Sony Sued for PSN Security Breach

[BasedKiliK]

Really? Didn't Sony just get out of court with the GeoHot case and now this?

Karma suuuuure is a BITCH ain't it?

EDIT: Temp is flooding apparantly. o_o

Now that this is happening, I wonder if Sony wouldn't like to drag him back in court and hang him up by his testicles instead of letting him off easy like they did.

aw what? Poor Sony, hope it doesn't damage them too much

Nah let them get what they fully deserve, they had this coming and the end of Sony isn't the end of gaming, I got my 3DS and a good line up of games for the Summer so while they end up failing in the Summer I'll be playing Tales of Abyss, Clash of Heroes 3D, and Senran Kagura on my 3DS. A lot of you guys have Xbox 360, Wiis, 3DSes, and even just a DS phat/light, so you'll still be gaming anyway.

Karma? They were protecting their shit. I feel so bad for Sony, too much happening to them. They will pull it together soon enough.

Well they sure didn't seem to care enough to protect OUR shit.

IM NOT SAYING HE'S THE CAUSE OF IT

but you can't help but wonder if GeoHot is laughing.


I wanna know what the hell happened to Sony. PlayStation 1 and 2 were nothing but amazing consoles with amazing games. (Crash Bandicoot anyone?), and then this generation, they've simply just been fucking up non stop.

Yup, they just wanted to throw info out there, right? No. They got hacked, things happen.

I really want to say you're wrong in some way but that post is just...correct.

Well if they got credit card info, they didn't get mine because mine hasn't been used in a month.

 

[Adr990]

Just what they desirve. But actually for suing the shit out of people doing nothing wrong.

But if this is the way they can pay the price for it. I'm happy, as long as the company goes down.


-=-

I mean like.. this is just a terrible unforgivable mistake.

But suing people for hacking a computer, by technology which it's build with. Go sue the technology if you don't want it to be hackable.
People can do to their bought consoles and fridges and toasters what ever they may like. And the PS3/Sony is not a exception. There is nothing wrong with make a console run homebrew, and have other people using it at their own risks also.

Screw Sony.

But you still used it.

I'm mildly surprised it happened this quick, but this is certainly not surprising. Sony failed in a huge way and is now going to suffer the consequences. I'm even wondering if they'll be able to survive in the industry at this point.

They won't survive in these conditions

Think of it

Damage and costs of rebuilding the PSN: 24 billion dollars

Lawsuits $500,000-10,000,000+ (per case, it's worldwide)

Compensation of around $10-$100 per user

Consumer Confidence loss: Priceless

Conclusion: Sony will be doomed

Completely agree with you chopchop, stolen money from users will likely to end Sony SCEI worldwide. This means either bankrupt or jail.

 

[Snailface]

How much could this suit be worth? $24 beallion dolllars. [puts pinky on lip]

You know one simple, cheap and easy way they could have avoided all of this shit? Storing personal data client side.

Well my ideal situation is:
First Sony Dies
Then they team up with SEGA
And then the console triumvirate is a whole new ball game

But of course, the miracle never happen.

Not egg hackers on by saying "HAR HAR HAR WE HAX PROOF!" and not sue the shit out of everybody for taking a screw out of their console, and not raiding Chokolo's home twice, not somehow get away with getting all of our IP's from watching a YouTube video?

The list goes on my friend.

i never understood why they didn't do this

safer and easier ... then again i never used an CC # or any real names and address' for PSN accounts.

i hope we get some answers soon either way

Issue number 1. They cut corners
Issue number 2. PSN is free, you get what you pay for
Issue number 3. It happens when you flaunt the fact that you have the *unhackable* console, they tempted fate. Like anonymous said "they saw a hornets nest and stuck their penises in it"

 

[BasedKiliK]

Yup, they just wanted to throw info out there, right? No. They got hacked, things happen.

Which is exactly why they should've put more effort into protecting consumers' personal info. These things happen all the time, and they should've been far better prepared for it. That's the whole point of security.

 

[Fyrus]

Then they team up with SEGA

GOD NO PLEASE.

Anyway, serves them right.
