Sony Still Unsure About Credit Card Leak on PSN

[LostintheWick]

FUCK YOU SONY!

Sorry, but god damn it. I have my credit card on there.

So, rather than blame the asshats that brought down the network and may have stolen YOUR data, you're blaming Sony?

Personally, if those responsible did steal people's info, I hope they get sent to federal for keeps and get used as Bubba's own personal PlayStation for the next few decades, if you follow me.

If any personal information was stolen, both Sony and the hackers are to blame. Its Sony's responsibility to protect the private information of their customers. As for the "asshats"... they just need to disappear. I don't care how.

Okay... what the hell does that picture have to do with anything? I'm just saying.

I like how people are acting like this is the worst thing to happen since Hitler. This crap happens all the time to different companies. This is the first major problem the PSN has had and its a free service. The only people that have any legitimate complaint are PSN Gold members and I wouldn't be surprised if Sony gives them a week free. In a digital world shit is going to go down. Deal with it.

Having your credit card number stolen (which MOST users use to get DLC) is a pretty big deal dude.

Yes it is, and it takes 3 minutes to call your bank and get a new number. I just did. Shit happens and bitching about it doesn't help is all I'm saying.

Well, shit, if the site's down, then it's technically impossible to present their certificates to a browser. Therefore, the browser's gonna treat them as a suspect site. It's got nothing to do with "trust."

The site wasn't down, it worked, it just didn't have the proper credentials.
If it was down, it would have just given me an error.

(Side Note: Are some people really using this to revive a dead fanboy war?)

yes. they are. because people are petty and insecure like that

Sounds like a good time to change my debit card number.

So, the site's up and you were able to access. Then what exactly is your gripe?

The site is up, and it's unsecure. Therefore I did not access it. This seems like a bad thing.
I thought it was pretty self-explanatory.
Come on now people.
I thought it was humorous, but you literalists must suck the fun out of everything, eh?

 

[Madman123456]

One may blame the Attackers for this Attack and might be right in doing so. One "might" be right because Sony might be lying and this really is an internal fuck up.

That's besides my Point however; Someone tries to attack the Network of a large company and tries to steal information.
That's not all that surprising, happens everyday. Among millions and millions of People who are aware that sony has creditcard information from quite a lot of people, there might be a few who have both the skill and intent to try to steal stuff.

Surprising is that someone succeeded, assuming the story of the attack is true of course.
More surprising is that this network is down and sony can't or wont say when it will be back up again.

Another Surprise is the criminal negligence of sony to not tell their customers that their credit card information might be compromised. I would want to know that so i can tell my bank to kill my creditcard before anyone does something with that.

So sony has your numbers and if they see that they might have been stolen, they tell you a week later.

I would not do Business with someone like that again.

Wow, this is like Die Hard 4..... Except this situation isn't great fun to watch.

then again niether was die hard 4

 

[Tony2077]

Gotcha. You just wanted to gripe. Well, then gripe on to your heart's content. Let me not be the one to piss on your parade.

 

[JDKJ]

This is the only thing that'd concerned me about this whole thing. I've already been hit with identity theft once this year, I don't need it again.

(Side Note: Are some people really using this to revive a dead fanboy war?)

yes, a million times yes.


360 players are using the excuse "Microsoft would never of let this happen" and P$3 players are claiming, still, after five days of being told otherwise, that Anon is the reason the PSN is down, and wont beleive for a second that $ony, for the third time now, had admitted to turning off the system to investigate the intrusion.


All the while, the people that pay no attention to flame-wars continue with their lives.

Thank the gaming gods for PC games, right?


OT: Normally I would laugh at PSN being down, but losing customers creditcard details and more personal information being lost a huge possibility? Bad move Sony, these things should of been held separately in different servers instead on the same ones the PSN uses to run.

I mean, I though the first rule of running a corporation is protecting your customers personal information.

Huh? Isn't the credit card information used to conduct transactions on the PlayStation network? How can that information be kept separate and apart from the place where it is needed? That's like leaving all your money and debit and credit cards at home so they won't be lost or stolen. It sounds like a good idea . . . until you wanna buy something away from home.

Well, I just checked my bank account, and nothing's wrong with it. Oddly enough, even though I bought Minerva's Den (Bioshock II single-player add-on) right before all of this kerfuffle, I don't seem to have been charged for it, and I know I needed to move money from my card to PSN.

I don't play online much (read: at all), so this doesn't affect me... much. I want new demos! And to compare trophies!

 

[Sicram]

I know a bunch of PS3 owners but I haven't talked to them about this and they haven't mentioned anything. At any rate, I'm glad I don't own any of the consoles. So if game A's network goes down I still have game B, C, D and so on to choose from because you know, I play on a free platform and all.

DELETED

 

[Shadie777]

Some people have yet to realize that Sony is only considering the possibility of credit card details being exposed due to the external attack. They are not saying that this absolutely happened. Don't act like its the end of the world, just check with your bank and/or replace your card. I have already checked mine and have found out my account has not been touched.

 

[jakefongloo]

Hahahahahaha.

Oh WOW.

Hahahahah. Oh my fucking god. Thats terrible. I dont know why im laughing. But thats just such an amazing fuck up. Seriously Sony. Just... WOW.

I'm laughing with you buddy.

Something is telling me Sony might very well be done in the video game era. That's not fanboyism talking, that's if-I-had-a-PS3-I-would-be-screaming-at-my-computer-ism

This here is proof that no matter how powerful you are...you're not invincible
