Forums - Sony Discussion - SoE hacked and is out for the count

"we have discovered an issue that warrants enough concern for us to take the service down effective immediately"

That doesn't mean that it was hacked. It could just as well mean that they discovered that the SOE servers have a similar vulnerability and are updating its security to bring it inline with the new psn security.

Good to know they're investigating all their services.

They had to bring it down so they can bring PSN back up.



Either the initial breach also targeted SOE or SOE's network has similair vunerabilities. Either way just wait for more information.



I feel a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.

I think it was the initial shut down wasn't it? I sure hope so cuz if not sony forums will be again filled with 10 topics on this -_-


No, it's a whole new one. This is regarding the Sony online service for MMO's on the PC platform, games like everquest.

They've got to be fucking kidding me.  I've been angry with the PSN hack but it wasn't some unforgiveable thing (though 30 free days of a service I don't want didn't do anything to help, it's more of an insult) but now, if true, I'm about done with Sony with gen.

I was going to continue buying their games and even multi-plats that are better on their system and I was leaning more towards buying an NGP but if true every multi-plat with be on the 360, the NGP is out of the question, and I'm simply borrowing (not even renting) exclusives.



GG Sony, G-fucking-G. This is well beyond the realm of embarassing and deeply in the "I can't actually believe this shit" realm.

12,700 credit cards? This does not seems like the kinda of number some random guys pull out of thin air. Hope this does not hurt Sony too badly.



Over 12,700 customer credit card numbers lost.?



Holy f*ck. How can anyone trust sony now???

Customers outside the United States should be advised that we further discovered evidence that information from an outdated database from 2007 containing approximately 12,700 non-US customer credit or debit card numbers and expiration dates (but not credit card security codes) and about 10,700 direct debit records listing bank account numbers of certain customers in Germany, Austria, Netherlands and Spain may have also been obtained - we will be notifying each of those customers promptly.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.
