The problem is, even with the best anti-hacking technology, the weakest link is the human computer user. In the Sony case, the hackers got hold of an employee ID and password, probably by using a phishing scam. As long as employee users keep clicking on emails and links at work with disregard, these things are going to happen.
that's the thing. it's a weak security system and lax security practices. a more robust approach would be having an authenticator device for password.
it's a small device that you carry with you and the code changes every few minutes. you have to press a button to see the code.
google and even World of Warcraft do provide this kind of service for anybody.
