If anyone would kindly explain to me just what the **** happened there, I’d be very grateful.

It looks like there was a vulnerability in the application server and that was exploited to pass a multitude of firewalls and access our PSN account information on the database server. Either way, it’s a lovely and colorful diagram and thanks to Sony for putting it on page 10 of the press booklet.
