I was definitely hoping for a more specific return window.
So no CC info and no passwords were leaked.... Soooooo many BS articles lied about this or made rumors from stupid NeoGoof troll posts and clueless idiots who got their info stolen from other sources.
" While the passwords that were stored were not “encrypted,” they were transformed using a cryptographic hash function. There is a difference between these two types of security measures which is why we said the passwords had not been encrypted. But I want to be very clear that the passwords were not stored in our database in cleartext form. For a description of the difference between encryption and hashing, follow this link."
so no one email was hacked into like that past article stated then?
Ya wolf there is a very good chance that article is FAKE!!! Just like the articles saying people had thousands of dollars taken from the credit/debit cards because of PSN.. They probably had the money taken but it was probably due to the fact that they replied to that Nigerian with 59 million dollars....
That's the thing. Sony is taking their time to create stronger security measures and they are keeping their customers updated on this. Apparently some people in the comments don't care about these security enhancements... All they care about is knowing when PSN will back online so that they can go play CoD.
Yah, they said online play will be available soon, hopefully before tomorrow / the release of MS:A, and the other functions will return within a month (most likely the PSN store, adding funds, and such).
I have to show my fellow gamers some love no matter the console, I just wish other xbox fanboys would wake up and realize what just happened to millions and millions of gamers.
Awesome, so most of the fanatical stories that were posted last week were total BS. The media for the most part did a great job lieing to us, what a shame. Good to know that Sony did in some sort encrypted our passwords.
Course they were BS. Most of the media news that gets posted have no idea what they are talking about or just wants to get in with the hits. It's all about hits to them, even if they have to make up a story
ya people were saying that they weren't encrypted and getting people worried and now we find out they were using a method better than encryption in this scenario.
Oh my god really? The top 6 news articles on N4G about the whole PSN thing. Sure it's important but I'd actually like to read a bit more about games once in a while...
Your at the wrong place if you want to read about games... Didn't you know this is a troll site? If you want to read about games I would use a different source lol.
Sony Corp. says that hackers may have taken personal information from an additional 24.6 million user accounts after a review of the recent PlayStation Network breach found an earlier intrusion at its online entertainment division.
The data loss comes on top of the 77 million PlayStation accounts it has already said were jeopardized by a malicious intrusion.
The breach occurred April 16 and 17 -- before the PlayStation break-in. About 10,700 direct debit records of customers in Austria, Germany, the Netherlands and Spain may have been stolen.
A further 12,700 credit or debit card numbers elsewhere outside the U.S. may also have been stolen, it said. Sony says it shut service to Sony Online Entertainment games such as "DC Universe Online" early Monday morning.
Like i stated before the media has overblown some parts of the issue to almost titantic proportions. They assume that they hackers have their hands on 78 million creditcards when the truth is that the informations was encryptid.
For PSN being free and all I am impressed with how sony is handling the issue. And despite what some people might say PSN shall be back soon and they wont charge you for multiplayer. Knowing that Sony will do anything they can to prevent this from happening again is a sign that they really do care about PSN users. Even though the majority of them have free accounts.
Of course dont get me wrong they care about us because we buy content from PSN from them and that is something they dont want to loose because of this incident.
sony bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla me : what about online and .... sony bla bla bla bla blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaa ok Can you please just give me the date when ... sony bla bla bla bla bla
Cntd. I bought another new 360 about 2-3yrs ago after I was sure the problem was more or less fixed due to Falcon chip, but 1 week after purchase I loaded up a game & was playing then all of a sudden after less than 1hr of play..kaput, 3RR'sOD. I returned the machine, & the dude serving said these chips didn't resolve the problem, but a new version had been released with a newer chip that was better....I trusted the clerk & took the new version instead of a refund, Wii or 2nd PS3....and this 360 is still going (touch wood), although it has had sweet F.A. usage due to my massive collection of PS3 titles (exclusives & most multiplats). So seing desperate MS fanboys jump on Sony's ass about something that was beyond there control is weaksauce as opposed to the RROD epidemic that is still pathetically high....and the media hammering Sony & letting MS off the hook for a worse problem due to the fact that it's MS's fault completely & was not sorted out before 360's release & still isn't, is completely baffling. MS has successfully swept the RROD problem under the rug....and now MS fanboys see fit to compare a total hardware system meltdown that renders your entire consoles functions useless due to being fucking broken due to the fact the machines design was a fault ridden shitbox of an idea, and MS's woeful display in admitting the problem hurriedly & then when finally disclosing the fact the machine had faults, they undersold the percentages by about 77%, to Sony's online service being hacked into by thieving criminals...Way to go to show your desperation at the Sony hate girls...I thought the repeated Riiiiiiidge Raacer, & giant enemy crab was weaksauce, then the, "but teh PS3 has NOOO games", pathetic desperation took it's place,.....but now the hatred from fanboys being pissed with Sony for "allowing our information to be stolen", like they actually own a PS3, like they actually had hundreds of $$$$$ stolen from Sony for allowing there information to be used by the lovely innocent hackers.
Keep those updates coming Sony.
It will be up by tomorrow
