Sony's network has been compromised something like a half dozen times over the last decade or so. They can't seem to secure their systems. Bad behavior aside, it's probably not a good idea to give them any sensitive information.

Ok, I never got this one. What exactly is that supposed to achieve?
Probably because they tend to work on a honor system and are generally well behaved. I think the subconscious idea is "Why would people try to hack the system? It is wrong", because they wouldn't do it themselves, the threat is like an alien concept.
It works in a day-to-day life. In fact, it is a very pleasant experience and often one of the top things people say when you ask them what the like about Japan. But for IT security where the threat can come out of anywhere, it doesn't work.
