I am now incredibly glad that I only bought my PS3 this past weekend, after all this shit had already gone down. When I eventually get a PSN account signed up, I'm half tempted to use a false name and address and only pay for stuff with pre-paid cards.
Sony Admits Private PSN Info Has Been Stolen - All Of It
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
Wow am I glad I sold my shares of Sony off before this shit hit the fan.
Really a horrible turn of events, but I guess the console wars just lost one competitor!
Seriously. How many points down do you think Sony will go due to this?

Nobody's saying "Sony stole it". Everyone's saying "Sony should've protected it better".headshotcatcher said:Yes, it was Sony who put PSN down and stole all your credit card information. They basically gave the info away, right?
No they didn't, it got HACKED, I.E gotten through illegitimate means.. Sony can't do anything about it, and that's why PSN is down and they're designing a new network now.
Is it 'Sony stole your credit card information'? No. It's 'Hackers stole your credit card information'.
Besides, if you do believe it's Sony's fault, you're the one who gave them the credit card information in the first place.. (yes I know that's a fallacy but think about it)
What kind of a fucking excuse is this? Yeah, it got hacked. We know. Doesn't mean that we, as customers, expect our info to not leak anywhere anyhow. I don't care whether it's stolen or Sony just hands it out to random people - none of my business. I want it to remain confidential, by which means - I don't care.
Also, "designing a new network". Well, that makes it so much better for everyone whose information has been leaked.
Hide ya kids
Hide ya wife
And hide ya husband
cause they hackin' errbody out here
Whether they had anything to do with it or not, I think Anonymous is going to come under real fire.
Or perhaps whoever did this timed the exploit perfectly to set up Anon at large as fall guys?

I guess that explains why I'm suddenly getting a lot more junkmail. Fuuuuuuuuuu!!!
I guess the good news is that I already use a selection of different passwords and also that my old credit card just expired so I guess that's useless info to them.
Still, WTF!

First reaction: LOLZ
Second reaction: OK that sucks pretty bad, I feel sorry for all the ppl with PSN accounts. There but for the grace of god (and hopefully better security) goes steam after all....

Things to do:
Step 1: Watch records (though I have very little on my card, no big loss)
Step 2: If funds are stolen, report to authorities, they can investigate.
From what I know, it would be foolish to use a credit card of anyone else because of electronic records that can be traced. Everything else is general info, though I may need to update my password which is easy. ID theft isn't likely.
But for users, we shouldn't sit on our asses complaining at Sony. I say this because the only thing that Sony couldn't expect more is the Spanish Inquisition.
I'm not one to give into scams either. And if they are going to set up a scam, they are begging to be targeted by authorities.

That is most certainly not good. Well done, Sony. I wish that I had GLaDOS' slow clap processor.

wow. i guess it's never been a better time to be solely an Xbox guy.
tough luck PS3 fans
EDIT: To add to this. looks like the PS3 now has something catastrophic about it that's just as bad as RROD to make fun of.
