Sony now has a HUGE bullseye on its back. The hacker/modder/cracker/homebrew communities have their sites on Sony for suing/cracking down on modding and homebrew hobbyists. Then they blamed Anon for the data theft (which it wasnt). Too bad they didn't just hire Hotz and other modders/hackers when they had the chance, that might have prevented some of this backlash. Unfortunately, Sony is mostly a hardware company, and doesn't usually hire hackers. Unlike MS, who regularly recruits hackers/modders/crackers from the white hat conferences, and those who come forward with exploits. MS pays them, and Sony sues them. Sony better get on board! Kiss and make up with these people somehow or this will get worse before it gets better.
