Online Bank on PSN Hack: Enough Information Hasn’t Been Compromised

When Sony had said that every PlayStation Network account may have and could be compromised, PSN users feared the worst; more so for their bank accounts that is linked with their PSN account. An online bank has now calmed fears by stating that enough information hasn’t been compromised to block their customer’s cards.

What's up with that title?

"Enough Information Hasn’t Been Compromised"

I'm unhappy to not read that there wasn't a hack that didn't get all the information to not compromise the bank not because there wasn't enough information not taken from the hack.

Enough information hasn’t been compromised to block their customer’s cards.

riksweeney5513d ago

I was referring to the very bad grammar. It should really say

"Not enough information has been compromised"

or

"Not enough information was compromised"

Finally, an honest perspective from a bank.

Joe29115513d ago

I think I'll wait to hear from the likes of Lloyds TSB, Natwest and HSBC before I make my mind up of the extent of the breach. Never even heard of Smile.

"We dont believe at this time enough information has been compromised to put your account at risk"

gaffyh5513d ago

Makes perfect sense to me, basically, your bank details are safe.

DanSolo5513d ago (Edited 5513d ago )

@ joe

I just got off of the phone with Natwest as I rang them to ask if they thought it worth cancelling my card and they told me that even if any unauthorised transactions are made with that card, then you would be reimbursed the full amount, probably on the same day that you reported it!

@Riksweeney

Yeah mate, that is some pretty bad grammar!

Yea I got in touch with my CC companies and bank a little ago and all of them said that I shouldn't worry to much. Pretty sure they already know a bit more than us as to what was leaked(I'm sure Sony sent them more info than us). Pretty much ended up with them saying they will keep a better eye on my accounts, and if any fraudulent charges are made even with the increased security that I would have no trouble disputing them.

So don't go out freaking out and canceling all of your cards. You simply need to get in touch with your CC companies(phone or on their website on your online account) and inform them of the situation. Stopping into your bank doesn't hurt either, although mine said it is fine since I don't have an online account anyway so they would block and flag any withdrawals like that.. So the someone would have to do it in person which would be stupid unless if I have some long lost twin brother.

jerethdagryphon5513d ago

well other then things i cant change all info cards and passwords relating to my psn account have been altered paranoia for the win

Call_me_Ishmael5513d ago

And all those articles about 'my money was taken,im broke!!!'
just made themselves look retarded

TBM5513d ago

True I was never worried as I have fraud protection. If you don't have that then its your own fault if something happens to your account.

I just most of my morning dealing with my idiot 360 fanboy friend who constantly made himself sound completely stupid.

william25025513d ago

Get this to the top news story STAT!

Capdastaro5513d ago

I used to work for Smile at The Pyramid, awful place to work like but I trust what they are saying.

Tired5513d ago

A voice of reason...FINALLY!

Not the first time my account information has been compromised and I doubt it to be the last. A sign of the times I fear.

On a happier note, I checked my bank account details for strange activity and found out my mobile phone provider had been rinsing me for the past 6 months. 2 sets of insurance and some kind of idiot 'helpline'. I've been paying them £30 a month for ages.

Moral of the story....EVERYONE should read their statements.

ikkeweer5513d ago (Edited 5513d ago )

lol,
You call finding out your telephone company has screwed you over for six months a "happier note"?

Edit: OK, I see that your happy you caught it, but I'd still be more pissed then happy. Then again, its a phone-company, it was to be expected.

Tired5513d ago

Yes I'm happy I caught it, Who knows how long I could have left it.

frostypants5513d ago (Edited 5513d ago )

My cell phone company does this to me all the time. When I complain and say I want to cancel (because even if they fix it, they do it again the very next month), they then hang the contract cancellation fee over my head. SUCH bs.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5836d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905836d ago (Edited 5836d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5836d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5836d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495836d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5835d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5836d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
