Ghozer   112 #89 Posted April 27, 2011 Latest I have found/seen...  Sony has finally come clean about the "external intrusion" that has caused the company to take down the PlayStation Network service, and the news is almost as bad as it can possibly get. The hackers have all your personal information, although Sony is still unsure about whether your credit card data is safe. Everything else on file when it comes to your account is in the hands of the hackers. In other words, Sony's security has failed in a spectacular fashion, and we're just now finding out about it. In both practical and PR terms, this is a worst-case scenario.  http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2011/04/sony-admits-utter-psn-failure-your-personal-data-has-been-stolen.ars  Confirmed here on the official blog..  http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/04/26/update-on-playstation-network-and-qriocity/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Magilla   510 #91 Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) Go away troll.  I'm not the one looking desperate  Can you even say why you *think* the PS3 has been a "complete" disaster, or would that require too much thought?  You previously said because "of this thread", so can we assume it wasn't a disaster a couple of weeks ago, or aren't you sure about that either?

It's a PR disaster!  Have to agree it is a PR nightmare, no doubt it'll effect them badly, but I think they will recover. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It was a good point someone made earlier about how many parents who have used their cards to pay for stuff who will be unaware of this.  They will get their wrists slapped by the Information Commission; and as I read a comment elsewhere, this can only serve to make it stronger, it's just a shame it happened in the first place.  Should it really take this long to fix though?

HarrietStar   10 #94 Posted April 27, 2011 it's very worrying they have personal and possibly financial details. what was just an inconvenience is now a big concern. and I'm not sure really what Sony are doing about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Oddgitt   10 #96 Posted April 27, 2011 To be brutally honest I don't see how Sony can recover from this... It's a PR disaster!  It's going to be a huge blow, short term, and will likely result in a hefty fine. But I can't see it affecting them too much.  People have a short memory. When the network is back online, people get back gaming, new titles will be released it won't be long before it's all forgotten.
