Regardless, the gafdance party must happen! Private showing of course. There will be strippers.

The strippers must pop out of a cake. I DEMAND IT!

 

[jiggles]

According to the PCI Data Security Standard (a certification required to process credit card transactions) forbid the storage of CVV.

Yes, I know. As I've already said, this is the bit in the FAQ that's strange:

Keep in mind, however that your credit card security code (sometimes called a CVC or CSC number) has not been obtained because we never requested it from anyone who has joined the PlayStation Network or Qriocity, and is therefore not stored anywhere in our system.

 

[MalboroRed]

I highly doubt it, stranger things have happened though.

The motherfucker(s) need to be caught and spend some quality time in the slammer.

 

[baekshi]

So how do we change security questions? Since ya know, changing password is gonna do jack shit.

holy shit -__-

i never thought of that. now my email is going to be fucked.

 

[D4Danger]

Well go me.

Quick, change it to something embarrassing!

or slice in 1 frame of porn

Nobody knows that they saw it, but they did...

 

[Twilight Princess]

Did psn require CC info to register?

 

[HaRyu]

Read the latest update, noticed they said that they were moving everything to a new location? Would they even need to do that much?

Did psn require CC info to register?

No, you can register for PSN and not have a CC entered. Otherwise, I wouldnt have been able to create those alt accounts for JP and Europe.

A little ot but I love this movie.

Someone change that gif!

 

[Metalmurphy]

Did psn require CC info to register?

No. It asks for it but you can skip it.

 

[Zoe]

Did psn require CC info to register?

No.

 

[davepoobond]

they need to have a way to send us exactly what information they have for us on file, uncensored. It doesn't matter anymore because some fuckhead has it anyway, what harm is it gonna be to show it to the people it actually pertains to?

 

[Carl]

So why would they need to move the entire data-centre?

 

[Averon]

Read the latest update, noticed they said that they were moving everything to a new location? Would they even need to do that much?

Didn't some say earlier it might have been an inside job? I swore I read that in this thread.

 

[Zoe]

They do if they're adding more servers but are at capacity in their current facility.

 

[MalboroRed]

Maybe their data-centre was in china.

 

[btcollide]

That's some really weak encryption by them if what they're saying is true. I just came back from Wells Fargo for a temporary ATM card since I ordered a new debit to be safe. New CC should be coming in the mail soon. Good thing I check my bank statements online frequently.

 

[D4Danger]

So why would they need to move the entire data-centre?

so the hackers can't find it

they should also put some leaves and sticks around the server so it's camouflaged.

 

[Commanche Raisin Toast]

I still don't understand, if the passwords were unencrypted, how they are going to get legit users to change their passwords before hackers might. Unless they have a way of forcing the last console to login with the password to reset it.

request an authentication number that is sent to the email address registered with your account. if you don't put in the number then you can't log in and change your password. the hacker would have to have access to your email account in addition to your PSN account in order to obtain full ownership of it from you.

steam does this now.

 

[HaRyu]

They do if they're adding more servers but are at capacity in their current facility.

If that's true, then wouldn't that mean PSN would have been overloaded soon?

[Zoe]

No. They're making the entire thing more sophisticated which is naturally going to require more resources.

 

[mr_nothin]

holy shit -__-

I dont get all the hub bub. Change everything on your email acc. and secure it. When you reset your password on PSN then they cant get into your email to see what your new password is. Also, Sony is probably going force everyone to redo their security questions when they ask for new passwords.

 

[Lambtron]

What a CF.

holy shit that's a gif

 

[obonicus]

The weird thing about that FAQ is that I could swear I've put in my security code when buying something off PSN.

I'm pretty sure you do, yes.

 

[mr_nothin]

If that's true, then wouldn't that mean PSN would have been overloaded soon?

Physical capacity as in they cant fit the extra equipment, that they are adding, in the room.

holy shit that's a gif

Scared me too! lol

 

[HaRyu]

Ahh, okay. Let's hope that PSN becomes faster due to the upgrade.

Although, I suspect that as soon as PSN is back up, it'll be overloaded w/ people signing on at the same time trying to frantically change their passwords. *sigh*

 

[lol51]

They could also have taken this disaster and turned it into an opportunity to upgrade some things and rebuild better security code/server foundations.

 

[Psychotext]

In the UK you can do that by citing the data protection act... I wouldn't be surprised if other countries had something similar.

 

[Kyoufu]

*patiently waits for PSN to be back up*

I can see this taking longer than a week (from yesterday).

Personally I don't mind them taking as long as they need to provided they rebuild the network to be more secure than ever.

Spoiler

can you imagine the outrage if they get hacked again during the re-launch? :lol

 

[Zoe]

holy shit that's a gif

Enjoy

I suspect a staggered roll out to try and avoid this as much as possible.

 

[Abylim]

I got my email today, feel abit better.
I also feel alot better hearing that most of my shit was encrypted.
Hopefully this reset happens, so I can get back to gaming!

 

[Liberty4all]

Cibc a major Canadian bank has an automated message talking about psn when calling into their visa centre ... They cancelled my card just to be safe ... All the major banks seem to know about this.

 

[Kentpaul]

I suspect the hackers will bring psn back down as soon as its back up, il keep an eye on this thread to see if i'm correct.

 

[Carl]

*patiently waits for PSN to be back up*

That's...actually quite scary. I didn't realise it was a gif at first. Scrolled down. Scrolled back up and HE WAS LOOKING RIGHT AT ME.

 

[alr1ght]

So they still haven't said anything about CC numbers that were removed from PSN account management still being in their database?

 

[Crayons]

It seems that the public is still largely unaware of this based on the Facebook PS3 page....

 

[Maxim726X]

Me three. I had to look at it for 30 seconds to make sure I wasn't going crazy.

 

[btcollide]

So they still haven't said anything about CC numbers that were removed from PSN account management still being in their database?

I don't think so. #1 reason why I just ordered a new debit card because I'm afraid that could've gotten compromised like my CC. Better be safe than sorry because getting your money back from a debit is relatively harder than a CC.

 

[Hazelhurst]

Well go me.

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/116/1164340p1.html

Well done sir.

 

[Dr. Malik]

So CC # were encrypted, thats a bit of good news

 

[Four_Chamber]

GAF != the general public. The opinions expressed here are hardly what you can expect in the rest of the net, let alone out in the world.

Most of your shit? You mean only your credit card info?

 

[jax (old)]

Well, just got "the" email

 

[plainr_]

*patiently waits for PSN to be back up*

oh shit it moved. lol

 

[Neuromancer]

Got my email just now. Sony does care!

 

[Brannon]

See, this is what people were talking about when they said Sony was botching the PR. If they had said that the CC#s were encrypted in the first place, would there be near as much panic? You'd think that would be the FIRST thing they would say, even a week after the fact. WTF Sony? WTF. Y'all trying to be the Sega of PR or what?

 

[rvd2kewl]

Woke up today to find that everyone in my address book was spammed, but the e-mails were blocked by Google (thankfully) and I just received the Undeliverable/Return E-mails. Google then locked my Gmail account due to suspicious activity and I had to reset the password.

I suspected Sony was to blame because I don't use that e-mail account for much (PSN is one of those places) and I don't fall for the virus/malware BS that typically leads to these problems. Now I see this article and it only confirms my suspicions from this morning.

Some PlayStation Network gamers who used their Sony passwords on other services said their e-mail accounts had been compromised and used to send spam. Criminals could mine e-mail accounts for financial account numbers and passwords or send mail to the contacts of the customer, increasing the chances that recipients click dangerous links that install malicious software.

Bastards!
