I'm sorry for Sony's employees who had personal data stolen...

... but I'm not sorry about Sony-the-company-itself. I still remember the PITA that was removing the Sony rootkit from client's machines back then. It seems that getting almost scott free from that crime blunder gave management a sense of invincibility regarding security issues. "Why bother expending money in good security? If we could pull out of the rootkit scandal unscathed, we can do as we fucking please".

I hope the shareholders pull out their fingers and fix the situation, starting by removing several of the topmost management layers.
