollphlegm Hopefully this doesn't occur again with the PS4!
Don't be surprised as they probably wont upgrade there security
I actually think they will upgrade security, they've probably learned from their mistakes. They lost a lot of money from that mistake, they don't want to do it again.
