You realise you just quoted yourself right?FINALBOSS said:
Oh, and downloading 77m records wouldn't take days. I work with millions of records on a daily basis and with compression you're talking about minutes, not even hours.

They just informed us to watch out for fraudulent emails claiming to be Sony.MThanded said:
Yep, alot of misinfo posted here in the chaos, entire database etc.ULTROS! said:Oh, so I guess I don't need to be super worried huh.
And I thought CC info has been leaked when I've been reading through this thread.
So I guess this means this is situation is at Gawker Hack level but the info hasn't been leaked yet.

so it is now confirmed. there is no bs 6 day gap between when they discovered data was compromised and when they announced it. a day-ish is understandable.
the next step (for the investigation team) should be assessing weather or not CC data was compromised, followed by following any trails to who did this.
as for the PSN team at sony themselves, keep on crackin till you get things to a state where they can come back online. the even shittier thing is that they are going to need to know how the breach happened before they engineer the new infrastructure to prevent it from happening again. it's like on Phenomenon when he couldn't figure out how the rabbits were eating his crops until he found out how they got in to begin with. (which is a shitty example because the rabbit was already inside the garden LOL)

Maybe I can find a PS3 for cheap to use with one of my monitors. My current one is way too loud -_-wwm0nkey said:
If anyone is upset over this and wants to sell their PS3 or controllers, hit me up =]
PSP's online is pretty minimal -- mostly just for buying games. I didn't realize I couldn't use PSN with my PSP until I tried to log in to MediaGo yesterday, but it's not like I NEED to buy a game. But that does bring up another fair point:chubigans said:
3. Sony should compensate PSP Go owners =D

There is a difference in defending Sony and not going off the deep end with dramatic fud.
EVERY network is vulnerable, that is all there is to it, all you have to do is get in the sights of someone willing to take the time and energy.
You can ask any network security manager or any network security teacher and they will tell you the same thing.
Sony's mistake and their flaw in this was their communication.
The ones who people should be a bit more pissed at are hackers and those eager to misuse CFW.
This thread is so full of complete crap, dramatic bullshit, and just blatant trolling by people who love drama and people who have agendas that people who are looking for real information and people who are genuinely affected are getting lost in the ocean of idiocy.

A multidimensional database with 77 million customer entries would be fucking massive in size. I work at an insurance company and our databases are huge, with nowhere near 77 million customer entries.
If it is just a list of names and numbers, than it could be tiny. It depends on how complicated the DB is.

Yeah, Gawkers one was already stripped and it was still pretty big. No where near as 77 million either.

Why would you trade in your PS3 when you can still play all your games, all the games that will come out, and continue to use online services without entering a credit card. It's hard not to see such principled overreactions as pure nonsense. You're hurting yourself far more than you're hurting Sony, and you're not reducing your risk of future harm any more than you would be if you just keep your CC info out of their new system.

Yeah I agree. I doubt there's much in the way of a class action available to regular users just 'cause of the T&S but with the Plus users it gets into much more of a gray area (I'm sure it's T&S indemnifies it as well but when money is exchanged, there is, shall we say an extra gravitas).
I'm not to worried about stuff like my address 'cause I am frankly pretty fatalistic about that, this info is just out there in a billion ways for almost anyone of a fixed address of more than 1 year, so whatevs. But the CC info and any sort of anomalies with past purchases on PSN (I have about 30ish games) is definitely of concern. I am a big believer in not pre-emptively stressing out though so until something bad actually happens to my card or account, there's no sense in getting worked up about it.
I guess PS4 will come early now with better PSN structure. :|
I really hope Sony figures this out as I was one of main people here who got about 3 other folks to buy PS3 and set everything up for them.
Hell one of my neighbor was playing PS3 games on 480p. :| He never configured his PS3 with HDMI cable. He was so pissed during the week that he could play COD. :| This is going to be real bad for Sony regardless what outcome.
