Sony hacked again...and why the bad guys keep winning this battle

Let's see, Sony was hacked about two months ago, was down for almost a month.   They potentially face millions, if not billions in lawsuits as a result.  They just got their system "fixed" and up and running and now it's been hacked AGAIN.  Seems somebody really doesnt like Sony or that their security is really, really bad.  Regardless, there have been a slew of data breaches over the past couple of months and you probably ask yourself, "how does this keep happening?"  The answers are many.  I found this article from Michael Horowitz from Computerworld that details many of the problems that make all this possible for hackers.  I'll just let you read it because the list is extensive.  Oh, I hope you don't have a Sony account...
