Sony under siege by Anonymous

"Oh hey guys, I left a stack of 100 dollars bills on the street and someone took it"
"You're not to blame, the one who took it is"

Seriously, leaving your servers unprotected on a major company with loads of important information that many groups of people could be interested is not right. They CAN do it, but they are still to blame for the hacking.

But the thing is there's a standard security you have to have to even deal with credit cards. You don't blame the company for that, you blame the standards that, assuming, are minimum of having at a federal level. So no, it isn't like they just took a bunch of info, put it on a desktop folder saying "CUSTOMER INFO". If the security is inadequate, then they were misinformed as the federal standard is set by, well the government. So you either conced that the security throughout the country is inferior, or that sony is just getting beat on like a dead horse for adhearing to federal standard.
