Except those aren't everyday life. Those are 11 of the worst incidents ever. Everyday life is when you go out to eat or buy something from Amazon or get gas. Which is what the poster I responded to was talking about.
That was not in any way a valid example.
Also, those were examples of serious security breaches of supposedly reputable companies which should undermine consumer confidence in thos companies also. He was claiming that you get just as exposed without the need to breach so why get so upset?
Which is patently bullshit.

Came home to find out about this. Just awesome. :|
I'm not worried about my password, since I changed all of my old passwords when Gawker was hacked. I'm getting a new credit card tomorrow, so I'm not worried about that. I just want to know what my friggin' security question was for PSN, since those tend to be the same across most accounts. My credit card and debit card security questions are strange, but I have no idea about other ones on different accounts. Who knows if there is a long since unused account that still has security questions in place that they could pinpoint to me since they have all of my other personal information?
Fucking ridiculous, Sony.

I traded in our family ps3 about a month ago at Eb/gamestop because the controllers were toast and the system had a few more issues.. I used the credit to get a 3DS for my Son..
This news is too bad.. it'll make me think twice before owning another sony console.

Oh, so I shouldn't worry, not be a little peeved @ a multi-billion dollar company can't get it's network security right. Yes the crackers/hackers did escalate it, but Sony should have been prepared, not shrug and go "Oh Wells, lets us cover our asses before we let you, the consumer, know all the details"
I admit I am in Sony's camp. People have asked my opinion if the PS3 is worth it, and with me doing free advertising selling Sony's product, I got Sony 8+ sales for PS3
Should I just LOL and quote .gifs (which are amazing by the way, I <3 Spaceballs) or just keep re-posting what was posted on page 3, which was re-posted on page 7, then on 12, then page 25?
If you got your lulz out of my posting good for you, but for me, Sony really now has lost a lot of trust with me, it will have to be built up again
I have a right to worry, I invested a lot of money + time into my PSN gaming account, now that it is compromised, that shit will stick in the back of my head for a long time
A lot of us are going through hassles just to protect ourselves, and due to it, yes as a Sony customer/consumer I'm allowed to vent (may sound irrational to you)

How is it not everyday life for a Mastercard owner up until that day? They used their Mastercards on a 'daily basis', did they not?Aselith said:
I think what the poster you quoted was trying to get at is the fact that the potential for something like this to happen is out there every day. I.E. be it via a trojan at the credit card company (Mastercard's case), hacking the servers (PSN), unfolding or piecing together a piece of paper that happens to have your information in your trash, etc.

Sigh, this is so crap. So do we all have to cancel our CCs now, or should we wait for further notice?

Bah, this is really f*ed up. If indeed all accounts have been affected this must surely be one of the biggest leaks ever. Changed my e-mail password just to be sure (probably weren't the same ones but you never know) and now monitoring my CC closely - thank you Sony!

Now that these news are literally EVERYWHERE, I just actually realized how screwed Sony is. This is headlining every news program/website here in Germany. Just wow...
Well. I cancelled my credit card just to be sure (as I can't be bothered waiting around for Sonys audit on whether that data got leaked or not). No biggie. It has the added advantage that I now no longer have to fight with Microsoft about not renewing my XBL Gold account.
A little inconvenient though. And still a major security stuffup that personal data is out in the clear like that. Even worse if it includes credit card data.
Sadly these things happens, as evidenced by the clusterfuck over at RSA (or all companies).

actually the smh.com.au article i linked to has that bit about "identity theft" with the information that they secured and that's the bit that worries me more than some credit card. There was some dude here who has the same name and racked up a massive mobile bill ($5600+ and $6000++) and Telstra came after me - well the debt collectors did anyhow.
All I had to do was write a letter to tell them I've never lived at that address and it went away.
Identity theft >>>> some measly easy to fight credit card fraud.

I guess it's a question of how long they were sitting on the information and if you believe the full extent of the breach was only discovered until just yesterday, basically it could be argued that they should've moved much earlier and gave preliminary warnings to the consumer.

Ok, someone have taken another 30cent from my account. Going to contact the bank when they open and see if they can check who it is.

Only time I have advertised for Sony is in my home, when family + friends come over, I show them the new goodies added by Sony
My 4 cousins have it, and we game together, 1 wanted 360, but he liked what us other 3 had, he joined, later on he grabbed 360
(I have 250GB 360 also)
My mom's friends come over and they always request me to show them Blu-Ray stuff, they enjoy it, their kids enjoy it, and after a few watches @ my home, they go grab a PS3 and ask me to help them with details/set-up, etc.

What at the bolded? Non-english speaker? I don't even think those words fit together.
As for the other stuff, the potential is there and it's a HUGE deal if something like that happened just like it was when the Mastercard incident happened. Trying to play off the actual event because "the potential is always there!" is fucking retarded. This was a horrible breach of a supposedly secure system. It doesn't happen everyday and it's important that it doesn't happen again so it's worth getting upset about. People are not unjustified in being angry at Sony because they allowed their information to be propogated. Just like they should be if it was Amazon or Microsoft or Steam or Wal-Mart or Chase or any other company.
I don't think Sony is going to go out of business because of this but it will effect their business.
