While this response is a little late coming, Sony issued an official statement and declaration of policy when it comes to hackers. The wording is unsurprising:

Consumers using circumvention devices or running unauthorized or pirated software will have access to the PlayStation Network and access to Qriocity services through PlayStation 3 System terminated permanently.

To avoid this, consumers must immediately cease use and remove all circumvention devices and delete all unauthorized or pirated software from their PlayStation 3 systems.

In short: the banhammer is gassed up and ready to squash some nerds. They didn’t announce when full-scale enforcement would start (because that would be stupid), but it won’t be long.
