Earlier this week we reported that following 5 days of downtime, Sony had finally confirmed the reason behind the PSN outage, sparking outrage from concerned gamers. Sony said hackers had stolen PSN account info, forcing the company to shut down PSN and Qriocity as it rebuilds its services.
Today, the first lawsuit over the breach has surfaced, filed on the behalf of Kristopher Johns of Alabama.
Johns is accusing Sony "of not taking reasonable care to protect, encrypt, and secure the private and sensitive data of its users." SourceI don't have PSN so I'm not really effected either which way but I know a couple of people here uses PSN and I'm wondering, do you think the lawsuit is justified?

I say yeah. This incident makes me glad I don't have a PSN account.

Meh, what they gonna take from me? I don't have my new home address on my psn, my email is my main one as shown on here, but it's not the same password. But if I lose online data progress I'd really be pissed... I worked to hard on modern warfare 2 just to start over...

Not if the person suing and the majority of those who got their personal data stolen was stupid enough to use the same password on everything. I NEVER use the same password twice.
