Scammers Taking Advantage of PlayStation Network Outage

It’s now common knowledge that the ongoing PlayStation Network downtime was the result of an ‘external intrusion’, as Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) themselves stated as much in direct correspondence with consumers registered with the service. However, it now appears that those who failed to make a quick, underhanded buck on the back of the hack are now moving towards consumers directly.

I already get scam e-mails for pretty much every online service i have every used. Surprised i never got any before for PSN thinking about it.

Lame aticle.

Yup article is fail, yet another piece of trash getting approved, and as someone who can approve/disapprove stories i can confidently say i don't approve sh*t like this.

@forcefullpower
The reason is probably that your (and everyone elses) PSN personal details didn't leak before.
Now not only hackers have the personal details of all users, but the average Joe is also trying to log back to his PSN account, and can easily fall for email scams promising him renewal of his PSN if he just logs into a fake site and provide credit card details to authenticate his account.

bubbles from me too, flash! well said.

Why does it fail? It's reporting a scam. Sony themselves have warned about this. You have to be careful.

GoldPS34733d ago

Hahaha funny shit. I always get emails like that saying I won some money or I hit the lottery. How do someone win a lottery that they have never entered in the 1st place? LOL

---stone---4733d ago (Edited 4733d ago )

Well, seeing how Sony sent every PSN account an email explaining what happened, what to do and saying "Sony will never ask for your details" last week. It wouldnt surprise me at all if some people do fall for scams associated with PSN.

Those that do fall victim of a PSN scam shouldnt complain or hold Sony accountable...but im sure some yuppy, righteous, pretentious asshole parent will get scammed or their precious, can do no wrong, perfect angel of a kid in their eyes ( but who swears like sailor with tourettes on cod blops etc) will sue Sony for /dramatic chipmunk...one billion dollars.

People that fall for scams after being informed, like the email from Sony....dumbfuck people are just plain dumbfucking people.

sleepy34733d ago

I'm surprised people actually use a 'real' email address for PSN. i just use a spam -e-mail for that stuff. XBL, PSN, porn sites....i just use a gmail account that i never check anyway cause i know when you sign up for stuff online your inbox gets FLOODED

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5063d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905063d ago (Edited 5063d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5063d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5063d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495063d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5063d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5063d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
