Sony All Baloney

Here's a good one: Big Show Bidnis, helpless pitiful giant that can't help itself w/o interference from the nanny state:
The news came the same day that Sony brought the Sony PlayStation store back online after a separate massive hack, and appeared on Capitol Hill to say there was no "clear evidence" that hackers accessed credit card information on its PlayStation Network. The company, however, said it and other tech companies are vulnerable to future attacks absent any action from Congress.
No computing expert we, but wouldn't this sort of activity be less harmful if companies like Sony encrypted the apparently-quite-easy-to-obtain info of its customers?

Just what action can Congress take, besides mumbling something about the Internet being a series of tubes through which trucks are driven?
