Sir Howard Stringer, the British boss of Sony, has finally gone public on the PlayStation Network hack with an open letter to Sony customers. Curiously, he decides to conflate the earthquake and tsunami that recently hit Japan with the security breach.

However, he does, at least, finally put his name to an apology for the continuing PlayStation Network downtime. He says: “As a company we – and I – apologise for the inconvenience and concern caused by this attack. Under the leadership of Kazuo Hirai, we have teams working around the clock and around the world to restore your access to those services as quickly, and as safely as possible.”
