To all PSN users

[Talisman]

To those of you who use PlayStation Network and don't already know, I've got some worse news for you.

The Escapist : News : Sony Admits Private PSN Info Has Been Stolen - All Of It (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/109568-Sony-Admits-Private-PSN-Info-Has-Been-Stolen-All-Of-It)

[rsg]

I was just about to start a similar thread.

Here's Game Informer's collection of knowledge on what their calling "The PSN Meltdown".

Everything You Need To Know About The PSN Meltdown - News - www.GameInformer.com (http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2011/04/26/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-psn-meltdown.aspx)

If you've ever made a cc purchase through PSN, you NEED to read these articles.

[Lt. Faceless]

Like i said on TFW.I've never used a CC on my PSN,i've never surfed the web on PSN,i have no personal info on there.This is why i don't use it for stuff like that.If its Online,it can be hacked.I don't care how safe they say it is.

[pig iron grenadier]

That's insane.

xbox live seems to be fine :)

Irony of ironies, isn't it?

[rsg]

Hardware company vs Software company.

God only knows how many hackers they've pissed off in the last couple of months. Sony should have know that conflict wasn't over.

Still, as much as I'm not of fan of Sony's - I feel bad for those effected. They shouldn't be punished for Sony's mistakes or perceived mistakes. Sadly though that's not the way the world works. I hope Sony is quick to inform those who were compromised, so they can protect themselves.

[Lt. Faceless]

How long do you think that would last if you stopped paying the bill? Thats why i prefer PS3,free online play. I hate the idea of paying for a game(some people do it for years) just to play it.Thats why i don't play MMOs.

[Troynos]

I have an XBox 360 and I don't pay a monthly fee and mine works just fine.


Do you buy DLCs for games you play? If so, then you're doing the same thing that people that play MMOs do.

[rsg]

Two interesting articles popped on Game Informer.

and

PSN Breach could cost Billions (http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2011/04/27/psn-security-breach-could-cost-sony-billions.aspx)


Keeps looking worse and worse.

Honestly, how does paying or not paying for multiplayer effect this in the slightest?

Nope on the DLC front.I wait for the game of the year edition.This is why i don't like games with alot of online play for this reason.Out of all of my games,the only one i can't play is MAG.

It doesn't actually. People just keep pulling the "I pay for my playtime so I'm safe" card to kick the PSN users while they're down, even though it really makes no freaking difference.

The fact of the matter is, Sony screwed up and screwed up HARD, people's financial security has been compromised, faith in the brand has in all likelihood taken a HUGE hit, and so on. It would be the same way if this had happened to Steam or Xbox LIVE.

[Lt. Faceless]

I don't think it will effect sony any.I can promise you,noone in this thread will give up there PS3 because of this.There seems to be more worry over them getting the online back so people can play games again and not the fact of what is happening.

[Cobra Terrorist]

Man, am I glad I've never hooked my PS3 up to PSN!


The fact of the matter is, Sony screwed up and screwed up HARD, people's financial security has been compromised...

What do you mean by that, Talisman? I thought PSN was free.

I'm guessing there must be stuff you can buy on PSN (exclusive content,etc.). Like I said above, I've never actually hooked up to PSN.

[Ctrl_Z]

Everytime I see the letters "PSN" i read it as "Pissin"

[Talisman]

What do you mean by that, Talisman? I thought PSN was free.

I'm guessing there must be stuff you can buy on PSN (exclusive content,etc.). Like I said above, I've never actually hooked up to PSN.

Exactly that. PSN is roughly a free version of Xbox LIVE, with for-sale DLC and games ranging from PSOne and 2 titles to "Original" games like Sonic the Hedgehog 4.

So if you hooked up to PSN, you'd have to give things like your address and credit card info and such for billing purposes, unless you were smart enough to buy pre-paid PSN cards.

[Ctrl_Z]

Pissin is free but sometimes you have to buy something to use the facilities

I wouldn't be too sure. The outrage seems to come from evenly divide camps of the short-sighted who are too worried about not being about being able to play Portal 2 online, and those who are actually worried about fact that personal information was stolen and the possibility of identity theft.

I'm not saying the PS3 is crap because of this- albeit I will never praise the machine either, but that's just because I'm a SEGAtendoSoft person through and through- but this will seriously hurt Sony's credibility as a gaming service provider and might even affect their standing in this and the next console race.

This is why I never bought DC Universe. After one month you have to pay. I've been a console player for most of my life. I'm not use to the idea of the MMO model that I should pay to play a game I already bought. That sucks for those who have had their info exposed and/or stolen. I always stick with MS points or prepaid PSN cards to try to help myself to avoid situations like this.

