Now that Sony has dropped its trousers and admitted that hackers may have access to the personal info of countless PlayStation Network users, the bad PR has snowballed like crazy. The news has gone mainstream, with FOX News and CNBC both jumping on the story. Meanwhile, CNN.com has the story on the frontpage.

More interestingly, Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal is furious with Sony, and has written to Jack Tretton demanding to know why consumers were not fully informed of the details surrounding the PSN's downtime.

"Although the breach occurred nearly a week ago," wrote Blumenthal, "Sony has not notified customers of the intrusion, or provided information that is vital to allowing individuals to protect themselves from identity theft, such as informing users whether their personal or financial information may have been compromised."
