Two things need to happen, one the folks that caused the system to go down should be prosecuted or Sony should hire them idiots to find the weakness in their network.

Sony wasn't hacked, before you start complaining know the difference. They suffered from a DDoS attack. In layman's terms they pinged the servers millions of times a second until the system overloaded and shut down (the same way old computers use to do if you ran too many things at once). You can't prevent this type of an attack. And as already mentioned the group did this to MS's servers first and then did it to Sony.