Same for me.I wanted that game so bad(until marvel does a proper one).Then i learned you had to PaytoPlay...bullshit.I'm willing to bet that is one of the most expenice PS games out right now.

[bluebikerboy1]

one article i read said this is an attack on sony for filling chages against some famous hacker. in a nut shell regular people should be safe becasue they are not trying to steal info, just make a point that they can if sony doesnt back down.

[Iron Guru]

No doubt!
Once you get good at it the free month ends, and now they got by the balls if you got hooked.

[Lt. Faceless]

Shouldn't Sony have its own team of Hackers/code breakers to stop stuff like this? At one time teams like this were called Tiger teams.If this is cause of a hacker,hes got balls.Sony could flip all if tgus on on him.Computer crimes are serious shit.

[STORMSHADOW2852]

I agree, I would think Sony/PSN should have a crew ready for a situation like this....I'm very suprised.

would be crazy if the psn hackers were microsoft guys

Haha, that'd be awesome. Imagine if they're all dressed like Master Chief while doing it??

[TheSerpentKing]

I've never used a CC on PSN. I allways bought point cards but I have logged onto the internet and signed on on some site including here on my PS3 when my computer is occupied, should I be worried?

well maybe nobody will give up there ps3 but it will certainly without a doubt stop some people from buying 1 in the future...of course not everybody but the scenario of someone going into a store and saying hmm which is better for online and the psn getting hacked and all the personal info getting out there from psn is gonna deter people from buying a ps3 without a doubt.

and thats where sony is gonna take a huge hit. and it might even slow down sales of future online heavy games.

face it this is huge for sony. just cuz you havent been affected by this doesnt mean thousands of other people arent.

[Talisman]

Better safe than sorry. All I can suggest is put on your hawk eyes and watch every billing statement and credit you get for anything inconsistent.

[riot_control]

I'm sensing a price drop! :D

some moron was commenting under an article that he was gonna sue psn cause he has skin disease and cant go outside but now he cant entertain himself cause he cant play playstation.

How should it affect furture sales? If they fix the problem,people looking to get one say..a year from now.Sony will have fixed the problem and they shouldn't have to worry about it.I think the only games they would have a problem with is teh PaytoPlay type games,now i would be worried to play those.Just cause your info is sent everytime you log on.

From what i've seen on here and TFW,nobody seems to worried about it.The worst thing i've seen posted is "I'm changing my password" People just want to play their games,Thats all most people seem to care about.

===================================

PlayStation(R)Network

===================================

Valued PlayStation(R)Network/Qriocity Customer:

We have discovered that between April 17 and April 19, 2011,
certain PlayStation Network and Qriocity service user account
information was compromised in connection with an illegal and
unauthorized intrusion into our network. In response to this
intrusion, we have:

1) Temporarily turned off PlayStation Network and Qriocity services;

2) Engaged an outside, recognized security firm to conduct a full
and complete investigation into what happened; and

3) Quickly taken steps to enhance security and strengthen our
network infrastructure by rebuilding our system to provide you
with greater protection of your personal information.

We greatly appreciate your patience, understanding and goodwill
as we do whatever it takes to resolve these issues as quickly and
efficiently as practicable.

Although we are still investigating the details of this incident,
we believe that an unauthorized person has obtained the following
information that you provided: name, address (city, state, zip), country,
email address, birthdate, PlayStation Network/Qriocity password and login,
and handle/PSN online ID. It is also possible that your profile data,
including purchase history and billing address (city, state, zip),
and your PlayStation Network/Qriocity password security answers may
have been obtained. If you have authorized a sub-account for your
dependent, the same data with respect to your dependent may have
been obtained. While there is no evidence at this time that credit
card data was taken, we cannot rule out the possibility. If you have
provided your credit card data through PlayStation Network or Qriocity,
out of an abundance of caution we are advising you that your credit
card number (excluding security code) and expiration date may have
been obtained.

For your security, we encourage you to be especially aware of email,
telephone and postal mail scams that ask for personal or sensitive
information. Sony will not contact you in any way, including by email,
asking for your credit card number, social security number or other
personally identifiable information. If you are asked for this information,
you can be confident Sony is not the entity asking. When the PlayStation
Network and Qriocity services are fully restored, we strongly recommend that
you log on and change your password. Additionally, if you use your PlayStation
Network or Qriocity user name or password for other unrelated services or
accounts, we strongly recommend that you change them as well.

