'Steal everything' era of hacking - BBC

The devastating attack on the PlayStation Network (PSN) is yet another illustration of how technology-savvy criminals are determined to get their hands on our personal information.

"Other gaming networks, such as Microsoft's Xbox Live, could be vulnerable, experts claim."

O lawd. If live or steam got hacked I wouldn't go anywhere near this site for at least 3 weeks. Nothing but Hacker articles as far as the eye can see.

a_bro5173d ago

its not that it could be vulnerable, its that it is vulnerable. The thing is Microsoft's expertise is on stuff like this, so the difficulty of hacking there is higher than Sony.

InLaLaLand5173d ago

I dunno about XBOX live, but Windows that's a different story.

metsgaming5173d ago

I wanted to see if i could get a game on steam but you have to use your credit card, i didnt want to do this as i didnt do it with psn because i knew this stuff happens. Hopefully steam will get a card so you can add money without having to use a credit card, im pretty sure they dont have one.

CDbiggen5173d ago

I miss the days when gaming didn't compromise my bank details =(

InLaLaLand5173d ago (Edited 5173d ago )

Off-topic, I miss the days when every gamer just played games just for fun not just brag about pixels (sigh).

I do feel for the legitimate gamers who could be affected by this situation.

Godmars2905173d ago

Meh, I miss the days when devs were at least slightly creative and not pimping graphics and online multiplayer.

dalibor5173d ago

I miss the days when dlc wasn't around and you could enter passwords in practically almost every game. And how about having a kick_ss art cover and manual inside the gaming case. Or just the mass amount of different games you could play ranging from so many genres.

Snakefist305173d ago

I miss the days where there were no fanboys just gamers.

CDbiggen5173d ago

What days were those? xD

For as long as I've been gaming (Genesis/SNES era) there have always been fanboys.

Sharingan_no_Kakashi5173d ago

Would chopping off a hackers hands be too big a punishment for this?

dalibor5173d ago

Not at all. But even better would be able beat the snot out of these hackers personally or somehow hack into their bank accounts and take their funds. See how they would like it.

negroguy5173d ago

Im just I was able to live in a great era with the PS2 and the N64. Days when you walk into the store not knowing about the game and just look on the back of the box to read about it and decide if you wanna get it. Good times.

BlackTar1875173d ago

dude those days went all the way back to NES. I used to love those days. Actually some of the best games ive ever played were that way. Tenchu(ps1) and Snatcher(Sega CD) 2 of my top 10 fav games of all time.

Also i remember is saved all my money to buy a PS1 and jut luckly grabbed RE1 and it is maybe my favorite singular game of all time.

Rybakov5173d ago

miss those days and when online first started everyone was polite instead of screaming dude things at the top of there lungs

BlackTar1875173d ago

yea i remeber playing Socom 1 and everyone was so nice etc. times have changed.

Obv socom 1 wasn't my 1st online game but it was my first non lan online game that i had a mic for.

Rybakov5173d ago

aw man unreal on xbox was the best online experience i ever had so long ago.......

MGRogue20175173d ago (Edited 5173d ago )

Hackers will always win.. unfortunately.

BlackTar1875173d ago

this is true. Just like with all criminals in every facet of life. Good guys are always playing catch up you cannot anticipate everything. Its just not possible

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 Souls5496d ago

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

Godmars2905496d ago (Edited 5496d 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.

ClownBelt5496d 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-Pyro5496d 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.

Anon73495496d 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.

RedDevils5495d ago

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

ThanatosDMC5496d ago

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