Oh whatever...
There are like a half dozen of us with a grand total of 10 bubbles between us who are trying to get the truth out there. You are not being overwhelmed by a troll crap flood, you are being overwhelmed by the truth.
PSN security was crap. Once Sony figured out that PSN had been compromised they responded in a crap way.
And I wanted to deny that it could have been caused by something as trivial as removal of Other OS, but damn, ...
What we know so far....
No VPN service was running between the PS3 and PSN. People were able to get on it, and hack it was telnet by stealing the ssl certificates from the PS3. This is also how they executed man in the middle attacks on the PS3, hacked various games etc etc etc.
The PSN is essentially just several clusters of out of date versions of Apache web servers. Some for authentication, some for image files, etc etc etc...
Because o...
I don't think either console will get a price drop this year. They both are selling really well, among their best years ever, and the wii fad is plummeting rapidly. Both companies have waited a long time to get to profitability on the consoles, and...
Well I don't know, but I wouldn't hold your breath.
Yeah but it has pro ps3 implications, so it doesn't have to follow the rules.
On the other hand, if it was talking about the slip shod security practices of Sony, well then it gets in that there pile of "deleted" articles there in the upcoming que.
hmmmmm.
Yet I get called a troll. Interesting theory.
I have a recollection of Hulu being awesome a few years ago when it first launched. But anymore they don't have the show I want to watch, it plays commercials almost as much as tv, and Netflix ends up consuming most of my tv watching time, with the very occasional trip to Red Box(I cruse by at the grocery and if I can rent the new movie on there I do...)
I will try out the free week of Hulu+ but I am not nearly excited about it now-a-days as I was say... last year.
Everyone I know with a wii uses it as a dedicated netflix device at this point...
Dude, they waited SEVEN DAYS after they knew data had been stolen.
And here we are a few days after they lied and told you that no CC#s were stolen, and lo and behold it is confirmed 2.2 million credit card numbers were stolen WITH C2V numbers.
Email addresses and passwords stored clear text. FULL F'ING STOP.
@BK-201
Im in Florida, Im all sun burned from playing all day yesterday at Islands of Adventure. I was gonna head over to Titusville today to watch the shuttle launch, well that got canceled. So here I am, not trolling at all, just pointing out the truth that you don't like to think about.
Fox News is now confirming that hackers have the numbers. Also they are confirming that Sony lied and the hackers have C2V numbers.
The hackers have obviously been in PSN for longer than Sony realized.
Fox News is now confirming that the Sony lied, and hackers have 2.2 million credit card numbers WITH C2V numbers.
@pupa,
You hurt my feelings you singled out Saftara and forgot to mention me <snif>
@below
Shep Smith just announced it, I don't have a link.
email addresses and passwords were unencrypted. FULL STOP. Both of those should have been stored in hash form on this particular network.
That means, that if you use the same password everywhere, as most people do, your email account is now compromised in addition to your PSN account.
With a ~tiny~ amount of concern Sony could have prevented those two data points from being compromised.
Sony screwed up huge. Just deal.
Wow you guys are soooooooo wrong. The DHS is lining up with every other in the government agency in the world to extract their pound of flesh from Sony, for being in violation of PCI DSS standards and a multitude of data retention and protection laws all throughout the world.
LOL.
The hackers are long gone.
This game makes me almost feel sorry for PSN fans. This game is gonna be a huge hit, and you guys don't even understand why.
Fact: comparing a phone company to a computer software company reveals your intellectual disability.
@retard below,
Go look at Apples earning reports, 80% of their revenue comes from iPhone sales, and almost all the rest comes from App sales.
Comparing Apple to Microsoft is like comparing Sony to Taco Bell.
Again, now that we have learned that psn only has 2.5 million paying customers I would say every psn store game producer in on the phone with Microsoft today signing exclusivity agreements with XBLA.
@below,
So which is it, did Sony compromise 2.5 million cc#'s as Sony claims, or is it something more than that;P
Face it, PSNA developers are gonna jump ship now, simply because Sony has had to admit how few paying customers PSN has, while X...
There was that space ship trading series X or something like that that was in the tradition of Eleet, and they were gonna do an xbox game, I want that.
Article is incorrect. Move and 3d support are not being added because NO ONE CARES. Finally, move and 3d are being put at to pasture and left to die.
I would say this article underestimates the impact of the Kinect, it is not just about motion gaming. It is the start of a revolution in computer interface design that will sweep everything that came before, mouse, touch screens, pointing devices, etc under the rug and into the dustbin of history, because it replaces and improves upon all of those techniques.
It is just that right now, the Kinect is affecting things as much as 75dpi mice, which is to say, not much.
I don't care about exclusive games, I want good games, and those seem to be xbox exclusives and the multi-plat games...
Should I break out the list showing that Crysis 2 is the best looking game this gen, and looks best on the xbox?
Naw, I will spare the world one more list, as imo lists of mediocre games are wildly over used.
Menech,
Read around a little bit more than the worthless Sony FAQ. It wasn't a single hacker inside PSN. It has been a whole bunch of hackers for several months now. Basically a cyber riot. It started right after Geohotz cracked the PS3, and they were able to copy the SSL certificates out of the PS3 firmware, and people have been mucking about PSN ever since then.
People were doing things like pwning specific servers in the various clusters and instal...
