PSN Network Hacked - Our Info at Risk

affected here sadly

 

Well there's not much we can do about it, honestly. So it's more of an "oh well" kinda thing.

 

The worst they know of me is where I live. Not that I will be living here much longer anyway. I am just pissed that I can't properly log in to some of my games as the network was shut down last week.

 

While it sucks, i think it's silly that people get mad at Sony. It's like going:

"GRR YOU GOT OUTSMARTED?!?! IMA SUE YOU FOR NOT BEING SMARTER THAN EVERYONE!"

By that I mean, someone outsmarted them and was able to hack into it. Nothing is completely hack proof forever. I mean, I get why people would be upset, but Sony can't make magic happen.

 

lol this is a bit late but yeah I've been following this since I'm part of rather loose group of PS3 users.(I don't wanna use the term clan because it's very unorganized XD)

What I'm wondering how they are gonna give back to + subscribers. Ironically I had just gotten the service about 3 days before this happened. I hope they give add the days we lost to our subscription back.

 

I was affected by this. I already put my bank's number on speed dial just in case I see some unauthorized actions from my debit card.

 

I totally just realizd I have a ps3 lmao but I used ny brothers card so its all good. lol

 

Never have used a credit card on my PSN. I normally don't download games, but when I do, I buy a card.

 

You do know that it's Sony's fault right? If they would have just left OtherOS alone no one would hack them...btw no one cares about your data, they only hacked it because Sony isn't giving the consumer base what it desires, said desire being OtherOS

 

My BF already changed his credit card. I guess they're out of luck?

 

Not affected by this as I don't own a PS3 and don't use Sony's network, but working for a credit card company at present, I can strongly advise that if you DO use the network, and you think any of your private information may be at risk, contact the credit bureau after reporting any cards that are potentially at risk as lost or stolen to the company. It may sound alarmist, but I've seen people in this situation get seriously hammered. :/

 

These dirt bags at it again.

 

The reasoning is just, Sony fails as a company. Let people hack the damn thing.

 

I don't think you understand the meaning of people's information, such as credit card numbers, being stolen.

It's everything you need for identity theft.

Otherwise, illegal. There is no just thing about this.

 

To anyone who lives in the US, Sony is providing identity theft protection now. Not sure how to obtain it though. Sadly Sony is a jerk and I believe it's only in the US you can get it xD

 

I just saw that, which was pretty cool. They said they're gonna be sending emails to all PSN users (in the US apparently xD)

 

:eusa_doh:
Yes because allowing a few select individuals to pass out personal information about thousands of people just because they aren't allowed to play things such as pirated games is just. :dry:
