I mean, PSN got hacked... but that was something completely seperate... and scary actually.

You'd be surprised all the data farming Sony is doing off you... that I woulda thought would be illegal because usually they need to tell you this stuff.  Everything from what TV you have your PS3 hooked up to, what controllers you use etc...

Also, apparently when you use your credit card it's COMPLETELY UNENCRYPTED when sent to Sony.  Which is just... unbelievably stupid.

This is another reason I'm not pleased with either side. Sony screwed up big time with DD transactions, and geohot exposing such dangers makes it a whole lot worse.

Sony better learn from this...this is one gargantuan flaw in their security. And by that, I mean using safer means of keeping information rather than just screwing over the consumers with dirty schemes like the outlandish one that was proposed a few months ago (rumor, but still).

Honestly too thinking about it.  They shouldn't even be able to get people framed is Sony is in the least bit smart about this.

I mean, they can tell what kind of TV your using, your IP, your controllers all that shit.  There should be so many ways to ban someone and notice it's the same jackasses.

Of course, these are the same people that are claiming Geohot has a PSN ID... when they have his IP... they know the IP's of everyone on PSN... and it turns out he doesn't have a PSN ID.  Sony's prosecution in general has been sloppy.  It may actually be dismissed come April 8th.

 

What dirty scheme though?
