PSN down, account details stolen

[Mr. Analog]

While I certainly have no love for Sony, exposing user's private information is not the best way to fight them. If anything it will lead to more retarded lawmaking.

More likely it means that some developers will get paid way too much to write code that will still have vulnerabilities:

Bring on the ICE!  <-- Only makes sense if you've played Shadowrun...

I don't know about all these cyber-warrior programs, I mean all you have to do is shoot them with gold (at least, that's how it used to work on Dr. Who)

Grzelak doesn?t track how many visitors get bad news, and to prevent the data being misused, he only compiles one-way hashes of emails containing no personally-identifiable data.

LulzSec?s 50-day leaking spree marked a turning point for hackers as they increasingly sought to make a point instead of money: instead of selling their stolen user data for thousands of dollars on underground carding forums like the now defunct DarkMarket, or through shady e-merchants, they posted them online in a bid to attract media attention and embarrass their targets.

This meant people?s data was, for once, relatively easy to find. LulzSec would sometimes post their stolen data as text on web tool Pastebin, or upload it as a torrent on file-sharing sites like The Pirate Bay. For Grzelak, it was just a matter of collecting it all in one place.
