Well, I got the username! Now what? :) Despite the name, I don't agree with the release of such a big swathe of personal information, that doesn't help anyone. Then again, considering how Sony treats their community and their obvious lack of basic security, I don't feel sorry for them. I do feel sorry for the users caught up in this saga, though. Sure, LulzSec have full responsibility for their actions, but at least they're releasing the info to everybody - I'd much rather have my info in the public than have it stolen and used behind my back. I'm sure Sony are offering the ID theft protection to these users, too, but there's really little need for it as it would be fairly easy to show that your data was well-known in the public domain, therefore surely it'd be easier to prove your case if something did happen.
