Lol do you even know what Phishing is? (not fishing...lol).
Phishing is the sending of a fake email made to look like it's from a reputable company. If you wanted you can send a phishing email from *ANY* company, including Blizzard and Valve. You just need an email address, you can assume some of them have accounts on that service.
It's quite common to get them from Amazon, ebay and paypal... what shitting companies for not being able to stop idiots sending you fake emails.
A two step verification will not stop this....
Funny how the lack of computer literacy and knowledge makes it suddenly Sony's fault.

Except like I pointed out companies like Blizzard, Valve and Microsoft have two step verfication which kills 99% of these scams in their tracks. The reality is that these scams exsist and people will fall for them. The fact is Sony dosnt have basic industry standard to protect their customers shows they dont care.
Not to mention this happened before in 2011 and still didnt learn their lesson which proves they are either lazy, incompentent or just dont care or most likely all three.
-PSN gets hacked in 2011 -lie about it for 2 weeks -finally admit they lost 60 million users personal info -PSN is shut down for 2 months -offer to make amends -10% discount on playstation plus subscription guys!!! -Finally give away a game after fans throw a shitstorm and threaten class action law suit

But two step verification will not STOP phishing. It's just not the same at all... it might stop someone stealing your account due to phishing, but it wont stop phishing.
On another note this is a DDOS attack, you do know this has nothing to do with the events of 2011.
Perhaps you should consider why you have such a problem with Sony rather than having a problem with the idiots who are doing the DDOS attacks and threatening airplanes. You do know that any company can be affected by DDOS right? Even government systems are affected by it. It's the way the internet is.. has nothing to do with the security of a system.
