Hehehe Sigh, Sony is really pissing me off almost as much as the hackers.
So yeah um about those Hackers. Who in Gods name here feels that any thing they do is justified now!?!!?
I dare you to step up I double dog dare ya'll to step up muthaf*%ka! Say Hacker one more Goddamn time! hehehe good ol Samuel L. Jackson
Again, you're assuming that it's as simple as pulling a plug. Hackers CAN get into systems undetected. They've uncovered government documents, have they not? Classified documents that are made certain are secure? Hackers can bypass whatever they want to bypass, if they really put the effort into it. Your assumptions are laughable.Pyrokinesis said:
No, they don't get to. Deal with it.Nurb said:
Because a few bad apples spoils the bunch. A sad truth but look what happened here. Blame the people who would exploit it if Sony opened the doors to everyone, not Sony for trying to protect everyone's security.
Don't blame Sony, ain't their fault hackers stole our shit.
well, good news at least nothing on my account is actually valuable.
really, I didn't post any credit card number, I rarely use online (because I don't have many online games for the PS3), and my password isn't really all that precious.
what TEH HAXORZ wanted was precious ID to get money from, all they got was some Bull Crap I made.
Heh heh...

The people who support this and are saying that it's Sony's fault are idiots ! Because no company has a system that is 100 % Hack-proof just for the fact that if you have a company and you have a to-notch security system there will always be a (or a douzen) nerds who will try to break into your system not to steal shit..but simply to prove that they can do it and if they can do it they will probably teach other people with bad intentions on how to do it. Rules are there to be respected but they are also there to be broken. It's like if you would build a fence...build it and they will come...build an even bigger fence...more people will try to find a way to take it down JUST to prove that they can do it and if they make it they will say : «HA ! Your fence is not good enough to prevent me from breaking in» and when you fix the problem...they wil find another breach .
You do realize that the entire reason people are blaming Sony is that, assuming the code Geohot published really did cause this, Sony effectively had no network security, right? It shouldn't even have been possible for people using modded PS3s to do this at all. Note that people using PCs as PCs have yet to get the entire set of Steam's user information, nor have jailbroken iphones been used to take down the App store.Awexsome said:

The number of assumptions being made in this thread would be amusing if it wasn't so mind-boggling.
"This is all Sony's fault; their security is shit"- Even Alcatraz had an escape; there's no evidence on how long this took or how it was done.
"This is all Geohotz's fault; they obviously got in by a modded PS3"- if this is true then so would be the above statement.
"This was obviously done by Anonymous; they're hackers, this was done by hackers, therefore it was them"- Sort of like saying all gamers are the same, hm? Might be good to read up [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_(term)] on just how broad the term "hacker" is these days.
I'd say "everybody relax and wait for solid information" but I guess the Internet just doesn't do that sort of thing.

There's no need for the lip, buddy!Pyrokinesis said:
I'm simply stating that it's not too weird that people are going a bit apeshit over this news.
I mostly paid for stuff on PSN through those cards you can buy in shops, but have made a couple of transactions with my debit card. So yeah, I'll have to check that out definitely. I usually check my bank details a couple of times a day though and after reading this article and checking my bank details again, everything seems to be fine at the moment and no suspicious transactions have taken place. Not that there is usually much money in there but that is besides the point, of course I'll take necessary procedures like changing passwords etc.
The one thing that has always baffled me about hackers is the reason why they do it. It sounds stupid I know, yes some hackers play the game just for this kind of reason, to screw innocent people over and potentially create a horrible situation for them. Surely they have something better to do with their lives rather than try and ruin everyone else's. Then again looking at the current situation, maybe not.
Yes, definitely do this. I'm planning to visit my bank soon anyway so I'll bring the situation up then.Vanbael said:

HAHA ! You're right ! Everybody stop talking about Sony...Shit just got real...there's people who are shoving their fists up our asses in publicgreenitedaze said:

I wonder if its the same people who hacked the Epsco(?) mail system.
Anyway, I change my info on my PSN every so often, and I just changed it again not that long ago. So pretty much anything they took is useless to them.

Well. I'm glad the card I had here expired a year ago and I pretty much just switched to buying the pre-paid cards. Otherwise I'd be losing my mind right now.
Thanks hackers! Fighting for consumer rights the right way! I recall this post that was made on a thread earlier in the week on this very topic.
"but If this is Anon... I kinda like their style here. Set up a blockade to prevent people from accessing their precious PSN. When people arn't willing to boycott Sony by choice, Lets force them."
Yeah, eat dick guy. Eat dick.

Phony are essentially saying that they have had a breach, but use words such as 'believe' and 'may'when talking on usage of data on compromised systems, not all systems.Pyrokinesis said:
Not sure if anyone has had any details used, which is important.
As people we lose data all the time, to no consequence, so lets not explode quite yet.
And breath out.
It wasn't possible to do this until the code was released. And obviously looks like hackers beat Sony to the punch to try and fix what their whole network had been succeeding at for years.Owyn_Merrilin said:
I don't blame Sony for not having a solution to a problem that shouldn't have happened.
Maybe the next solution will be only one designated IP address will be allowed to access a PSN account without going through a long process to change it. That the kind of freedom you wanted Geohotz? eh?
