Sony admits PlayStation Network user information compromised by hackers, Credit cards a possibility!
 

It's just not a good idea to fuck with Anonymous.

It was just on the news here.

i wonder if they got username/passwords man this is going to be SUCH a headache for Sony

True dat!

Put a fraud alert with your credit card company now!

They said on the news just now that this could cost Sony upwards of $2 Billion.

this makes sense now.

Bank of america sent me a new credit card (same one i used on ps3) and said "your shit was comprimised, this is your new card"

which sucks, cause i had that number for 5 years and run a lot of shit off it.

Nothing like some good old fashioned sensationalizing :1orglaugh

this is huge news! new credit cards for everyone!

according to news reports here 77 million customers could be affected.

credit card pulled! love my ps3 only have fifa and Gran torismo but will be dumping the card i used for that account and is a shame as it was a decent UK one :( i tried the xbox and it was far to noisy for me and the ps3 is a worthy addition to my living room especially since the release of the slim version!

Links pulleth...

I play on the 360 and no credit card is required to play online.

Does PS3 require everyone to put up a credit card # before accessing online features?

No, basic free online doesn't require a CC and they have PSN cards you can buy at stores. Its just since the PSN premium service is new, people just opted to input their CC's in the system instead of going to the store to get the prepaid cards.

Xboxxers are just used to buying the prepaid cards at stores. You can input your CC into Xbox live to purchase subscriptions and points, etc btw.

That why I couldn't afford a PS3 on the first place ...

I knew that you could purchase stuff on the xbox marketplace with a CC but it was always optional. I thought PS3 was free to play online so I was wondering why so many had to use their CCs. Thanks for clearing that up.

On a side note, I buy all my xbox stuff at the store and don't use my CC online as I've heard it is a pain to get your CC removed if you choose to later.

Sony got their asses handed to them

not surprised to be honest.

Visa/MC made some big changes a while ago that you cant store credit card information (unless its crazy encrypted), so I'm curious how this happened if they are processing with them.

Fucked up BIG time.

I am missing my online games of Fifa 11 dammit !!!

Godammit!!!!!

I just got a new card recently because I was a debit card fraud victim last month. I think I put new info into PSN right before the hack. MOTHERFUCKER!!!!!!

There are a few reports in a consoles forum i use to visit of fraudulent cards usage in the last days and probably related to this, payment attempts of up to $600 in some online stores and some small ones (probably tests) in netflix.

That's it, cancelling my debit card right now.

Seriously? I'd be surprised if they moved 77 million units.

yeah because the Ps3 is such a horrible system.

Pretty huge breach, they took so long to respond so I'm not too shocked.

Anonymous are just a bunch of script kiddies with a few l33t hackers.
The presume to stand for the consumer but really, they are just a bunch of anarchic bullies.

With what they did to the PSN and after the wikileaks controversy - I wouldn't be surprised if governments and corporations lobby for new security measures that change how we access the net in future.

Rest assured... the guys who did it will be traced through the army of proxy servers they hide behind. From what I hear, the FBI is on the case.

IF you support what anonymous has done, then all your porn sites should be free for everyone to access... or else you'll get hacked.

... oh wait... a lot of porn sites are regularly hacked already :mad:
