Why don't people just cancel their cards and get new ones. Close their bank accounts and open new ones. Is it a hassle, sure. It's not like Sony wanted your information to get stolen though.
No, nope. I'd rather get in on a class action lawsuit and get some money.

As if this lawsuit will even go through. Any half-assed lawyer can prove that Sony is not the criminal here. And Sony is already taking steps to make it up to every single customer with free stuff. I don't understand how even a single Sony customer can feel angry over this. No security system in the world is uncrackable. If someone really wants in there, then by god, they will. And I very highly doubt that Sony made is easy for hackers to get in there. I'm going to continue to use Sony products and I will continue to give the company my full trust.
Stupid, Sony owe very little to the victims, it wasn't their fault that they got hacked by a source that was clearly always 2 steps ahead of them. They had no power over it at all. They are giving you gifts for when PSN starts back up, and they've given an apology. That is all Sony need.
Yes this breach was incredibly huge and damaging. But PSN owes everyone very little. The fact that they've worked 24/7 to get everything put straight, only to be hacked again is commitment enough for me.

It's not about fixing the issue it's about getting reparation for Sony's massive fuck up. Since when has suing been about fixing things?Frank_Sinatra_ said:
I now have to go through the added hassle of closing down my cards, changing any accounts that may have used those cards, be broke for the next week while I wait for my account get fixed, run extra credit reports, pay someone to monitor it... get it? time = money, it's not about getting some pr statement about how the new psn network is totally secure this time and it will never happen again, which is all we would get if not for the suits popping up.
That is bullshit, complete bullshit, the hackers are the ones who should pay, not Sony. Trying to blame Sony for it is such a cop-out and show's how ignorant people truly areCry Wolf said:
You're complaining about this to someone who has actually has been hit with identity theft so you're getting no sympathy from me.Richard Allen said:
It's called life, and sometimes bad things happen and you just have to deal with it.
Class action lawsuits like this are a joke only created for people who want to get an easy buck outta life.
Yes sony clearly designed the network well and was great at protecting our details.... oh that's not the case? You mean they stored much of it unencrypted? I see, well clearly they wouldn't go and do something like putting the master key for their entire network on every machine they sell... oh wait they did that too. Yes clearly we are truly ignorant, asking for basic protection of our info. So far the only thing I have seen them do was removed my features and I mean I guess that worked right? Oh no, it didn't, so now we're just left over with a bunch of screwed over people, yea we're ignorant all right.artanis_neravar said:
Considering at the time of the attack Sony was fighting of massive DDoS attack starting before, and ending after the PSN hacking. and the fact that no matter how sophisticated and well designed a security system is, it can always be hacked. And the fat that Sony did not wake up one day and say let's screw over our customers. Yes you are ignorant and you are focusing all the blame on someone you can see. Your information was well protected, Hackers are just better than the programmers. The Hackers stole the data, the hackers commit a crime, and the hackers are the ones who sold the data.Richard Allen said:
Oh come on, didn't you know? Suing makes everything better and fixes every problem out there!Frank_Sinatra_ said:
OT: Jesus Christ that's a lot of money! One billion dollars for damages? Damages?! I call shenanigans, how does covering your ass until you get a new card be considered damages?
And suing Sony over this isn't helping anything, suing them indirecting hurts us, the consumer who also happen to be victims of this. Thanks a lot you soulless greedy bastards.
Simply put, sony has a responsibility on both the civil and criminal realm of things (At least here in the usa but it seems other countries are stepping up) to make a resonable effort to secure our data and INFORM us when that breach has happened.Frank_Sinatra_ said:
So 1)Sony stored much of our info in clear text. Well that's pretty unreasonable.
2)Sony then left us in the dark for 6 days and didn't inform people, well that's money gone from peoples wallets, banks then have to pay that back to customers, so another actually cost.
3)We find out that Sony basically put a fucking root key on every single machine it sold AND knew about the software vulnerability but still didn't fix it.
Yes we are all clearly out of line, just looking for a free buck and Sony bares no responsibility in the absolute inadequacy of protecting our data, not to mention how they painted a bulls-eye on themselves in the first place by screwing over customers.
You think too highly of yourself if you're dismissing people as ignorant for disagreeing with you. What you have to realise as is I never said the hackers shouldn't pay, but Sony should as well given it's clear negligence in this situation. Once that data's out there, it's next to impossible to retrieve and having to change everything on account of the failure of a mega corporation is bullshit.