To protect against possible identity theft or other financial loss, we
encourage you to remain vigilant, to review your account statements and
to monitor your credit reports. We are providing the following information
for those who wish to consider it:
- U.S. residents are entitled under U.S. law to one free credit report annually
from each of the three major credit bureaus. To order your free credit report,
visit www.annualcreditreport.com or call toll-free (877) 322-8228.

- We have also provided names and contact information for the three major U.S.
credit bureaus below. At no charge, U.S. residents can have these credit
bureaus
place a "fraud alert" on your file that alerts creditors to take additional
steps
to verify your identity prior to granting credit in your name. This service can
make it more difficult for someone to get credit in your name. Note, however,
that because it tells creditors to follow certain procedures to protect you,
it also may delay your ability to obtain credit while the agency verifies your
identity. As soon as one credit bureau confirms your fraud alert, the others
are notified to place fraud alerts on your file. Should you wish to place a
fraud alert, or should you have any questions regarding your credit report,
please contact any one of the agencies listed below:

Experian: 888-397-3742; www.experian.com; P.O. Box 9532, Allen, TX 75013

CC details were encypted and believed to be safe - Only 'personal details' were stolen, so that just means I'll get spam e-mail (which I get anyway).
Of course, we're now getting articles about "PSN users having hundreds of dollars stolen" in the usual 'Sony downer' manner - I've had my financial details stolen three times well before the PSN hack, but maybe I should automatically blame Sony because I may be able to sue them.

Once the network is back up (presumably more secure than ever) I'm be happy to stick with the company and continue to play online for free.

[OSOK]

Fixed it for you.
no thats Halo, anytime i ever played COD, it was all potheads "i got one game left, then i gotta get more weed"

[Magick]

I don't think it will effect sony any.I can promise you,noone in this thread will give up there PS3 because of this.There seems to be more worry over them getting the online back so people can play games again and not the fact of what is happening.

But a billion dollar lawsuit could affect them as a business, which in turn will affect all of us PS users.. I am like many others.. I don't care.. I just want to play my games. LOL

For those of you that are aware of the site called 4chan.. there are rumors that a certain group amongst them are partially to blame.

I have a friend who hacks bank securities for a living, who has been hired by Sony to help track down the people involved. As well as help them beef up their security levels by including cryptic logs and a more secure firewall.

[Talisman]

no thats Halo, anytime i ever played COD, it was all potheads "i got one game left, then i gotta get more weed"

I only met a mouthy brat once in Halo Reach.

Both teams decided he need to shut the goddamn [REDACTED] up and we all spent the whole game curbstomping his tween ass. For the most part, I only see/hear them on MW2 and Black Ops/Zombies.

Funny how that goes, innit?

[dsrader]

this is why i always buy ps cards and dont use CC online.damn i wish they would hurry up.

[BEAM]

I want my PSN back up and running now! I read somewhere that it should be up within a week. But then I also read they are rebuilding the network from scratch with enhanced security and setting up the servers in a new location. So who knows when we'll be able to get back on.

Like most I have never used my cc on PSN. I pay enough for the games, I don't need to buy any extra stuff they're pushing.

[rsg]

PSN is supposed to be back up May 3rd, that was the word a week ago - now, they're saying it'll be the end of May before the whole network is running as it was before the attack.

Also, Sony recently confirmed that hackers only obtained 12,700 credit card numbers that were collected back in 2007. The numbers are said to belong to non-US residents.

end of MAY!?! omg...thats ridiculous!! sighzzzzz... might as well buy an xbox360!

[rsg]

The impression I got is that they'll bring the system back online piece by piece as they add in enhanced security.

[Lt. Faceless]

End of may...shit!

[Talisman]

So is anyone else waiting for Sony to put up the white flag and drop out from the Console Wars by the end of the generation?

Nobody?

Just me?

Because I do not see this being forgotten or forgiven any time soon.

[rsg]

End of may...shit!

The most used stuff should be back this week. End of May for a full system restoration.

Here quoted from GameInformer
The official Sony press release has been posted, saying that services like gaming, music, and video will all return this week. It makes reference to a "phased restoration" of services that will occur region by region, concluding with full service within the month. The initial phase of restorations will include the following:

* Restoration of Online game-play across the PlayStation®3 (PS3) and PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) systems
-This includes titles requiring online verification and downloaded games
* Access to Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity for PS3/PSP for existing subscribers
* Access to account management and password reset
* Access to download un-expired Movie Rentals on PS3, PSP and MediaGo
* PlayStation®Home
* Friends List
* Chat Functionality

In addition, the following new security measures will be introduced to PSN:

* Added automated software monitoring and configuration management to help defend against new attacks
* Enhanced levels of data protection and encryption
* Enhanced ability to detect software intrusions within the network, unauthorized access and unusual activity patterns
* Implementation of additional firewalls

Addressing the attack, Kaz Hirai said “This criminal act against our network had a significant impact not only on our consumers, but our entire industry. These illegal attacks obviously highlight the widespread problem with cyber-security. We take the security of our consumers’ information very seriously and are committed to helping our consumers protect their personal data. In addition, the organization has worked around the clock to bring these services back online, and are doing so only after we had verified increased levels of security across our networks."

A "Welcome Back" appreciation program will be implemented upon PSN's restoration, detailed below:

* Each territory will be offering selected PlayStation entertainment content for free download. Specific details of this content will be announced in each region soon.
* All existing PlayStation Network customers will be provided with 30 days free membership in the PlayStation Plus premium service. Current members of PlayStation Plus will receive 30 days free service.
* Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity subscribers (in countries where the service is available) will receive 30 days free service.

The free content is yet to be revealed, but will likely include PSone classics or PSN titles.

It would be nice but people forgot about Firmware updates bricking PS3s(to the point of being 100% non-functional and non-repairable), exploding laptop batteries and un-removable spyware on their music cds - I don't expect this to be much different.

It's gonna hurt like a son of a bitch but it won't kill them.

Free stuff??/ hmmm i may consider NOT BUYING AN XBOX

So is my PS3 - I've been playing Portal 2, KZ3, SOCOM 4, Motorstorm Apocalypse and lots of PS2 games these last three weeks with no problem. I'm also still using the INFAMOUS 2 Beta I downloaded before the PSN went down and building missions, I just can't share them that's all. DOesn't alter my enjoyment one jot though.

If anything good comes from this, maybe it'll be that devs and gamers don't put all their eggs in the multiplayer basket and extend us fans of SP campaigns more of a courtesy than they usually do.

[Lt. Faceless]

I agree.They put to much time into Online parts of games.I hate to think of a time when you can only play online.The only game i can't play is MAG other than that,i've had no trouble playing mine.

[Python_Puckman]

I haven't tried my PS today...any word? I stuck with Sega when they were going out the door,I'll do the same for Sony.I bet there is going to be a major update when they do get back online.

I have zero problems with my Dreamcast! Crazy Taxi FTW!

I haven't purchased anything via the PSN, so I should be good credit card-wise. I have to wonder what other information Sony collects on people. I don't remember being asked for anything that someone couldn't look on Facebook to get.

On a plus note, I hear that there's an open Network Security position at Sony for anyone looking

Ignoring Nintendo, eh? I see what you're going for. But you misunderstood me.

Sega is merely biding its time before it does to Sony what Sony did to them.

[Lt. Faceless]

The pubic isn't ready for that.I still consider the Dreamcast to be one of the greastest gaming machines yet.N64 is a very close second.

[Iron Guru]

Yeah man I hear you. I loved the Dreamcast I miss playing games like Test Drive Le Mans among others.

[Lt. Faceless]

PowerStone is the game i miss the most.

[Magick]

Agreed.. Powerstone was awesome.. They shot themselves in the foot when they stopped production on all new games for the dreamcast to focus on the dreamcast 2 to try and beat PS.. and we see where that got them... now all they do are games.. in which I would love to see an updated version of Mutant League Football!

[Lt. Faceless]

YES!!!! Mutant league football was the shit.I used the Acers.Kill all the refees and kill the other team until they had to quit.I didn't like Powerstone 2,they got away from what made it good.

[Gottomanytoys]

The best system was the NEO-GEO you could take your memory card to the arcade and play your game of course you had to pay but for a home system to have the same ability as an arcade awsome

[Lt. Faceless]

The price is what destoryed the N-G ,it had Samurai Showdown so that was a big plus.Thats just what i played at the arcade,i neve had the hom system.

This!
Neo Geo just didn't have the right price point to really compete in the market at the time, and Samurai Showdown was the shit. My friends and I used to play that everyday after school.

[Echo7Solo]

I subscribed to DCUO but got rid of it last month because I don't have time to play it. Glad I did, they say they got into the PC accounts too.

Damn that sucks! I'm really glad I held off from buying that.
I want them to do something with DC like Marvels Ultimate Alliance.
Now that I will definitely buy.

I juat started a PSN account and I am NEVER going to buy anything using CC on the store. What happens when your PS3 gets destroyed what happens to your brought games?
