Sony's E3 conference duration is legit since a lot of gaming sites report it to be 5 hours as well. They better serve the attendees drinks, snacks, and an easy access restroom, lol.

any bets if PSN will be up by E3?

heard from friend that Sony showcase is gonna be like 5 hrs. how long is a typical company showcase in E3?


you mean their press conference? usually like 2 hours. where did he hear this from?


http://www.computerandvideogames.com/302957/sony-e3-press-conference-to-last-5-hours/

dunno how credible this site is. just snipped it from a conversation from a friend of mine who follows this shit way more than i do


wow that seems pretty legit, although probably like the article says, a lot of that could be non press conference stuff at the end (either just a party or whatever for press or letting them have hands-on time with game demos).

IMO, the US government is behind it. they are taking the heat of major companies such as BP and also removing a lot of heat off obama. i have no proof of this allegation, but this wouldn't be the 1st time the US successfully used the media to redirect attention off themselves.

they accomplished all that by killing osama....and americans have already pretty much forgotten about BP, especially after BP got smart and stopped airing adds singing their own praises.

It looks as if the PSN is back up in Japan now because I can log in with my Japanese account again.

Store is still down for both Australia and Japan though.

Hopefully the store will be back up soon. Japan coming back online is a good sign

If there is one thing I understand from this it is this that do not use your credit card details on there servers or when you make an account. Because the amount of times that they have been hacked it is not even funny and instead of trying to fix it (they prolly tried a bit and stuff) they went on blaming this one and that one, mainly anonymous.

I have seen top level information security experts who have offered Sony their services but to no response.

PS Store is back up as well now, but I can't find my free games, and also when I try to download something from the PS plus thing, it says I'm not a member. Is it only me that have these problems?

Sony hacked, once again. Once and for all. See the Twitter feed of the attacker at @LulzSec


Additional information provided here from their source:
http://lulzsecurity.com/releases/sownage_PRETENTIOUS PRESS STATEMENT.txt

Greetings folks. We're LulzSec, and welcome to Sownage. Enclosed you will
find various collections of data stolen from internal Sony networks and websites,
all of which we accessed easily and without the need for outside support or money.

We recently broke into SonyPictures.com and compromised over 1,000,000 users'
personal information, including passwords, email addresses, home addresses,
dates of birth, and all Sony opt-in data associated with their accounts.
Among other things, we also compromised all admin details of Sony Pictures
(including passwords) along with 75,000 "music codes" and 3.5 million "music coupons".

Due to a lack of resource on our part (The Lulz Boat needs additional funding!)
we were unable to fully copy all of this information, however we have samples
for you in our files to prove its authenticity. In theory we could have taken
every last bit of information, but it would have taken several more weeks.

Our goal here is not to come across as master hackers, hence what we're about
to reveal: SonyPictures.com was owned by a very simple SQL injection, one of
the most primitive and common vulnerabilities, as we should all know by now.
From a single injection, we accessed EVERYTHING. Why do you put such faith in
a company that allows itself to become open to these simple attacks?

What's worse is that every bit of data we took wasn't encrypted. Sony stored
over 1,000,000 passwords of its customers in plaintext, which means it's just
a matter of taking it. This is disgraceful and insecure: they were asking for it.

This is an embarrassment to Sony; the SQLi link is provided in our file contents,
and we invite anyone with the balls to check for themselves that what we say
is true. You may even want to plunder those 3.5 million coupons while you can.

Included in our collection are databases from Sony BMG Belgium & Netherlands.
These also contain varied assortments of Sony user and staffer information.

Follow our sexy asses on twitter to hear about our upcoming website. Ciao! ^_^

Are they the guys who hacked PSN in the first place? (did they admit it?) Or do they just happen to have gotten access to the leaked data?

Couldn't really care if "lulzsec" hacked it again as long as it's up.

AFAIK no personal information taken has been used at all, no reported cases of money loss that could be linked to PSN hacking.
