Oh my Gee Wiz, Sony!

[KYThrill]

Some one just broke in my house Thursday, turned on my PS3 and took off with 7 of my games but nothing else. Weird stuff Pissed me off but nothing I can do now, just out 7 games, mostly new ones.

That's just Sony beta testing their new buyback plan.

Update to the SOE break in

Update: According to the Wall Street Journal, Sony has also confirmed that the latest attack accessed personal information for a staggering 24.6 million accounts. Such info includes names, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, gender, date of birth, login ID, and hashed passwords. Ruh roh.

Combine this with the 77 million from psn and Sony has broken 100 million! Way to go!

I read a statement from Sony that claimed this occurred as part of the original attack.. Which raises the obvious question.. Do they really have any clue what actually happened yet, or are they still digging around trying to figure it out?

Report: Sony hit with second attack, loses 12,700 credit card numbers

Oh man. Someone must really hate Sony.

Hackers must be Xbots.

Seriously, Sony's under siege. Also, I canceled my old card number and pulled a new one. Crisis averted?

It was about month ago (or so) my friend told me about an email from sony about changes to his everquest account. He hadnt subscribed or logged in for a few years. He called them and they were of no help. The news today, combined with my friends info, it had to be at least a month ago that they actualy got the data on the soe/everqeust side. I'm sure others in the sony mmo world will see changes on their accounts if their email address is still active.

I get one everyday from Blizzard about Warcraft even though I havent Played for years. It turns out to be fake and they want you to click on the link to steal my info. They have said billing on some, selling of accounts and one had the US Marshal Service mentioned. Your friends might have gotten a fake e-mail on his account.

It's not a very good phishing scheme, although I bet some would fall for it. For me though, its kinda funny since I have NEVER played World of Warcraft. lol

It is a relief to know that people without accounts get them too.. I was wondering for a while if Blizzard had sold my email address or had a breach they hadn't notified people of or weren't aware of.

It's called kicking them when they're down. Especially if you don't want them up again anytime soon.

They need to call Steven Siegall...

My bank just called me and advised me to cancel and replace my credit card. I had initially decided to simply set an e-mail alert on all charges and I was monitoring my account closely but it seems they 're strongly suggesting to all their clients who 've had dealings wth Sony to replace their credit cards.
It's a bit of a hassle but after the second Sony breach I think it's probably a good idea.

I'm thinking about switching over to 360 for multiplat games. This entire debacle is leaving a bad taste in my mouth.
