Tbh I'm kinda amazed Sony hasn't gotten fucked in court due to their negligence yet.

Their security is really effective when they want it to be. For an example, afaik the DRM they use for theater DCPs has never been cracked. It took 4 yrs for the PS5 to get jailbroken and even then you can't jailbreak the newest firmware yet. The ps4's newest firmware has just been cracked, and so on.

They can make their consoles secure enough that it takes a while to crack them despite being literally, physically in the hands of hackers, yet they can't keep their cloud data secure to save their lives.

The difference is that the firmware presents a tiny attack surface. You can't social-engineer machine code, or use an unsecured access point to gain entry.
