sorry for asking this, What about our trophies?

bahahaha.. this is a comment from the ps blog explaining why it took so long to inform customers about the intrusion..

PS CEO "Hi.. Someones hacke in and stolen your information and could commit fraud in your name"

arkard1000: Yes.. But do we still have our trophies?

this must obviously be a kid who doesnt care that his parents details have possibly been stolen

Hence my comment earlier Sony kept it under wraps for so long because now they are liable GG Sony

PSN data leak cost could top $24 billion - Report

http://au.gamespot.com/news/6310436.html?tag=recent_news%3Btitle%3B4

"Even larger could be the cost from the potential information theft. In an article today, Forbes cites data-security research firm The Ponemon Institute as estimating the "cost of a data breach involving a malicious or criminal act" was, on average, $318 per compromised account. Given the most recent PSN population estimate, that formula puts the potential cost as being over $24 billion."

That's a lot of fkn money. It could also actually mean the end for Sony.

I thought it could end badly I don't think it would spell the end

The US is getting the FBI to look into the breach as well as many other countries starting to involve their respected law enforcement guys.

Yes another fkn gamespot link - they've got so many new articles on the subject just today.

77 million user accounts - not all have credit card numbers but even if only a quarter of those users have a credit card assigned to their account, that's still over 19 million credit card numbers.

These hackers are gonna be so dead after all of this.

I want $318 for grievance pay at having to change all my passwords and get a new card

and shit

and having to empty out my account and dumping it in my netbank saver (haha dream boats try and use my details now when there's only $0.48 in my main account)

[PM-R33]

Fucking hell! If Sony goes on the verge of bankrpucy over this some one should kill that dickhead hacker. I don't care what reason they had, this has gone WAY to far. I love my Playstation and I want number four to come out one day

Sony will get their money back somehow.. I would just leave it.. One way or another you will be required to pay it back.. I can see them introducing a subscription fee being introduced to play online..

True, I'll be good. I like that PSN is free... Although the latest update says that CC information was "encrypted" but doesn't say if the decryption key was left laying around:

hackers need to get a girlfriend and learn that there is more to life than throwing a tantrum and hacking someone because they did something they didn't like. most of these hackers would throw the biggest tantrum if they were on the recieving end of something like this.

i don't have any of my bank account/cc details on there so that side of it doesn't affect me.

[PM-R33]

Yeah same. Doesn't effect me money security wise. Just pisses me off that some one elses choice to "get back" at Sony instead pisses millions of other people off and puts the whole company in jeporady.

[hksgtrpwr]

Think I'm going to start using my xbox 360 again! Live was way more reliable and just better all round.

[Darmanin10]

when accepting this free "welcome back" goodies you waive all rights to sue SCEU and subsidiaries

[LANDSCRIBBLE]

sony should deploy some pirate ninja assassins to go out and hunt this hacking bastard! dead or alive

[Spurdo]

so amongst all these announcements theres still no definitive date to expect to see it working again? or did i miss something

[mad082]

so it's a phased rollout of the new PSN, meaning it will be up and running for a few days/weeks before australia's is up and running again, lol

[hksgtrpwr]

Fkn useless hackers absolutely good for nothing.

[funkymonkey]

PSN was hacked not via a PS3, but a PC emulating a PS3 from what I read. PS3 hash being leaked had nothing to do with that. Sony just sucked at protocol encryption.

There's hackers who hack because they don't like the way a product functions, and there's hackers who hack to steal. Know the difference.

Besides... who uses non disposable credit card accounts with no overdraw or low limits on the internet these days? What are you 50 and technologically illiterate?
