Really with both sony and microsoft would die so game developers could focus on releasing PC games.

Now that a good PC doesn't cost 1000$... consoles have no purpose but to hold gaming back.

As predicted, the lawsuits have started. The first lawsuit against Sony was just filed:


http://news.cnet.com/8301-31021_3-20057921-260.html?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1_3-0-20
The suit was filed today on behalf of Kristopher Johns, 36, of Birmingham, Ala., in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. Johns accuses Sony of not taking "reasonable care to protect, encrypt, and secure the private and sensitive data of its users."

He also believes Sony took too long to notify him and other customers that their personal information had been exposed. Because of that, the complaint alleges, Sony did not allow its customers "to make an informed decision as to whether to change credit card numbers, close the exposed accounts, check their credit reports, or take other mitigating actions."

The lawsuit is asking for monetary compensation and free credit card monitoring, and is seeking class action status.

I would imagine sony is going to have to settle as it would seem they have no defense whatsoever.

I would just say never trust a hacker in any case. Who knows will they change their mind in the future or not. Better safe than sorry later.

Yours and the personal info of 77 million other people. It's not a pleasant thought, but honestly, what would anyone do with that quantity of information?

From what I gathered, they stored everything as plain-text.

As a developer this makes me facepalm on so many levels.

I'll be interested to see what the implications are for Sony internationally, given that here in the UK we have this little thing called the Data Protection Act which REQUIRES you to store sensitive data encrypted.


77 Million accounts means they had to have stored it in plain text.

Either way though cracking an encryption that most companies use is quite easy, they just wouldn't have access to all the accounts as quickly.

Right because you can say this with utter authority. I wouldn't trust anyone who has broken the law to not break it again, especially since a tremendous increase in personal wealth is easily within their grasp by selling the information. Please back yourself up with evidence to make such a claim.

reports of bank account / credit fraud are cropping up now:

http://vgn365.com/2011/04/26/psn-users-reporting-hundred-of-dollars-stolen-from-them/
A total of $300 was taken from my debit card on Saturday. However, my bank called me to notify me of a suspicious transaction and they confirmed it was indeed a fraudulent withdrawal. I’ve had to cancel my card and order a new one which the bank will transfer my previous account’s money into. The thing isI worry that many users who linked their bank accounts with their PSN account are in serious danger; I hope they all call their banks to immediately take action and prevent any fraudulent withdrawals.

Who the hell in their right mind would not worry that their credit card was stolen?

I'd guess that the people who stole the data is keeping up to date with the news and realize they would need to capitalize on the personal information now before it becomes obsolete.

With that much data floating around freely, it's very easy to abuse it. Sell it to 3rd companies? Check. Withdraw money? Check.

Damn Sony screwed themselves big time here.
