So remember a few months back when Sony said how they were “loving the way they lose your data”?
Well, they’ve now also gone on record saying that they’re “all good” from a security standpoint:

Post-90s hackers; tbd how Apple, with its ambitious Game Center strategy, will be treated by the hacker community
Some hackers can wreak havoc with gaming consoles and the systems connecting them, as Sony (SNE) learned after cyberattacks on the PlayStation network led to the theft of data on more than 100 million accounts. Hackers targeted Sony in April in retaliation for the company’s effort to keep programmers from tinkering with its PlayStation 3. The incident may cost about 14 billion yen ($173 million).
