We have been impacted by two of these hacks (Playstation Network and Adobe). I use a password manager to generate random passwords for most sites. With this and the extend of online spying/wiretapping I am now seriously starting to reconsider the use of online services. Let alone 'offline software' that requires you to create an online account.
Adobe and Sony are nice targets when it comes to prestige. But there is a lot more low-hanging fruit - smaller organisations that have far worse security, but troves of interesting information.
Of course, it was easy to see all of this coming, but convenience usually gets the upper hand, and many people have ended up distributing more of their private information than they wished.
