> the data center has been moved to an undisclosed location

I fail to see the importance of physically moving the servers. What value is this ? Was the attack an inside job with physical access ?

I never saw anything to suggest that it was, so I believe it simply makes them feel good. Also, undisclosed location is very suspect. How long will it take to traceroute it and find the nearest Level3/other major company node's location, therefore the probable location of Sony's servers.

Of course, to your average user "we've moved the datacenter to prevent attacks" looks pretty good.

I don't think anybody old enough to care about their personal info really falls for that.

I would like to think that, but have you ever tried to read the comments on Sony's blog. They love Sony and I'm sure Sony likes to encourage _that_.

I fail to see importance of most steps that are outlined in the article. Things like "Implementation of additional firewalls" are just technobabble for their fans: "Look, we are doing something!"
