Sony is not a Goliath. Sony is the old, senile neighbor shaking his fists as the kids throw stones at his windows.
They have a huge surface area to be targeted and very few people tasked with defending them, against god knows how many hackers that take joy in doing this. And it takes only one to wreak havoc, and they can only do something with the person after the damage is done.
This is true for most corporations with online presence, but Sony gave the hackers a reason to target them specifically.
As someone who doesn't own any Sony products and doesn't know or is in the groups making this madness, I can just sit back and enjoy some popcorn.
