What is SONY doing to protect Playstation Users after being Hacked

Six days after a security breach of its PlayStation Network, Sony said Tuesday that the incursion was much worse than expected and hackers had obtained personal information on 70 million subscribers.
The company, in a blog entry posted Tuesday afternoon, added it is still unsure if the intruder also obtained credit card data for members who have that on file with the service, which provides online functionality for the PlayStation 3.
“Although we are still investigating the details of this incident, we believe that an unauthorized person has obtained the following information that you provided: name, address (city, state, zip), country, email address, birthdate, PlayStation Network/Qriocity password and login, and handle/PSN online ID,” wrote Patrick Seybold, senior director of corporate communications for Sony Computer Entertainment America. “It is also possible that your profile data, including purchase history and billing address … and your PlayStation Network/Qriocity password security answers may have been obtained. … While there is no evidence at this time that credit card data was taken, we cannot rule out the possibility.”
My question now is “what is SONY doing to protect users information?”, in this attack, we’ve learned that emails have been going out to Playstation users with a series of bogus email ids and requesting the Playstation users to add that specific email address to their contact list. However, Anonymous denies responsibility for this incident, saying on its site, “While it could be the case that other Anons have acted by themselves, AnonOps was not related to this incident and does not take responsibility for whatever has happened.”
while PlayStation users get anxious to resume online gaming, they’re eager to understand whether PlayStation could have done something earlier to prevent such an attack.
