Sony Attacked Again

Hacker rule number 1: Attack the company that just spent a ton recovering from a series of attacks and has thus the most up-to-date security. That's a smart idea.
Interesting to hear Sony intercepted the attack. Less interesting to hear somebody is ripping off IDs and Passwords from somewhere else.

Odd. When I logged on to the PSN earlier it said my password was invalid, so I got it reset and changed. Was I... one of the infected? D: * confused*
Anyway, nice to see Sony acting fast this time. I heard a lot about the Xbox, too, mainly people stealing MS points and stuff to do with Fifa 12?

I'm glad Sony realized what the right thing to do was.
Also, I figure this is as good a place as any to ask this: I need your guys' opinion on something someone I know said about this attack. He said that Sony taking the precautionary measure of locking out PSN accounts was stupid. I personally think he's an idiot for saying that. What's your opinion on it?

Don't. Don't ever feel sorry for them.silverbullet1989 said:
This year was a wake-up call for Sony and it's incentive for them to improve.
i feel sorry for them in the sense that its just getting pathetic now, at first i thought it was funny as i dont really like sony, now its just getting sadAtmos Duality said:
so which is it? because 93.000 accounts stolen i call a sucess.
turning off power in your house whenever your kid goes to a porn side may be effective, but its not really a way to do it.
also it was a physing attempt from what i can gather, so its not really hacking and its not really anything to do with sony other than its their accounts anyway. if the people were smart enough not to spam 100.000 accounts at once they could have gotten away with it, easily.
1. Most online services don't even allow debit cards so yeah.
2. As far as somone stealing your info debit cars are way safer.
Same with me to tell you the truth.-|- said:

Exactly, let them steal from Discover & not me.
