Actually from what I know anonimous said they didn't do it and when they do something they usually take credit. And they haven't stolen any personal info before. What we probably have is a group of pro Internet thieves trying to buy a swimming pool with your money.

Have they even know whos doing this or are they still on the loose?

Tom Sharkwash 04-29-2011 01:38 AM

Well good news, the credit cards numbers were encrypted so the hacker(s) can't get to them, unless they break the code.

The Skirata Clan 04-29-2011 02:47 AM

Which they probably will given that they did hacked in PSN.

Well thats good news. But I just read this article. "PSN breach could cost Sony 24 million." This must have been a huge crack.

Tom Sharkwash 04-29-2011 03:14 AM

I think 24 billion is way to big of a number! I read the article and I don't see how all of that could add up to 24 billion.

Actually I heard the data was un encrypted I also heard that there is a reward for info leading to the person. The FBI is also involved.

Tom Sharkwash 04-29-2011 03:30 AM

Sony said that it was encrypted, but who knows how strong it was. Man I am SO glad I didn't
give them my credit card!

The Skirata Clan 04-29-2011 03:32 AM

It also took them a few days to admit they were hacked, so the info is dubious.

bartholomew bladeroberts 04-29-2011 03:36 AM

That's because they didn't know the problem they only informed people when they found that info was comprimised

So you think a billion dollar company wouldn't encrypt something so important?

The Skirata Clan 04-29-2011 03:45 AM

I think they should or are supposed to. What I mean is that at this point they will say anything to protect themselves. It's damage control on two fronts. They will try to make sure that the Consumers are at ease while preparing for the lawsuit that is coming, and they are trying to bring their network defenses up.

Quick update:

This has made national news.
Sony has not announced any info about WHO, or if they have been identified or caught.
Whoever did it had free access to every single bit of personal data that had ever been entered, including, but not limited to, names, addresses, email, payment info, etc.

bartholomew bladeroberts 04-29-2011 07:14 PM

They still dont know who did it

blaster54 04-30-2011 12:08 AM

Yea playstation thing everybody has been saying this through out the whole 8th grade.
