There is NO second attack!
New info from Sony:
This information, which was discovered by engineers and security consultants reviewing SOE systems, showed that personal information from approximately 24.6 million SOE accounts may have been stolen, as well as certain information from an outdated database from 2007. The information from the outdated database that may have been stolen includes approximately 12,700 non-U.S. credit or debit card numbers and expiration dates (but not credit card security codes), and about 10,700 direct debit records of certain customers in Austria, Germany, Netherlands and Spain.

From what I gathered, there was an attack on PSN and SOE in April. Sony realized that there was an attack on PSN and shut it down for "maintainance". Last night there Sony shut down SOE servers and soon after there were reports that 12,000 CC numbers were stolen. It is now revealed that the 12000 CC numbers were form the first attack.
Can a mod change title to "CC numbers and SOE accounts compromised"

Hopefully I'm don't get screwed by this, I've had the same credit card number since 2007 
User was warned for this post

From some who still plays a SOE MMO (SWG) this is very annoying -_-
|
this is getting really brutal tough break for sony, hopefully they'll get this under control shortly.
User was warned for this post before the edit
|
loooooooooooooooooooooooool sony security. so glad i don't have a ps3.
|
This isn't even only PS3s right? If you had a game on the PC that uses SOE, it would've been compromised too right?
|
Twice?! oh cmon this is madness
|
Just updated OP, 10,700 debit card info from EU are also stolen.
|
It's scary to see this happening to sony again, I guess they'll be investing heavily in protection of data in the future, which is better for the industry overall I hope.
Edit: should have read closer, not 2nd attack; at least they're pinpointing what was taken.
|
This is the same attack. Read the articles please. It's not a seperate attack, they just barely found that this data was stolen in the original attack.

They are, obviously why they brought down the network and are upgrading all of their systems.

These credit cards are not from the alleged security breach last night, but form april.
|
lol wasn't the first statement Sony released was that none of the credit cards were at risk? Or was that the hackers who said that?

Sony said they had no indications that CC were at risk. And today they found in a completely separate database that some credit card info had been compromised.

Sony knows they are in deep shit. They're just beating around the bush right now. This is what you get for fucking with Anonymous. I guess Anonymous really doesn't like it when companies try to control what you can and cannot do with a product you bought and outright own legally. I'm on their side in this whole shit storm.

Gentlemen, we've designed the PS3 to be nigh unhackable, making game piracy a thing of the past. As expected we've monitored a significant rise in game sales and, consequentially, our profits. Let me open up our bank account to show the board the extent of our ...er ... ooh ... shit.

Wait, so this also is affecting the Sony Online service? I had used it in the past (ages ago for infantry, and later for planetside). I have a PS3 but have never used the PSN to purchase anything, am I still at risk? I honestly couldnt care less about my address, name, etc, just the CC used was not mine (but with permission) and I want to make sure I warn them. Says in the article ""approximately 12,700 non-US credit or debit card numbers and expiration dates (but not credit card security codes)," I'm Canadian, and Canada was not listed. Generally it falls under North America, but non-US was used.
Honestly, First Sony does not use a random number which is critical in the operation of it's security for the PS3, then hands out the information of every single PSN user. Sony has some serious security issues. I truly hope they get their asses sued, and hard. It's disgusting.
|
How can they not realize these databases were taken until two weeks after it happened? It boggles the mind. Who knows what else they've taken that Sony just hasn't noticed yet.
|
man, watch out, i have to call visa and have them send me a new credit card (if that). too much work for me
