I wonder how they plan on making this up to us

free online gaming for a year?


come one, this deserve a 10 year plan of free online play. 

Sony is not made of money dude, they need the extra money to hire geohot to make PSN safe again and hack the competition hardware

Sony is paying $319 per PSN account as we speak for all 77 million unique users, I believe Geohot will own Sony a week from now. 

This isnt true. They are not even prove to be negligent yet. Let alone force to pay users that didnt suffer any kind of losses.

This isnt true. They are not even prove to be negligent yet. If they arent, they wont have to pay anyone, let alone paying users that didnt suffer any kind of losses.

Really, but I read it in the Interweb.

At least they are answering questions.  If my address and name and birthday was stolen, I could quite frankly not give a crap, it isn't like people can't get that information quite easily as it is.



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

very good read, hope this calms some people's nerves, like I said in another thread: coming from a generation where consoles had none of little internet requirements, I have all the patience until Sony gets PSN up and running, that and a huge blacklog of games(already platted GoW III, PoP:TFS, and one trophy away from platting ME2..insanity is a bitch.)

so good luck to you Sony(with all those possible lawsuits coming your way...you're gonna need it...)

OP should have changed the title to something really negitive about Sony it would have gotten more hit's, no one gives a damn about the only people with the answers lol

Credit card info could still have been stolen. It is just not very likely at this point. That has been the line the entire time though so I don't get this comment.

At least they admit they didn't encrypt the personal data. That is grossly negligent in my eyes, but perhaps not legally. How you can store information that sensitive without encryption is beyond me, but I have seen it before sadly. Hopefully that changes going forward as a part of their security upgrading. It is fairly easy to implement all things considered, and does a lot to minimize damage done in these situations.

If i knew you. worked or went to school with you. I would be able to get the same info that sony did not encrypt.

And what about your password or secret question answers?  Hope you don't reuse the same password elsewhere or have it easy to guess.  Lots of people use name/birthdays combos for passwords.  What about email addresses?  Look up some family members, do a little phishing...

Personal info like that is prime stuff for identity theft.
