Playstation Network Compromised
I know a handful of you on the site own PS3, so this is a PSA, but also an update.
For the past week or so, PSN has been down. And Sony has been pretty mum on the subject. I've enjoyed it because nothing like seeing internet fans snap!
But they posted this on the site today
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/...-and-qriocity/
And knowing that you had a potential breach of personal information for over a week and not informing your consumers is just terrible business IMO.
But won't condemn them, just wanting people who use PSN to know so that when the servers do come back online, they could change their information. And perhaps double check your credit card statements.

Re: Playstation Network Compromised
Thanks for the heads up. I had heard PSN was down, but hadn't heard of the security breach. I took their advice and put a fraud alert with the credit unions.

Re: Playstation Network Compromised
They have said they only found out about the personal information yesterday, and released the information today.

Yeah, that came after the initial announcement though, and after the thread was posted.

Of course they did. And why would Sony - the company that put hidden root kits that installed without user's permission or awareness on numerous audio CDs - lie about this?
There's been a lot of anecdotal reports floating around that people who use PSN have had compromised credit cards during the past week. Whether it is coincidence, straight up BS, or the truth...it still does not change the fact that the personal information should have been better protected.
We're sorry. |

Re: Playstation Network Compromised
I'm just so glad that I never used my credit card on their PSN Store. I was THIS close to buying the Scott Pilgrim game on PSN. Now I'll just buy those cards at GameStop and use them. And I'm Glad that they are making improvements to their service.

Re: Playstation Network Compromised
As far as a reason for unavailability, sabotage and theft is a pretty decent reason.
It's things like this that make me not trust merging my technology with my ability to control my money.

Seems like HomeLand Security is getting in on this party.

Microsoft is responsible.
It could happen.

I don't think Sony is handling this well at all.
