Uh, no. No one hacked Sony for that specific reason. Anonymous backed up Geohot when he was sued, but they didn't hack the PSN. All they did was crash it. Somewhere, in between the crash, someone took advantage of situation. Someone not affiliated with the suing of the hacker Geohot.
Either way, it doesn't matter. Sony was arrogant and now they're paying a price for it.

I'll never understand why people like to make declarations about someone's reasoning, despite having no actual way of knowing.
That said, I stopped following PSN story awhile ago and am surprised to learn it was down for this long.

Oh that's a lot to read >.< I get the gist of what happened, though, and it's good to see that PSN will be coming back up. My head hurts just looking at the 14 updates, so could some kind sir enlighten me as to whether our accounts are secure now? Or does it not matter because our information already been taken, etc.
Thanks!!

A lot of information have been taken from the hackers, but not sure how many has been taken... Hard to say if you or mines or people on TL information is taken or not...
But right now there is a update 3.61, which will want you to change your psn password... The network is getting up slowly and slowly, May 15 i think everything will go online, but PS store and Qurocity will not be online yet.
They added additional security, firewalls and other procedure to make sure they dont get attacked again.

Well this is great but shit, the hackers sure ruined it for people on psn, but now PSN is now more secured then before....

The original post (1st link underneath the bold) has a link to the map and it displays Canada ontop of the USA (except for NWT)
Not sure about EU I checked the EU blog and there is no such map listed :\

PSN said that they sent me an email, but it hasn't gotten to my email at all, even after like 15 + minutes. I've checked my junk folder and I've done the sign in--->it sends you email thing like 10 times lol. FYI my email wasnt hacked and this is my 1 and only ps3 ive used, so its not anything fishy like that. Normally I wouldn't care that much but I want to fucking play fucking Mortal fucking Kombat. Fucking.
Anyone else?
|
it took me a while to get that email, but it came eventually. PSN is back in the UK now, although the store itself is still down.

Mmm, no, this is actually a little naive. Sony isn't paying that much of a price, I mean, they are obviously, but there's a much larger implication that needs to be looked at. With no PSN, digital revenue from every gaming company has been 0$ since this happened. This isn't just sony that's affected, it's literally every company that has a stake in their online store. Which is a lot.
The hacking has done nothing positive, and has only hurt the gaming scene as a whole immensely. You really shouldn't be praising them, this isn't a good situation and the idea that in order to "Get sony back for this" impacting the market as a whole is childish and stupid.
All this has done is fucked everyone, even the customers. They didn't deserve it, we didn't deserve it, and the companies that are losing millions of dollars to keep producing what we fucking want them to produce to begin with didn't deserve it.

Not sure if this was mentioned before, but apparently SOE might have been hit by the same attack as well. If you have or ever had an Everquest 2, DC Universe etc. account, you might want to check the info on there.

This hack killed DCU. It's a shame because it is an awesome game that did not get the attention it deserved. Thanks hackers
|
is the network laggy in general? I'm playing mvc3 and the games are so laggy
|
|
|
wasnt only PSN that was hacked, sony online entertainment also 'leaked' all it's users personal information.
|
All I have to say is Sony, you mess with the bull (Geohotz) you get the horns (mysterious but epic hacker.)
