Well that blows, even I wouldn't call for Sony to be sued. Just put in the proper safeguards next time and be done with it. If it turns out however that credit card info was stolen then good luck to them.
Sony Hit With Class Action Lawsuit Over PSN Breach
- Thread starter Tom Goldman
- Start date
Well, no PS3 was hacked in this case, it was the bank of servers in Sony's headquarters that run the PSN. There are plenty of ways to make something literally impossible to hack into, such as storing sensitive information on a computer not connected to the internet. If Sony didn't have a system for this sort of thing, it could very well be simple negligence.Celtic_Kerr said:
No you're not, I'm wondering if I can get hold of this lawyer and politely tell him I don't want to be part of his shit.Fiz_The_Toaster said:
My main concern is when the PSN is actually going to come back up.
Oh, and Rothken Law Firm, this 'damage' will mean I have to spend a whole minute or so changing my password, how much is that worth...?
On a lighter note, my Captcha was "Youldree Eggs" wtf?
No, fuck him, he most certainly doesn't represent me.
If Sony dies then I'll be forced to go fully Xbox, which by god I don't want to do. I only got the damn thing for exclusives.

A bit soon ain't it? Usually one waits to file a cluster bomb lawsuit until after the major company has fixed the problem and proceeded to lie through their teeth about how it's not as bad as it really is. (ignore the slowly growing pile of bodies and credit cards if you please. Cave Johnson is going to fix it so the public is none the wiser)
Definitely don't change your card (why put another in danger) and I wouldn't even bother canceling the one you use.Fiz_The_Toaster said:
What I would do is call your credit card company and see if they can sign you up to a credit monitoring service if you aren't already. It usually costs a little less than $10 a month and from this it looks like you might be able to get Sony to pay for it... eventually. And if you're already signed onto something like that with another card, that plan probably covers your other cards.
The problem with this isn't so much the credit card (you're insured for that: I wouldn't even worry about the card specifically) but the personal info (name, address, email, and password/security questions if you use the same password/SQ for many things) which can be used to take out credit cards you don't even know about or loans.
Just make sure that you never use your Debit card for things like this and you should be okay. Credit card balances are always insured. The cash in your bank account isn't always insured... even if your bank assures you that it is.
Once again, this advise comes from Frank Abagnale (Catch me if you Can) and that guy is a genius when it comes to this stuff.
Oh it doesn't, didn't you know? It's all a part of the circus, can't have a full blown disaster with a lawsuit.El Poncho said:
I sure hope once Sony dies from this that I can finally play Ratchet & Clank on my Xbox 360... seriously, Ratchet & Clank + Uncharted are the only reasons why I even play my PS3!
I'm leaning towards that, honestly that's the last thing I want to do right now, but it looks like I have no choice.Xzi said:
