A new class-action lawsuit filed against Sony in the wake of the massive PlayStation Network/Qriocity breach alleges that the company protected its proprietary information but failed to properly safeguard data related to its customers.

The suit (PDF), filed on behalf of plaintiffs Paul Geller, Stuart Davidson and Mark Dearman, who were among the 77 million victims of the breach, claims Sony failed in a number of areas to adequately prevent the incident.

Among the allegations, citing "confidential witnesses cooperating in this investigation," are that Sony failed to install a permanent firewall on the PlayStation Network and that it knew its security was weak because it had experienced "smaller" hacks prior to the big one.
