The more people push this the more I want Sony Execs on trial for insecurely storing and transmitting my data. I trusted them with my information and that is the end of it. The only reason the people were able to do what they did was because sony was cutting corners. I have nothing invested in the hackers but pressing the issue makes me want to stand against Sony because I don't think it's fair that Sony as the custodian of my online account data was negligible and can walk away free of criminal charges while the people who are responsible in the end for getting the process started of making changes to fix the problems. They engaged in a criminal act and have been sentenced. A company that makes as much money as Sony does to do such an irresponsible thing is worse than a couple of people on keyboards. Sony is the ROOT cause of the problem.
In relation to a previous comparison here in this post...if you were to get your home burglarized it is a crime where you are the victim...if you have a firearm in your domicile and it is not secured safely and it get's used in a crime you may then become a criminal party. With great power comes great responsibility.
What do I expect from hackers...to hack things.
What do I expect from a large company which I have invested in and trust with my personal info...for them to not violate a trust that can cost me ...especially something like my identity.
Q: What is PCI?
A: The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of requirements designed to ensure that ALL companies that process, store or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment. Essentially any merchant that has a Merchant ID (MID).
The Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) was launched on September 7, 2006 to manage the ongoing evolution of the Payment Card Industry (PCI) security standards with focus on improving payment account security throughout the transaction process. The PCI DSS is administered and managed by the PCI SSC (www.pcisecuritystandards.org), an independent body that was created by the major payment card brands (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and JCB.).
It is important to note, the payment brands and acquirers are responsible for enforcing compliance, not the PCI council.
A copy of the PCI DSS is available here.

Q: To whom does PCI apply?
A: PCI applies to ALL organizations or merchants, regardless of size or number of transactions, that accepts, transmits or stores any cardholder data. Said another way, if any customer of that organization ever pays the merchant directly using a credit card or debit card, then the PCI DSS requirements apply.
