OT PSN hacked

[onform]

I know it's old news now and a little off topic but I did a search and found nothing on here with regards to this and I remember there are quite a few people on here who may be affected..

I knew about it a few day ago but didn't realise all my personal data including bank details could be in the hands of some scumbag!!:razz:

I don't like that Sony one of the world's largest mega corps is still not being totally honest re just what info has been taken.

They must know excatly what has been taken surely. Makes me think there is worse news to come..

It's shocking that it took them a week to tell anyone. Trying to cover? so they don't lose too much money and loose customers. Guess that didn't work too well then.

Have a couple of friends who are not going to bother with sony anymore as they also have an xbox

Mind you I guess xbox live could be the next target

not at all if you have read anything Sony has pumped out over the issue you'd know they gave all information they could confirm and some information they couldn't tell 100% had happend but wanted users to know about "just incase"

They could have had it all up and running in a few days but they took the correct steps, took it down at their cost ($10m a week) to analise with security firms and law agencies.

They know address and usernames/passwords were taken, they told us and also told us that there maybe a chance but they 'DO NOT KNOW' if encrypted credit card details were taken. I am all for them doing it by the book and keeping us informed! I very much M$ would follow this if it happened to xbox live (quick reboot, patch after a month or two of still milking the cash cow).

on the M$ point at least PSN was hacked and not buckled due to rubbish servers (2007)

I am also glad Sony are doing a full overhaul of PSN and rebuilding areas.

Oh and by the way there is always scams on live - http://support.xbox.com/en-gb/Pages/xbox-live/xbox-live-status.aspx - on going M$ won't fix issus.
