i figure xbox live would be first, everyone who knows how to hack can get into microsofts system

Sony was the target because they went after someone who was able to jailbreak a PS3 to run Linux. So Anonymous(a big hacker group) decide since they didn't think Sony was in the right it was up to them to teach Sony a lesson. This isn't the first time they've hacked but this is by far the worst.

BTW, for all of you Xbox fanboi's, MS just issued a bulletin about phishing and hacking scams through Black OPS.

Well I guess my account was hacked even though its been deleted for 1 1/2 months prior to the hack.. Got a nice email from Sony saying my **** has been compromised and that we should keep an eye out on our credit for any unusual behavior.. Thanks Sony...

lol anonymous isnt a hacker group per se. its freaking 4chan 40 year old pedos living in their basement of their parents house.

See first page :D:D:D. Substitute pedo for nerd and you have a winner. :rofl:

That makes me feel better....

Considering they stored the contact information in plaintext, I'd imagine that they didn't have any sort of super duper fancy encryption on the credit card information. I mean, they already had their rsa encryption cracked using basic math and statistical probability.

I think they sent it to everyone just as a precaution.

My wife actually emailed someone at Sony and the person she contacted emailed her back.. That was the only email we recieved..

They e-mailed her back the same thing I received in the mail, along with another few dozen people that I know of..

Yeah, we just got the same email a few days ago, and never contacted them prior.

PSN should be back up this week with some new stuff.

Justs gets better and better..

At this rate the PSN servers will never come back. Hello XBOX360:)

Or if anybody would want there **** back on PSN.. I know I dont..

So is PSN back up and running yet?? Havent recieved anymore emails from Sony..

You can't just fire up the PS3 and find out? ;)

No, it's not.

I would but I sold that POS over a Month ago.. If you would have read my older posts it said that we canceld our PSN account 45 days ago and we still got a email that our **** was compromised..

I do Love me some XBL... Gladly pay 50.00 a year for the added saftey..

So basically you posted up just to rub it in the faces of people that own a PS3? A simple google search would tell you if it's up or not.

No ETA, was supposed to be back up late last week but Sony is still supposedly doing some internal testing. Oh well, sucks some info got taken but it's still a free service, no real loss here.

Actually I posted up here in attempts to find out if anyone has any more info on it like new emails from sony or what not!! I am worried about my info that has been stolen from my PSN account like my credit card info from the games I purchased and **** like that! If you call that rubbing it in then I am rubbing it in my own face as well..


Some info has been stolen you say?? I think they got just about everyones info and who knows what they are planning on doing with it.. Yes it is a free service with not the best security out there.
