lol sony
also
lol next gen
seriously, who the fuck thought it was a good idea to allow servers to store credit card info?
I really don't need this shit right now... fuck, I don't think ANYONE needs this shit right now. I sure do hope they straighten this out somehow, and I hope that not having logged on for the past 6 months will put me in the clear.
My issue isn't so much the fact that information has been breached, although that is a worry. The problem here is they clearly knew this was a possibility from the moment they took PSN offline, yet it's taken them a week to inform their customers of the fact. It's unprofessional and it's downright cowardly. They've fucked up here and they know it.
bah sony, y must u make everything get worse and worse
First Interview.... sees the couch
Hello, i am the casting Couch. you have probably seen me in locations that you can ether not tell anyone, or places you wish you never visited if you know what i mean
Honestly, I agree they should have said it was possible from day one, but then I figured it was anyway. That said, I wonder (and I'm likely wrong) if they wanted to confirm that some accounts WERE compromised before stating that others could be, thus the hiring of a different firm to help investigate.
Yeah, because no other network can be hacked and have your account compromised. Nope
edit: Seriously though, those members that had CC info on the account: I hope it wasn't stolen.

This is why I never really use any form of online transaction. Online shopping has never been secure, and probably never will be.
PSN cards everywhere.
Also, people actually used their real names and addresses when signing up?
Silly people.
What scares me is, if someone has been able to steal your account password, that means Sony are storing it as plain text.. what kind of company does that? They should be hashed before theyre stored. There's not much a "hacker" can do with your PSN id and an SHA hash..
@Raype - you sound like my grandpa. Online transactions can be safe, but are only as secure as you make them. Sony are just showing they didn't pay much attention to security.. but if your point is that 3rd parties can't be trusted with your personal information, I kinda agree with you
/rant
That made me wonder, so I did a quick search. Not saying it'd be easy, but based on the search if somebody wanted to, it seems they could decrypt a hash without TOO much trouble (or perhaps I looked for the wrong kind?), so while hashing may delay, it wouldn't prevent.
I never put any credit card info, or anythng like that on there.
Shitty deal that personal info was released.
I had a PSN account for like a week on my roommate's PS3.
Never bought a damn thing
If (see: when) this happens to Live, I'll be panicking, thank you.
Wasn't it hacked, at least partially, back in 2007?
Or is that info wrong?Kevin Finisterre, a security researcher at Digital Munition, raised the issue on the Full Disclosure mailing list over the weekend, calling attention to rumors that Microsoft's Bungie.net was the victim of a breach that exposed a portion of Xbox Live
