It sounds like most of the banned consoles will be instantly rebanned once they are recognized as PBU by Xbox Live. Although it does make those PS3 players want to play 360 instead to get their COD fix -_-;;

Sony stock has not variated significantly since the information release. Sony is a huge corporation with a broad, horizontal product line. I doubt this will have a strong impact on company stock, it would already show.

What, is CoD the only game for PS3 and Xbox?

Plain text? Source? You heard?
Why would Sony be sure they stole the regular info and _maybe_ the credit card info if everything was in plain text?
|
Does anybody know if Sony EULA states that they are not liable for loss of your personal data? I am willing to bet it says so.
Which means they can only be reliably sued for storing it as plain text in countries that forces better protection (if this was the case).

Either it's an attack by microsoft to get more people to buy the 360(admit it, it could happen), or it's a planned attack that was supposed to fuck up sony's rep.
either way, I'm thinking that PSN is seriously dead, and that sony will never really recover from this...

Doubt it.

Sony's always made their consoles a little weak on the security side (lol PSP), but this is just retarded. No encryption?
|
Pretty pissed about this to be honest. I really hope they didn't store everything in plain text. Wonder if they will ever find the person/people responsible for the hack though?
|
The hackers have said that they only did this to hurt Sony, and wouldn't harm any of the PS owners.
|
Anyone got more info from a reliable source on how they store CC details? I can't honestly believe it would be stored as plaintext. If so, wow, I don't even ...
|
Is this some weird try to destroy console markets? For some reason there been quite many news in our country of how, PC gaming is dying and consoles are nourishing(even thou I don't believe that), and this kinda seems like some weird attack on both companies.

I think that canceling your credit card might be a bit extreme, if they really have 77 million, what are they going to do with yours? Also it says they don't have your security code.

Oh, alright. I'll just take their word for it, then. I'm sure they only had good intentions in mind when accessing 77 million users worth of personal data.

You guys actually used your real information?
I had a bad feeling typing in shit on a console so my info is 100% made up, what's the point in giving your real info anyways? Not like they need to send you shit.

Unless you gave your bank the same fake information (which is a federal crime), how on earth are you going to buy products of the PSN store if your account has fake bank information?

Hackers are known for keeping their promises, and they are good, truthful and law abiding people
Seriously cant believe that Sony let this happen. And I dont know how it could take them this long to respond : /

For EULAs to be legally binding, the things they say have to be legal so even if it says they aren't liable, there may be laws that say they are liable thus you shouldn't worry about it too much.
