A recently filed class action lawsuit against Sony claims that prior to the PlayStation Network hacking, the company laid off a significant number of the network security team.
Gamasutra obtained a copy of the complaint and posted several of its key allegations.
"Sony sought to cut its costs at the expense of its customers by terminating a significant number of employees immediately prior to the security breach, including personnel responsible for maintaining the security of the network," reads the complaint.
The lawsuit cites several confidential witnesses, one of which says that Sony "spent lavishly" to protect its own PS DevNetwork development server "but recklessly declined to provide adequate protections for its customers' personal information."
