"Such sensitive data can now be captured by anyone who builds his own custom firmware with custom certificates. There are enough n00b-friendly tools by now. Means, little scriptkiddies can spread their little CFWs and phish user data. As many of these people are using a third party DNS, they are a potential victim of phishing."

 

So CFW people get scammed?   Terrible....

 

Sony must really worry about that.

My thoughts exactly.

Wooo, distinct between homebrew hackers and pirates who run BACKUPS! What freakin homebrew? There is none yet, everyone is too busy hacking online modes and copying games.

From the get-go, the PS3 doesn't need that any of that damn homebrew. You have a good array of games, right? It's region free, right? You have PS3 media server for all your media needs, right? What else do you need? Emulators? Get them on PC, they are a 1000 times superior to any console emulator (ALL OF THEM). Homebrew games? Don't make me laugh.

Make no distinction, they all deserve their console banned. Got CFW? Face the risks.

umm I want FireFox as my browswer on PS3,..

I just can't believe they request for the tv you use!

Why wouldn't they, they are in the tv business 


what does it matter? are the going to start banning users for using anything other then a Sony TV? It's information that does not pertain to anything Sony is doing in the Networked Devices Division of Sony.

nope but it's faster and more reliable way of collecting information then polls, you honestly think MS is any better with windows or 360?

This seems quite unaccurate concerning the credit card informaiton. First of all SONY uses SSL over HTTPS for your credit card information. This around the same level of security that online banking and most online businesses (eg. Amazon, itunes, steam, Xbox LIVE, etc). And if your wondering, that means that yes - this information is encrypted!

You already have a perfect one on PC, superior to any console browser and will forever be. This is almost feature greediness, a console exists for GAMES.

only parts that worry me is the uncrypted nature of information being passed back to Sony and what exact details about my home wireless network and what it contains is being transmitted.

i.e. Do they take my network id/pw? files on my shared computers? etc.


Ya, thats a bit worrying. And they call piracy an issue. The fact at the beginning all this went to a server with an http address let alone now an https address is horrifyingly horrid security measures to say the least. I'd basically recommend anyone who owns a PS3 trade their crap in for a 360 or Wii knowing this information or remove all important data like CC details and all that off the PSN at minimum.

Yeah, I don't buy anything off of PSN and now I will definitely not do it.

That's seems like it should be an obvious, but I want proof before PSN ever sees my cc.

There isn't even a single case I can think of where someone got someones credit card via psn, isn't that proof?

Considering its just now coming to light and PS3 being hacked, no not really.
