Sony, PSN, and timing

News is starting to make the rounds that Sony's PSN users had their personal info stolen nine days ago.
Sony: Your PSN Personal Info Was Stolen Nine Days Ago

Most people are now thinking NINE @#$%ING DAYS!!!

The wording Sony is using is fairly vague, nothing sounds concrete. This is most likely because they don't know for sure. I suspect it took them nine days to release this news because they spent the first five days running around in an utter panic waiving their hands in the air.

I'm not going to pick on Sony for being broken into, this happens. Even the best networks in the world have flaws. Nothing is perfect. Given how long it's taken them to respond, they probably didn't have a proper incident handling plan. It's easy to see security as a useless cost until you need it, then it looks pretty cheap.

Someday, you too will be compromised. What will you do when it happens?
