Hey there again guys. As you know, PSN has had an "external intrusion" about a week ago. I know that it's caused a lot of rage(with me especially), but Sony says they ARE working to fix it.
I'm just going to put the most important thing out there first. According to Sony, our credit card info was encrypted and though it was stolen, it couldn't be read. So the possibility that our credit card info is safe is VERY likely. But as Sony said(and I recommend everyone do this ASAP), it is recommended that everyone keeps track of their credit card transactions over the course of PSN being down as there is still a TINY chance the hackers got our card info. So just to be on the safe, just keep track and report to the bank as SOON as there was a transaction you didn't do.
On the downside, our address information was not encrypted. So hackers currently have access to our residential and postal info. But really, what're hackers going to do with that beside send prank pizza's over.
Anyway, Sony said they're working hard on getting PSN back up and running for heir loyal gamers. They said it'll probably take a week or so, so lets just keep our fingers crossed.
Here's the link to Sony's Playstation blog ig you wanna read more

sucks the whole bit with the network going down. i don't own a ps3 but many of my friends are really upset by it
ReplyDeleteLuckily I don't own a PS3. I like the name of your blog though. It's clever.
ReplyDeleteWhole situation is quite sucky, hope they fix it soon
ReplyDeleteThat's why I play xbox
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how massive this is.
ReplyDeleteThis thing is crazy! 1Player games just are not the same!
ReplyDeleteReally getting out of hand, hopefully someone can get this under control and nobody loses too much.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to everyone!
ReplyDeleteData being encrypted = as good as being out in the open. Hackers don't care if it take 2 days or 200 days to crack, if they know that it's credit card data they WILL find a way.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy I don't have a PS3 right now.

kinda feel sorry for sony, its not like they wanted this to happen, glad i play xbox nevertheless haha! following!
ReplyDeletehehe f**** you console <3 PC !
ReplyDeleteShows you how ill prepared SONY were for something of this magnitude - Really unimpressive considering the amount of money they pump through the Playstation name
ReplyDeleteGood work on the hackers behalf lol, lets just hope they have no talent when it comes to cryptology
ReplyDeleteI would be saying I'm glad I have xbox but it's been crappy slow the last few days so the hell with them right now too.
ReplyDeleteI'd have wigged out if I saw that my account was compromised. I'm really paranoid about that, potentially having access to my credit card.
ReplyDeleteDarn you Sony!
ReplyDeleteTThe situation is bad
ReplyDelete>don't tell anyone why you are down for 6 days
ReplyDelete>CC information is safe.
I don't buy it
Another reason I just like xbox better.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog bro... following :)
ReplyDeleteOh Sony, I'll forgive you this one time. But if this happened again!
ReplyDeleteNice blog, and agree with posters about the clever name.
I guess it's good that I have an xbox. :O
ReplyDeletehey guys
ReplyDeleteYeah, in this instance its good to have an xbox, but i prefer not having to pay for my online services.
But in the end we all own something to show our love for gaming.
lets just hope sony sorts its stuff out quickly

Have they found a culprit for this yet? Just as well I went for a Wii instead (though I still think they're a waste of money)!
ReplyDeleteyea my friend was hacked
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of a shame what happened really, most people are blaming them (or, complaining about them), it's just another reason I'm glad that I'm an Xbox person.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the good news about the credit cards being encrypted
ReplyDeletewow sony im pretty tired of this -_-
ReplyDeleteentire situation is stupid
ReplyDeleteI heard somewhere that the info wasn't encrypted... Glad I own an xbox atm, a lot of my friends own ps3's and they're getting really fed up of waiting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info bro =)
ReplyDeleteReading this makes me happy to be a PC gamer, for once.
ReplyDeleteill be busy playingg halo reach ONLINE
ReplyDeletethanks for the heads up, appreciate it
