Password and data not encrypted- Checked. Credit card info and date encrypted - Checked. I don't think Sony is to blame for this. Blame government. They were just ahead in what will be standard privacy regulations. http://yro.slashdot.org/story/11/04/07/0212222/France-Outlaws-Hashed-Passwords | ||

This is why any system that funnels everything through one point is retarded. </rant> Anyway, anybody who tries to defend Sony by saying "Well the hackers did it not much Sony could do" Sony did the equivalent of setting the info written on post-its next to an open window in an office if the rumors are true and Sony stored the info in plaintext. They dun goofed, and I hope they pay. | ||

This is only a small problem, Sony has the tools and money to fix it, we just all have to be patient. this right here is a major fan boyish comment (unless trolling) , this is a complete shitstorm not a small problem... sure they have the money/tools to fix it...but is it really necessary when all they had to do was to actually secure there shit? | ||

People are not going to trust the network now with any sort of important data, so unless Sony finds a new path completely, they're in big trouble. Plus there is a lot of anger about their incompetence. Next generation when people see an Xbox with mostly the same cross platform games, a Nintendo with whatever it does, and a ps4 that's basically an Xbox + bad memories of a faceless corporation not even encrypting your personal info, sitting on known vulnerabilities for months, and then waiting a week to notify customers of the attack. What would you buy? Well, I was gonna say that I don't know about "out of business', that might even be assuming too much will come out of this, but if you're right about putting everything onto the network, Sony's in one hefty heap of shit. It'd be an icy cold day in hell before I'd trust the network now, especially if everything will one day connect to the network. Back to the drawing board for Sony executives, I suppose. | ||

Hackers Claim to have 2.2 Million Credit Cards w/ CVVs Kevin Stevens, a security analyst with Trend Micro, said in a tweet that "the hackers that hacked PSN are selling off the DB [database]. They reportedly have 2.2m credit cards with CVVs" - the latter being the three-figure number required for "card not present" transactions. Stevens doesn't know this for a fact, but if you haven't cancelled your shit/changed your passwords yet. Please do. edit: my mistake, this was posted a page back by monx. | ||

It asks for it the first time you enter your credit card # as well as its expiry date. The first page of the process was Name on Card CC # Expiry date CVV Then once it verified that information you could progress to entering your address and the like. Or at least that is what it did for me, so I would believe if 1 user has to enter information one way everyone would. Note this was only asked of me once (as the information ties to your account until you change it) as such the CVV would be stored in their system as well. | ||
