Someone mentioned security was between &quot;horribly broken&quot; and &quot;totally laughable&quot;. Of course that&apos;s always juicy to read, but I wonder how true it is.&lt;p&gt;If this endless list of penetration is any sort of barometer, it looks to be true.&lt;p&gt;I&apos;ll be curious what the global fallout of this is. I would hate to be the next company that does something socially unacceptable that gets the baton passed to them from Sony.</text></comment>

Probably were under staffed and ignored for a long time and now are under a terrible pressure.</text></comment>
