I dont have any problem with this nor lose sleep over this.. I always use either a pre-paid credit card or a PSN points card and so goes for Xbox live, I always use Microsoft Points for every purchase I make..


PSN cards don't work for SOE MMOs?

On topic: I don't think this would be half as bad as what the PSN hack could of been. Since all these were 2007 cards, most of them have to be expired ;_; 

Thats when I go for option "B",  pre-paid Visa or Master card.

Found more info:

The personal information of the approximately 24.6 million SOE accounts that was illegally obtained, to the extent it had been provided to SOE, is as follows:

  • name
  • address
  • e-mail address
  • birthdate
  • gender
  • phone number
  • login name
  • hashed password. 

In addition to the information above, the 10,700 direct debit records from accounts in Austria, Germany, Netherlands and Spain, include:

  • bank account number
  • customer name
  • account name
  • customer address.

hmmm.. that should be enough to make a fake id and to commit identity theft at the bank to access funds...

All you really need are the account numbers to do an ETF I beleive.



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.

I don't think bank account numbers expire.

They lost bank account numbers? For what reason would Sony have people's bank accounts? Where can you even enter such information on a ps3 or any product?

This wasn't a second attack.  This was part of the first attack, only it wasn't until yesterday that SOE had become aware that they had also been hit.

Also, I'm not sure why people are giving Sony so much shit over this.  The attack was so severe the FBI and Homeland Security have gotten involved.  You're going to stop buying their products because some really damn good hackers decided Sony was their next target?



So this information is from 2007?

Ask me about being an elitist jerk

Time for hype

didn't they say a few days back: "SOE's systems and databases are separate from PSN's"

http://www.strategyinformer.com/news/12094/sony-online-entertainment-separate-from-playstation-network

so that would mean SOE servers were just as vurnable as PSN?

The information stolen is from 2007

The attack happened with the original attack 2 weeks ago

They only found out about it yesterday.
