The customer data service is run in Japan, by Sony. This is why users worldwide were hit. The actual in-country play servers didn`t have a problem. It was where they stored customer information - in Japan.
The hackers may have figured out how to access the information by messing with local bits of the network, but the actual hacking was done to the server in Japan. The server where they didn`t bother with much of any security.
