They could also be confusing "encryption" with "hashing". In any case, Sony clearly don't trust their "encryption" too much...

Sony blaming Anonymous or saying Anonymous were duped:

The online activism group Anonymous has denied insinuations by Sony that it was involved in the hacker breaches of the PlayStation Network (PSN) and Online Entertainment (SOE) systems in which between 77m and 100m personal details were stolen, and potentially as many credit card details.
The riposte was delivered in a letter published online soon after the corporation delivered a letter to US politicians in which it claimed that private investigators called in to examine the break-in had discovered a file entitled "Anonymous" and containing the words "We are Legion" - part of Anonymous's slogan.

Looking at the timeline.................
2 April: Anonymous, the online activist collective, begins Operation: Sony, a series of denial of service attacks on Sony websites that it says are in defence of free speech.
11 April: Sony announces the case has been settled out of court and that George Hotz has agreed to take down his website.
13 April: Anonymous says it will intensify its attacks and calls for a day of protest on 16 April. “In the eyes of the law, the case is closed, for Anonymous it is just beginning… prepare for the biggest attack you have ever witnessed, Anonymous style,” it says in a video message.
16 April: Hackers break in to Sony Online Entertainment, the firms PC gaming service and steal 25 million users’ personal details. Around 23,400 European users’ credit card or direct debit details may also have been taken.
17 April: Hackers break in to the PlayStation Network and steal 77 million users’ personal details.
19 April: Sony detects the PlayStation Network breach.
20 April: Sony shuts down the PlayStation Network, publicly citing technical problems.
26 April: Sony publicly discloses the PlayStation Network breach and says it has called in the FBI.
1 May: Investigators discover the breach of Sony Online Entertainment and Sony shuts it down. Separately, Japanese Sony executives bow in apology for the PlayStation Network breach.
2 May: Sony publicly discloses the Sony Online Entertainment breach.
4 May: Kazuo Hirai, Sony’s chairman, tells a US Congressional committee that the hackers left a calling card implicating Anonymous. Investigators found a file named “Anonymous” with the motto “We are Legion. He also says the collectives denial of service attacks made it easier for the hackers to breach security.
“Security teams were working very hard to defend against denial of service attacks, and that may have made it more difficult to detect this intrusion quickly - all perhaps by design,” Mr Hirai says.
4 May: A press release purporting to come from Anonymous denies credit card theft but does not directly deny hacking Sony’s systems or stealing personal data.
“We are trying to fight criminal activities by corporations and governments, not steal credit cards,” it says.
.........Anonymous would naturally be prime suspects IMO!

This thing just gets worse and worse for Sony, how many days now have PS3 owners not been able to play online? If xbox live goes down for a day it feels like a week given how often people play, can't imagine many gamers being happy with a week or two of downtime...
whats the score with this now is it still down? the psn doesant let you change ya username so does that mean i have to make another account again? loosing all progress with my curent account?
and why did 'legion/anon' or whoever it was decide to attack sony anyway? just to proove they could or some kinda personal beef?
If sony cant handle the task of keeping sensitive data out of the hands of theives they shouldant ask for so fuckin much of it.

Wow. Ive never known any gamer who would turn down getting laid for playing!
Wish they'd just sort it out already.
The longer I can't kill faceless peeps online, the more I want to do it for real.
I didn't realise quite how addicted I am to Black Ops...
On the plus side, my face has felt the unusual warmth of the sun for the last couple of weeks, so I guess that's a bonus.
That's the only reason they caught Dust Bin Laden, cos the SEALs had a bit of free time with no CoD to play!

Sony's billing systems are still operational. Money is being taken from subscriber accounts despite the product/services being suspended.
