In this edition of Feedback, Adam Sessler and the G4 team discuss the recent hack attack on the PlayStation Network and what that means for Sony's future. Also, the crew offers up their impressions on the Gears of War 3 multiplayer beta.
CYBER SECURITY CONNECT writes: "Relative ransomware newcomers have claimed to have succeeded in what could be a devastating ransomware attack on global entertainment giant Sony.
Ransomed.vc has only been operating since September, despite some links to previous forums and groups. However, in that time, the group has racked up an impressive number of victims – and Sony is one of them."
Admin note: This may or may not have anything to do with PlayStation specifically, but as they claim to have hacked 'all of Sony systems' we'll include it as part of the rumor and allow it on N4G until it is made more clear the level of information obtained.

Cool hope we get some info on Sony's future gaming plans like the FTC leak MS gaming plans.
Replies(4)Why do would their plans matter? It’s not like you’d get the games any sooner.
I don't want their games as i play games on Xbox. I want info released like on Sony's 3rd part deals so MS can swoop in and make counter deals with 2 to 3 times more money.

If ms could do that they would have already, peaked info or not. They dont have the fanbase to do it.
@battlestar23 ... so then you DO want their games HAHA, just another MS goon. That's okay, because that's usually the position for those who are "low-functioning" LOL.
Facts don’t matter to some people, BurritoWarrior, especially when it doesn’t fit into their agenda.
Somehow a question that I was legitimately asking Battlestar is inappropriate, but condoning the theft of others information for one’s own benefit/curiosity is somehow appropriate?
I am legitimately curious as to what would make someone think the way Battlestar is thinking and gave them the benefit of the doubt that they are either trolling or too young to understand the implications this has on real peoples lives. There are employees of Sony, real people, who could be heavily impacted by this.
What’s deemed inappropriate seems completely backwards in this situation IMO.
I am unable to tell if you are deliberately hard shilling for the upset reactions or if you do actively abide by what you say.
Let's hope it's the first one.
"So MS can swoop in and make counter deals with 2-3 times more money". Why didn't they do that with FFXVI then considering SE went directly to them 🙃
lol hope, so much hoping for a poor mans xbox. keep up the hope boy. you'll get there one day.
They've been trying to get there for 20 yrs but no luck yet, MS and their small fanbase need another 20 yrs in the market I guess lol
nice episode G4. These people can't go 10 secs without bashing on Sony. Playstation hate on American gaming sites is bigger than Xbox love on American gaming sites.
COD lovers too. Oh and Kinect is absolutely awesome /s.
Next week....Why We Think PSN Sucks and the following week...Why PS3 Exclusives are nothing to talk about...and the following week...Why Halo 12 Will be the best game Ever...
Sound familiar?
this Adam Sessler is really pissing me off.
i hate this website, so much bias stuff.
