Yeah I thoght something like this is what it would take to wake up the world of sony's complete disregard for security
I posted that this would happen about ten minutes ago
Is madshaun going to join in the suit lol and when will every psn consumer be asked by some law firm as to whether or not they want to join in a class action?

Remember when the PS3 still had OtherOS and was unhackable? Man, the good old days.
Now look at this mess. I just want to play MAG and Demon's Souls online again.
I guess I'm glad Sony didn't get away with taking Geohot out of the picture so that they could continue their reign of terror on hackers like graf just trying to re-enable Linux. My thanks to Kristopher Johns for fighting for us.

cool part about the complaint is this part...,.
Plaintiff is informed and believes that this breach of security was caused by SONY’s negligence in data security, including its failure to maintain a proper firewall and computer security system, failure to properly encrypt data, its unauthorized storage and retention of data,
Love to see Sony prove they did in fact do all of those things....
