PSN details stolen

[I3east]

Apparently they hacked it because Sony took their mate to court over the jailbreak of the Playstation Store and they are in negotiations now with Sony and if they drop the charges then they will return PSN .

 

[Brian]

meh, the hackers gave sony chances.

That makes it alright to steal 77million peoples personal details I suppose
/sarcasm

 

[Jake]

Your details will still be on PSN.

Onlyt a redundant email address and password, i nerver registered any cards with PSN
, i was talking more about the online gameplay side of things, offline for a week is lame.

To be fair I am getting the shakes. I have to keep muttering CoD class combinations in my head to stop myself from breaking down and crying.

there will always be the select few who will go against what they were supposed to do. if sony did what they should of done, none of this would of happened. what sony did shouldn't be acceptable, the hackers have however said they don't want to interfere with psn and the people, and have denied this attack on psn. for all we know, sony could be using the hackers as a scapegoat for something they themselves could of ****** up.

Im pretty sure saying they ****** up is better publicity wise than saying there security was breached and all your personal details have been accessed with the possibility of Credit Card details too. Im pretty sure Sony sued a guy for illegally exploiting a flaw that allowed him to download and pirate games for free and therefore undermine the gaming "economy" of sony

Agreed. Any yeah they're currently in a law suit with somebody who jailbroke PS3 (the same person who jailbroke iPhone) but he didn't do anything illegal like downloading pirated games he just customised it because he felt he had the right to, after all it's your property and you should be able to do what you want with it as long as you don't spoil it for all the other players. But what these hackers are doing now is stupid is stupid they weren't going to touch the details at all they just wanted to attack PSN, but they've done more than that now.

He released how to do it though so that everyone could do it which undermines the buying and selling of games.

sony sued a guy for bringing back something which the ps3 offered, but took away. it's like saying if you bought a microsoft computer, you could use any web browser, but for a reason, they disable that, and force you to use IE. (not the best example, but meh) sony advertised a product, and then took it away. what's going on now if hackers have stolen accounts and information, but the hackers who've been threating sony, have said they've played no part. if hackers have stolen accounts then in no way am i supporting them, but i just think sony should of seen this coming.

+ for all those mocking psn, remember when xbl went down for 2 weeks? and when xbox servers were being ***** slapped in january after an update?

 

[MrX]

If you read some articles on PSN, they had an external intrusion what is illegal therefore Sony shut down PSN, they are working on the servers at the moment and improving security on the servers while other members of Sony are trying to find out who did it, Sony have hired an Outside Security firm to help find the hackers and to help improve the system, hopefully we will see major improvements with the PS3 and these idiots aim for Microsoft

i can access everything on the XBL support website, except the area where i would be able to edit/remove my credit card details, i guess that will be 2 hours on the phone trying to speak to a recent IT graduate from the University of Hyderabad with a thick accent, Microsoft *****.

Geohot made sure that his jailbreak didn't support pirated games so it is not his fault. And he didn't release how to do it, he showed people how to install his jailbreak.

The de-ranking has been around for about a year?! Also the title of that article is very misleading it doesn't even mention the credit cards. Both console's security are very poor and they need sorting out. Anyway don't worry about it don't leave any cards on your accounts, put in false billing information and just play.

I would check your bank account mate, then I would phone up your bank and cancel your card that you use? and chances every password you think is the same as your PSN ID password

Yes! I haven't got an email yet, and I hope I don't
