The PR is going to be hard with this.

Wow, thanks for waiting so long to tell me this information, assholes.

This is actually kind of a big deal and I know that people know I'm not the biggest Playstation fan but this one has me a little irked.  Not only did they wait a week to tell me this (and they did give us the run around) but now someone very potentially has my name, email address, security question answers, PSN handle and password, *and* I can't even log into the PSN to change all that information.

Yeah, they didn't get my credit card info but I would be willing to bet whoever has this data is patiently waiting for the PSN to go back up so they can log into any number of PSN accounts and cause trouble.

And at least all my accounts have different passwords so I don't have to worry as much as other people, but for everyone that uses the same password for everything (including email) good luck to you!  Someone has a week head start with your email address and password.

All people can hope for now is that whoever went through with this only did it to fuck with Sony, damage their image, and expose their incompetence ( at which they have succeeded exceedingly well), and not to get personal benefits.

This also explains their "rewrite" very well and why they took down the whole system.

I honestly don't think it will be and don't see this having an affect on PS3 sales long term at all. People will have forgot this within a month. The media always to to blow up stories. To be honest about half the people buying PS3's won't even have heard about this hack.

OK, now I'm getting pretty angry with Sony. Seriously, it's almost as if they trusted their network was secure because it was a closed one and didn't bother with other necessary precautions. Sony seems to have more problems with the security of their network than anyone else.

I dunno. This may have been the largest case of identity theft ever. This is going to linger for a long time, even people who never heard of PSN will know about it.



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.

Actually they might do... as I did create my first account with my real birthday, and it wouldn't let me play on online so I created one with a different birthday.
