Ask yourself what a person or group of hackers has to benefit from hacking the harder console to crack.  Seriously. A Microsoft issue would've been far worse.


MICROSOFT HASN'T HAD AN ISSUE.

It's like saying that if Titanic's sister ship, the Olympia, was travelling faster and hit a bigger iceberg, it would have sunk faster. Who gives a damn? It didn't hit anything. What does Microsoft have to do with this anyway? I brought them up to say that if they were hacked, I'd be blasting them for it, too. Beyond that, there is no reason to talk about the company in this thread. Jesus.

The Titanic that sank WAS the sister ship Olympia, apparently

@rocketpig I don't want to call you a liar but after the update you only had one option: to change your password. You couldn't do anything else untill the password is changed.



@Kasz216  

were there numerous trolling posts when LIVE went dead for 13 days and then the second time for (i dont remember) days?

not really comparable as most people are more concerned about all the private info that was stolen, the CC number stolen, the bank account numbers stolen. You know the things that affect people in real life.



@thranx yes, like the bank accounts that PSN never asked you for and your address can be obtain freely on any courts casesearch websites............. as far as CC info you're good for upto 1mil. Dont you read? Checked like a school boy

You mean the bank account numbers from several european countries that were stolen? I think it was 10,000 bank accounts or something. Maybe you should read up, there is plenty of info in all of these threads and news on this site alone. You may want to put your head in the sand about all of this, but for those in the real world these are real problems. Getting your identity stolen is not just about the money its about the hassle of fixing your credit. But that is besides the fact, its more about the trust that is lost in Sony in that they can not keep their PSN up to date enough or secure enough to ward off what may have been easy hacks. This is by far the one of the biggest breaches of personal information from a major corporation. But please conitinue to put your head in the sand as a company you appear to like continues to look bad and ruin their credibilty with consumers. Not to mention all I was saying is that you can't really compare a down service (xbox live being down) to a massive theft of personal info and CC/bank data. You know apples and oranges. Maybe you would like to compare how live had its members info stolen and cc info stolen, oh wait it hasn't happened yet.

I couldn't change my password. Luckily, a friend still owned my original PS3 from 2007 and changed my password on that console because I couldn't do it on mine. Did you read the thread?

Yes, 77 million accounts. I can personally attest to the fact that not one, but four fake sets of personal information of my own (as I have two fake addresses in Hong Kong, one in Japan and another in England) were stolen among that 77 million.

You can bet I was quick to let my imaginary friends at those non-addresses know that some random guys on the internet now know where they're hiding.

Anyone care to bet just how many of those 77 million accounts were of the nature of "169 Flibberty Flab Avenue, Tuscon, Arizona" or "999 Main Street, Kowloon, Hong Kong"?

Almost everyone I run into on PSN or in Home seems to have AT LEAST one alt/fake account. Even more than VGC.

And? I dont see your point. Did you mean to qoute me? I never mentioned 77 million accounts. I am sure there were many alts, doesn't change the facts of what happened does it?



@ thranx , let me see, If SONY doesn't ask you for Bank accounts how can they be responsible for your bank info getting stolen? that was BUSh-like, son. Step yo' game up. I AM GONNA CHEW IT OUT AGAIN : SONY NEVER ASKED FOR BANKING INFO. you get 1000000000 (yes, 9 zeros) protection from sony.
