2. We discovered that the intruders had planted a file on one of our Sony Online Entertainment servers named “Anonymous” with the words “We are Legion.” lol? No third party confirmation, I would guess? | ||

PlayStation Plus premium subscription service; 30 days of free service for Music Unlimited subscribers; and extending PlayStation Plus and Music Unlimited subscriptions for the number of days services were unavailable." I'm a little curious if by U.S account holders they mean everyone in the entire freaking world cause it was more then just the U.S that was affected by this... | ||

Credit Card theft was international numbers. They probably have different announcements by region. That response makes sense because its before the US senate. | ||

Doesnt really matter for some of us (thank you consumer protection laws). If parts of the EULA are not legitimate then those parts of the EULA are not legitimate. And acting careless with the private data from users is well... problematic for them  | ||

Not sure, but in that case, Anon should hit Microsoft.. because they ban hacker xbox's like noone I've ever seen before. I don't really feel that Sony is that adamant about hackers. It seems like Microsoft cracks down more, so you'd assume that the hackers would be angrier about them instead lol. | ||

--- no, sony deserves to be held accountable for this. you would still sue the bank if you gave them money to hold and then someone broke in and stole all the money and you cant get your money back. | ||

I think using payments online is a risk you have to be willing to take and accept if it gets compromised. I am thankful however for the 30 plus membership and will gladly take advantage of it. That's like saying I left my car unlocked in my neighbor with a laptop on the passenger seat, and its not my fault the laptop was stolen. Network security and private data is important, more important than most companies think. In a way, it's good that these things happen because in the end it will lead to better security. When you decide to store private data like that you also take on the responsibility of protecting that data to some extent. Its unlucky that it happened to them and not one of the other companies with weak security policies, but I would hardly feel bad for Sony. Plus with their recent shit toward hackers, karma is a bitch. | ||

A funny synopsis from 2chan ソニー「Linux(OS)乗せてPS3をコンピューターに見せかければ、関税安くてボロ儲けだお！」 ↓ Linuxにセキュリティーホールが見つかる ↓ ソニー「勝手ですが、Linuxは好評につき終了しました。」 →ユーザー激怒、集団訴訟へ ↓ ソニー「実は購入いただいたPS3は、ソニーのレンタル品扱いなのです。だからどうしようと私たちの勝手なのですよ。」 ↓ ハッカーがクラックしてLinuxを使えるように。その際、セキュリティ上、致命的な鍵(ルートキー)発見 ↓ ハッカー「教えるから、Linux戻して、お願い」 ソニー「うっせバカ、訴訟だ」 訴訟提起 結果、全世界のハッカーを敵に回す ↓ ネットワーク障害発生 ソニー「アノニマスのせいに違いない！訴えるわ」 アノニマス「俺らなにもしてないんだけど…じゃあ終わったらホントに攻撃するわ」 ↓ 何者かがクレカ情報抜いちゃった ↓ ついでにSOEもやられちゃった ↓ ソニー、米下院の公聴会での証言を拒否 ←今ここ Sony: If we load Linux onto the PS3 and make it appear like a computer, the tariffs are lower and we'll make bank! ↓ Security hole discovered in Linux ↓ Sony: Due to popular demand, we have decided to discontinue Linux. --> Users are furious, heads to class action. ↓ Sony: The PS3's you bought are actually considered Sony rental equipment - so we can do whatever the hell we want. ↓ Hacker cracks PS3 so Linux can be used. During the process, he discovers a root key. ↓ Hacker: I'll tell you the root key info, so please give us Linux back. Sony: FU, we're going to sue you. Files legal stuff, antagonizes hackers worldwide ↓ Network issues happen Sony: It's because of Anonymous! We're going to sue! Anonymous: We haven't done anything... fine, we'll really attack you once this is over ↓ Someone steals credit card info ↓ SOE is also compromised ↓ Sony refuses to testify @ Congress <-- current LOL Why are these companies so bad at this game. | ||

As for the "karma" bullshit, what? You are saying Sony isn't justified in fighting these assholes? | ||
