This couldn't have happened to a nicer company.  Really.  It just couldn't.

"Sony's advisory on Tuesday means that the company was likely storing 
passwords, credit card numbers, expiration dates, and other sensitive information 
unhashed and unencrypted on its servers."

If your protocol is successful, it will eventually be used for
purposes for which it was never intended, and its users will
criticize you for being shortsighted.              - Charlie Kaufman
