They only talk about the unencrypted credit card data available to the console, not to PSN. This chat happened weeks before whoever gained access into PSN's network. Basically the same thing as pointing out the flaws in someone storing their passwords in a plain text file on their desktop. It isn't secure, but you'd have to get access to the single machine before you could get anywhere else.

I agree. This isn't much for "news".

I am, however, curious on the repercussions of the current hack of other services tied to the PSN network, like Netflix, that aren't directly gaming related. Do you think it will make companies give pause to developing dedicated clients for 3rd party services on game consoles that rely on the manufacturer of the console to maintain a network outside of the 3rd parties control?
