My Outlandish PSN Hack Theory.

This, like all the others going around, is entirely speculation. But,
like all the others going around, I hope this makes the most sense...
vanity's a b****. T_T

It all started when Japan was hit with the earthquake that "shook the
world" in a sense, and caused so much damage, even Sony admitted they
took a bad hit:

Perhaps this damage extended to SCEI's HQ, where the main PSN servers
are at. This might have been the exploit the hackers have been
waiting for, to hit them hard:

Now, due to this attack, SCE has decided to rebuild the PSN security
from the ground up:
