| Ultr said: you know this is Crime at a VERY high level? this is not some "I hacked this or that device" this is THEFT from 35million people. They have to track those people down! |
Yes i am aware of that. but what crime has been commited - theft of what?? the names of 35 mil people, which is considered public anyway - its not illegal to know this information. it could be illegal in the way the hackers have obtained this data.
we have no evidence to suggest the hackers were after credit card details. since no cc data was taken. even if it was, the information of your cc details is encrypted, and its not complete - does this mean even if hackers had our cc details they could use that information, since it is not complete??
there has been no comment from the person or persons responsible to confirm they wanted credit card details. why have they targeted PSN's credit card details?? have they targeted PSN's credit card database??
i'm not convinced this group were after cc details. and i think Sony have known that for the last few days. and i think this is why they took so long to notify customers. i think they want to use the panic induced by the media to legitimise whatever brutal tactics they have in store for hackers in the future.
and i dont think identity fraud can be commited without a legal document like a passport or drivers license. your cc isnt considered a proof of identity.
