Well, from what I read, they got hacked because they had little to no
security at all. (Specifically, somebody got access to their wireless
network because it was WEP, and then the traffic on that network was
completely unencrypted so they could just do whatever they wanted...)
While I imagine it's probably WPA and they probably put in a few
firewalls and a little authentication, I sorely doubt that any company
who failed to see what a spectacularly insecure system they'd built in
the first place would know how to *properly* secure their systems.
