Breaking News: Sony = Bust More Than 12,700 Credit Cards Stolen from Sony Online Entertainment Sony's security problems continue to mount, as the intrusion that brought down Sony Online Entertainment this morning is linked to the theft of more than ten thousand customer credit card numbers http://ca.kotaku.com/5797858/more-than-12700-credit-cards-stolen-from-sony-online-entertainment
Sony attacked again, 12,700 non-US CC numbers feared stolen http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/...ain-12700-non-us-cc-numbers-feared-stolen.ars Here's what Sony has announced so far: "Our ongoing investigation of illegal intrusions into Sony Online Entertainment systems has discovered that hackers may have obtained personal customer information from SOE systems. We are today advising you that the personal information you provided us in connection with your SOE account may have been stolen in a cyber-attack. Stolen information includes, to the extent you provided it to us, the following: name, address (city, state, zip, country), email address, gender, birthdate, phone number, login name and hashed password."
all the pages discussing stolen information are blocked where I am atm. Did they hack the station acounts or was this still specific to the ps3 network? I've seen reports that the hack may have affected everquest 2 acounts, but I can't verify due to big brother blocking everything.
Had it not been for the real harm caused to people whose data was breached by Sony's ineptitude, I would be celebrating right now. Fuckers deserve far worse than what they're getting.
Here's an update: House hearing blasts Sony's "half-hearted, half-baked" hack response "Despite suffering massive breaches that made national news, neither Sony nor Epsilon showed up to a House hearing on data theft this morning — the predictable result of which was that both firms were just trashed in absentia." http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...nys-half-hearted-half-baked-hack-response.ars
we are anon, we swallow are fathers cum, and becum cyber faggots....i hope sony rapes you all in court
saw on cnn that 57 of us were arested and are facing up to 40 years in prison for the credit card theft
not saying you were but my friends house was one of the ones the fbi raided and my friend called me yesterday from his cell... he told me he used the proxy when he ddos'd and everything his ip was untracaible. but they still found him
Sony defends time it took to notify users of data loss http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/sony-defends-time-it-took-to-notify-users-of-data-loss/
I am a troll. I am 12 years old and educated only by my PS3, as evidenced by my obvious inferior intelligence and lack of education. I don't even know my own language. Maybe if I accuse people of being gay and having sex with their fathers, they won't suspect that I am describing myself. Maybe if I type in big bold letters, people will think I'm a badass.
i am a retard, who sits behind the computer and bitchs and nags all day thinking my retarded ego will be useful and hopefully psn is up again so i can continue to play an epic game and fail a game called life....and who cant even make friends on the internet i am steve csorbay the most retarded child you ever heard of -that is what you meant
Ok guys been staying out of this whole anon vs sony network crap becuase i know its not the side of anon i care about that did it even if any part of anon did it at all. I own a ps3 and yes i am upset with the network being down mostly becuase it was the easiest way to watch firefly on my big screen through netflix. My kids are pissed becuase they can't play their games, but thats another story. My thing is they hackers that did take it down(if thats what happened) stole credit card information. Seriously thats screwed up on the hacker's part but how the hell does sony get away with having the information so easy to get. thankfully i never put my cc information into their system, only ever bought my kids those stupid cards, but the WTF!
Okay, you're a sane, rational and intelligent consumer and realize that the overall condition of the digital medium/internet is brittle, fragile and vulnerable; ergo, no place for credit card numbers. Others also realize the condition of the medium and will exploit that brittle, fragile vulnerability at any opportunity. Why? Because millions of people are extremely gullible and can so easily have their stupidity exploited. cf, HBGary Federal. Surely you've heard of viruses, trojans, botnets phishing and so forth. This kind of mischief and mayhem has been taking place since the beginning of the digital age/internet. And it didn't start with the World Wide Web. John von Neumann postulated the situation quite clearly with his published "Theory Of Self-Reproducing Automata" - 1966. http://cba.mit.edu/events/03.11.ASE/docs/VonNeumann.pdf Until the medium obtains a state of optimum robustness, all this kind of shenanigans is not going to go away. Unless mission critical activity is removed from the internet, the mayhem, chaos and data catastrophes will continue. What is to come will make this silly Sony situation look like a smash-and-grab operation.
Except that all credit card transactions used under any medium (at a cash register, ATM, etc) must be sent via the internet for approval, and the resulting transaction currency sent again via the internet from one bank to another. Therefore, you're saying that credit cards have no place in the world period.
I wouldn't go that far, although I'm not a user of Credit Cards. Nor do I do any "on-line banking." I would speculate here that telematics involving Debit/Credit Cards at point of sale transactions is by HTTPS: or something similar, in terms of at least attempting some kind of (capital "S") Security.
Of course. I believe that's required by law. But it doesn't guarantee security. Encryption can be broken. Also, all the banking info is stored in online databases. It's good that you don't use credit cards or do online banking, it makes you safer (and credit cards are trouble anyway), but banks are still storing your banking info in the same databases. If your bank gets hacked, watch out! Nothing is unhackable or uncrackable. No computer, no server, nothing that's connected to the internet is "secure". Security only slows down the malicious, but will never stop them.
You've stated the key issue: any "lock" can be picked. Any encryption can be de-crypted. With the state-of-the-art of the medium, "Digital security" is an illusion and a delusion. Precisely!
So, he's sitting in a jail cell, in possession of a cell phone, and calls you to admit his guilt. You're friend is an idiot, a liar, or both.
X stolen does not = information that may have been obtained. Which is it? End thread now. Sony is faggotz. All flip flopping on facts. Scifags must be in there getting people who take csIII to make it look like we did their 9/11 hahah. Dont rule that one out.
I received this today (their newsletter): if you wanna read the whole report http://www.thehackernews.com/2011/0...(The Hackers News - Daily Cyber News Updates) btw very nice guys...
