Long time since I used PS3 and PSN but I am sad to hear they and 77mil of people got pwn't by incompetence.

Anyway, I can't remember which info was required by PSN for account creation, standard stuff like Name, Country, Address, Mail? If that's the case, then hackers got information that is available on Facebook pages of most of those 77 mil of people.

CC info is different stuff tho.

On the bright side, once all this shit is done with it's all but guaranteed that Sony will be making sure they're massively more secure.

If anything, it's taking so long to come back up because the guys that are rebuilding the PSN are finding it hard to code quickly while constantly facepalming.

Of course wasn't Microsoft, Nintendo, or even a company within the industry. The shit storm that would happen if someone could prove it isn't even remotely worth the risk - especially since both of those companies are already beating Sony pretty handily at the moment.

aw my Cute PS3, so far the mail adress I use in the PSN is just for the PSN, and my password is different from the other, so I dont have to fear anything. But, thats sad, why Sony? ;_;. At least it will have one advantage massive security, and I dont think that it will harm the PS3 much, so far I know did they hack a few years ago the Xbox360 thing, too.

Just received an e-mail from sony about it, naam, adres (stad, provincie, postcode), land, e-mail adres, geboortedatum, PlayStation Network/Qriocity wachtwoord en login en gebruikersnaam/PSN online id.

so thats: name, adress ( city, province, postcode), country, e-mail, date of birth PSN pass and log in and PSN online ID.

This is not really a good argument for PC vs consoles because this could as well happen to any company selling stuff over the net. Hell just think aout WoW subscribers. Hackers could get that aswell. If blizzard had as bad security as PSN have that is. So yeah, support secure transactions and not Sony.

It's not a question of PC vs console, it's a question of monopoly. It's gray-area-illegal and should not be supported.

thing that i find ironic is the people who deliberately didnt update firmware so they can run pirate wares on the console and circumvent the security, are all fine.

the only people screwed are actually the paying customers.

That's pretty much always the case, nothing new about it.

I'm not surprised this happened to Sony at all, anything connected to the internet is not secured. You can make it very secure and encrypt the data, but hackers can still get to that data. The thing that kills security teams in companies is phishing emails. With those simple phishing emails, they can then plant backdoors and traps to gain access into the employee's machine, then they can work there way up to get an admin password and etc.

A lot of people are being exposed right now and we will only see more. RSA was caught by a simple phishing attempt on their employees, Krogers got all their customer's names and emails stolen.....

The funny thing is people are reacting that it took Sony a week to find out what was stolen...

At the company I work at now, we still find traces of data that was stolen last year... The CERT team here was only started about 3 years ago, so they are still trying to go through thousands of servers. The company is starting to really invest in security, as they do realize we are having million dollar blueprints stolen from China and Russia.

Just woke up after 2 hours of shitty sleep to find this in my inbox:

+ Show Spoiler +
===================================

PlayStation(R)Network

===================================

Valued PlayStation(R)Network/Qriocity Customer:

We have discovered that between April 17 and April 19, 2011,
certain PlayStation Network and Qriocity service user account
information was compromised in connection with an illegal and
unauthorized intrusion into our network. In response to this
intrusion, we have:

1) Temporarily turned off PlayStation Network and Qriocity services;

2) Engaged an outside, recognized security firm to conduct a full
and complete investigation into what happened; and

3) Quickly taken steps to enhance security and strengthen our
network infrastructure by rebuilding our system to provide you
with greater protection of your personal information.

We greatly appreciate your patience, understanding and goodwill
as we do whatever it takes to resolve these issues as quickly and
efficiently as practicable.

Although we are still investigating the details of this incident,
we believe that an unauthorized person has obtained the following
information that you provided: name, address (city, state, zip), country,
email address, birthdate, PlayStation Network/Qriocity password and login,
and handle/PSN online ID. It is also possible that your profile data,
including purchase history and billing address (city, state, zip),
and your PlayStation Network/Qriocity password security answers may
have been obtained. If you have authorized a sub-account for your
dependent, the same data with respect to your dependent may have
been obtained. While there is no evidence at this time that credit
card data was taken, we cannot rule out the possibility. If you have
provided your credit card data through PlayStation Network or Qriocity,
out of an abundance of caution we are advising you that your credit
card number (excluding security code) and expiration date may have
been obtained.

