Sony hack losses.

So, where are the people who were making fun of "Anonymous", saying they cant do jack shit other than DDoS attacks? Calling them bunch of script kiddies hiding in their moms basement, lol.
I am damn sure there were many of them.

This is a separate hack, that happened BEFORE the PSN hack, but they only found out when investigating the PSN hack.

Totally different servers and thus showing that Sony's security was poor in general, not just for the Playstation 3. Not only were they hacked, but they didnt even know they were hacked.

This time at least they seem to know credit card info, and other bank info was stolen.

btw nothing to link this with the PS3 being hacked as far as I know or the Anonymous group, who denied any involvement with even the PSN hack.

Anonymous said before the hack they weren't going to disrupt PSN any more, and they've repeatedly denied responsibility for the breach.

It's kinda funny how Nintendo is now the top for online services lol!

Sony = fucked up
Microsoft = paid (but really good)
Nintendo = nothing -.-

I see.
Meh, I might aswell get another 360 for Xbox Live.
I dont think Sony can do anything soon enough.. I already had to report one of my credit cards being stolen. Just too much hassle -.-.

"Anonymous" in general only uses DDoS attacks using that LOIC program thing for their operations. The person(s) who did this probably doesn't belong to "Anonymous" but is rather an anonymous hacker trying to profit from Sony's poor security. My guess he has ties to some sort of crime ring specializing in identity thief which is what this large database would be good for.

In general, if you were a thief, wouldn't you want your identity to remain anonymous? I mean it would defeat the whole purpose of committing a crime if everyone knew who you were and where to find you. The last thing the person(s) who did this needs is a big red arrow over his head telling people to arrest him.

 

[shakirmoledina]

i think the hackers are now doing this purposely to show the incompetence of sony relative to their efforts these days (cases and all). They might want to say that we hate sony and they deserve to be hated.
Imagine all the ppl who have stored "something" with sony.

 

[TheYummyKenshin]

Hmm, since both the PSN and SoE were hacked. I wonder if the hackers also tried to target Sony's online store? Actually I wonder how good the security is in all the other Sony branches in general?

 

[LunaValeheart]

Innocent PS3 Hackers just couldn't get a fucking break from Sony.

Karma is a bitch isin't it?

+1

 

[GranolaBar]

Oh Sony.....when will you fix this mess?

Everyone will do this once this keeps on going:

then after 1 week

then after 3 weeks

 

[Stigmatic]

Update, 9:03PM EST: SOE has provided us with the following statement, in which it confirms that its user data was stolen as part of the original intrusion -- not a second attack. "While the two systems are distinct and operated separately, given that they are both under the SONY umbrella, there is some degree of architecture that overlaps. The intrusions were similar in nature. This is NOT a second attack; new information has been discovered as part of our ongoing investigation of the external intrusion in April."

- Jostiq added this update.

 

[Veristical Blaze]

I already never even trusted Sony to get my money(never bought any playstation, f*cked up things they're). But now I see only more reason to just go Nintendo or Microsoft's Xbox...

 

[Tonitonichopchop]

I still stand by my case this could be the end of Sony. Not that I want that to happen, but no matter what, this will be a big stain on their record. Even the non-hack users are being affected now, so Sony better be able to bounce back quickly.

I very much doubt that this will be the end of Sony but it's surely done some mega serious damage to their rep as a company, it's just one big fucking mess.........

 

[Theraima]

Wow man, thats gotta hurt..

 

[FireGrey]

Everyone is saying that Sony is handling it so poorly and saying that it will have major damage on their reputation and "could be the end of sony".
Well most the PS3 fans are just like "Oh damn when will PSN come back on i wanna play some CoD".
And everyone would of fergotten all about this in a month.
A few weeks of no PSN isn't too bad.
the credit card people?
well they are idiot for saving their credit card info.
Just buy a $30 PSN card insteed of risking your credit card >.>

 

[R4Liam]

I agree with the above comment. The only thing this has proven is how much I miss PSN when I don't use it. I am fine without it but miss a bit of CoD once in a while (despite how annoying that game can be). It doesn't make me want to go out and buy the Xbox 360. I will never do that!

 

[FireGrey]

Well i just bought Black Ops the other day.
So an upside to things is that it's given me an excuse to play the campaign.
I finished the campaign and i am doing it on veteran now.
I'm so glad it's not like world at war's veteran mode

 

[terminator99]

I think SONY should give every user a free £50 to spend on PSN store on anything they want as soon as they fix this major problem.

 

[BlueStar]

And what if the company you buy the PSN card from has an absolutely useless security policy as well and loses your card details? Oh, I guess you should go and withdraw some cash and buy it with paper money? What if the operator of the cashpoint hasn't done any background checking on the cheap company it used to make the machine and the factory workers installed code to steal your card details? Haha, stupid person for using a cashpoint or buying something with a credit card, right?

This idea that it's somehow the fault of customers for having this crazy notion that a large company should be able to keep a hold of their details without organised criminals getting their hands on them is utterly stupid. Unless you live in the woods trading berries and bearskins, in 2011 you cannot survive without some form of electronic money and your details being on the systems of companies you do business with. It is not unreasonable for companies to be expected to keep these details safe and be held accountable for when they don't.
