So did I finally, I'm not worried. I'll delete any junk email I receive regarding PSN.

If I ever watched more than a couple shows at a time, I'd consider hulu plus. For now, I'm happy with amazon prime.

You'd be surprised at the number of sites you're registered to that store all your information as plain text. It's pretty common and you can do nothing about it because you will never know.

No. Most open source projects hash all passwords (because everyone can see how it's coded nobody wants it to be insecure if they want to use it).

CC info on most sites isn't stored, it's just processed and then validated.

Although hashing passwords isn't particularly safe anymore, all basic hashing methods can be cracked really easily.

Still hackable. All you need is a pretty powerful computer, CUDA and some time and even a SHA-2 (which is just SHA-256, 384 and 512) can be hacked down.

Most sites still use MD5 or SHA1.

Regardless of how 1337 your encryption is, 99% of the it boils down to a key insider. Its pretty sad if the site or any component of the psn were anywhere were in line of site of a physical data store. Bad access control tbh.

This is true and probably won't ever really get better due to the simple nature that if you keep some data in ANY obscured form and need to it to transform back in a fast, automated fashion, you'll have a single weak point.

I had seen some one say it would have been better if the CC details were stored on each Playstation device itself and only transmitted/used when needed. Would cause some other small issues, but wouldn't leave a central weak point. (I wish web systems had such an advantage.)