For your security, we encourage you to be especially aware of email,
telephone and postal mail scams that ask for personal or sensitive
information. Sony will not contact you in any way, including by email,
asking for your credit card number, social security number or other
personally identifiable information. If you are asked for this information,
you can be confident Sony is not the entity asking. When the PlayStation
Network and Qriocity services are fully restored, we strongly recommend that
you log on and change your password. Additionally, if you use your PlayStation
Network or Qriocity user name or password for other unrelated services or
accounts, we strongly recommend that you change them as well.

To protect against possible identity theft or other financial loss, we
encourage you to remain vigilant, to review your account statements and
to monitor your credit reports. We are providing the following information
for those who wish to consider it:
- U.S. residents are entitled under U.S. law to one free credit report annually
from each of the three major credit bureaus. To order your free credit report,
visit www.annualcreditreport.com or call toll-free (877) 322-8228.

- We have also provided names and contact information for the three major U.S.
credit bureaus below. At no charge, U.S. residents can have these credit bureaus
place a "fraud alert" on your file that alerts creditors to take additional steps
to verify your identity prior to granting credit in your name. This service can
make it more difficult for someone to get credit in your name. Note, however,
that because it tells creditors to follow certain procedures to protect you,
it also may delay your ability to obtain credit while the agency verifies your
identity. As soon as one credit bureau confirms your fraud alert, the others
are notified to place fraud alerts on your file. Should you wish to place a
fraud alert, or should you have any questions regarding your credit report,
please contact any one of the agencies listed below:

Experian: 888-397-3742; www.experian.com; P.O. Box 9532, Allen, TX 75013
Equifax: 800-525-6285; www.equifax.com; P.O. Box 740241, Atlanta, GA 30374-0241
TransUnion: 800-680-7289; www.transunion.com; Fraud Victim Assistance Division,
P.O. Box 6790, Fullerton, CA 92834-6790

- You may wish to visit the website of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission at
www.consumer.gov/idtheft or reach the FTC at 1-877-382-4357 or 600 Pennsylvania
Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20580 for further information about how to protect
yourself from identity theft. Your state Attorney General may also have advice
on preventing identity theft, and you should report instances of known or
suspected identity theft to law enforcement, your State Attorney General,
and the FTC. For North Carolina residents, the Attorney General can be
contacted at 9001 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-9001; telephone
(877) 566-7226; or www.ncdoj.gov. For Maryland residents, the Attorney
General can be contacted at 200 St. Paul Place, 16th Floor, Baltimore, MD 21202;
telephone: (888) 743-0023; or www.oag.state.md.us.

We thank you for your patience as we complete our investigation of this
incident, and we regret any inconvenience. Our teams are working around the
clock on this, and services will be restored as soon as possible. Sony takes
information protection very seriously and will continue to work to ensure that
additional measures are taken to protect personally identifiable information.
Providing quality and secure entertainment services to our customers is
our utmost priority. Please contact us at 1-800-345-7669 should you have any
additional questions.

Sincerely,

Sony Computer Entertainment and Sony Network Entertainment


Meh....gonna be calling my bank later on to get my credit card changed now I guess. :/

You don't think one of them has their sticky fingers on the creditcard database?

They might 'fight' some good causes (love the Westboro and Scientology), but don't see all of them as complete saints. They're anonymously - with good comes bad.

Why is that? Despite the security breach (which is outrageous and they should be spanked for it) - hardware wise and in general the PS3 beats the Xbox still, I think.

Now this is nowhere near in this thread, so I'm just going to stop, but seriously.

Don't even.

It's not a question of PC vs console, it's a question of monopoly. It's gray-area-illegal and should not be supported.

I don't really see what that has with the topic to do then... and also it is a oligopoly not monopoly, which also is more or less the case for pc.
