> [..]and skilled enough to be hired at Sony (presumably in IT)[..]
As I see it, after the three (if Im not mistaken) last successful attacks at Sony, I wouldn't say they're skilled _enough_. Not even skilled basically.
Again, as I see it, it's Sony's fault: after the first attack at playstation network, the least they could do is stop using plaintext files to store passwords.
But no. Second attack with the same results and now a third.
So no. They're not even close to be characterized as skilled (and that goes especially for the managers/whoever did not decide to leave the I-store-passwords-as-plaintext practice).
