Only a "possibility" that credit information were stolen, Sony had no idea what's going on.
They're only blaming hackers as a scapegoat.

Oh, I also forgot to say that my brother got a call from his friend whose a hardcore PSN user.
And he said he got an e-mail from Sony saying that the servers will be down for about another month.
I don't know if this is true but I don't think my brothers friend would lie.

I really would hate having to wait, and I would REALLY hate to have my information (like my credit cards) stolen by this. Fuck PSN.

Only one way to find out, did anybody else get such an email? If not, your brothers friend would, and is, lying.
You mean fuck the hackers.Slyakin said:
Sony can't help this. I bet people will say: "Sony should have protected it better!",
but seriously, hackers can hack anything these days, so don't say this is Sony's fault.

This isnt false! Its an offical statement from Sony!
Plus i highly doubt they would change to a paid only service when it reboots! Could you imagine that, "oh sorry we put your personal/credit card info at risk last time....this time to use our service you must enter your credit card info!"
MS must be loving the start to the year! After all this things couldnt be worse for Sony!
It makes me wonder, did the same idiots who programmed the ps3's security to have a unsecure algrorithim also program the security on the psn servers?
Either way Sony should fire alot of people over this.
And if AnonOps didnt do this? Then who the heck did?

Not entirely! Sony should have better protected thier servers. I'm not 100% how it works but knowing sony they kept the info in some sore of plain text easily readable format, no hashes or anything.
Now that was sarcastic, twiztidsinz. The security worked, untill the hackers started to fuck with it.
Hackers who started doing this all because of the removal of Other OS. That's just pathetic. They didn't get what they wanted, so they screw it up for gamers all around the world.
So yeah, don't blame the hackers for any of this, it's all Sony's fault!!
Die hackers, just die.

Just wanted to add that apparently some people who did research into stuff that was sent across the network was sent in an unencrypted plain text format!
Group A and Group B are not the same.jorpor said:
The ones who hacked the PS3 after OtherOS was removed AND FOUND THE PAPER THIN SECURITY THAT SONY USED TO TRANSMIT YOUR INFORMATION ARE NOT the ones responsible for this.
But hey! Don't let a thing like logic and rational stop your erage.
The part in blue is sarcasm in response to my sarcasm.jan777 said:
But the thing is, had Sony NOT been sending YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION across the internet UNENCRYPTED things would be very different.

Whoever did this did it entirely maliciously. They wouldn't have been able too though had the PS3 not had the most broken security ever.
As for the PSN data transfer it was https secured. The files themselves weren't scrambled though so it was a lot easier to read the info than it should have been.
Whoever did this was a complete greedy arse though
