So, apparently on April 19th, someone hacked into Sony's database and now has access to 77,000,000 PSN people's Usernames, Passwords, Credit cards, date of birth, addresses, and phone numbers, and it's all being leaked online.
They just told the public about it Tuesday, but they haven't caught the hacker yet.

I should add, if you are a PSN member with a credit card on file you can visit their blog for any answers you may have regarding your personal informations.

PlayStation....... Meh. I gotta Xbox. And who the hell hands out personal information to a company capable of being hacked. [I added fake info for my Xbox Live account, and pretty much everyting I sign up for, except Gamefly. ]
It may seem like it won't happen or the odds aren't that big, but if 77k people victims of it who's to say the entire PSN isn't at risk of being hacked.
They should have like state of the art security or something like that right? Ya know, to PREVENT these types of occurrences. Just sayin, epic fail on PSN and Sony's side. Major win for the hacker. He's gonna do some time if he's caught. :thumbsup:

This actually remind me of this other website that got hacked. The website was Gawker Media and around 1.2 MILLION account passwords were exposed. The article was posted on Urlesque.com You can view it here
Gawker Hacked, 1.2 Million Passwords Exposed, We Post to Nick Denton's Flickr - Urlesque

I believe i read its 77 million not 77,000
- 28 Apr. 2011 03:19pm #19
Shit, really? My bad man. Thought it was 77k. Damn shame though. Poor little PS3 lovers.
OP says 77k that's why I posted that. ^
Here it is from the article. You were right bro.
"personal details of more than 70 million PlayStation Network and Qriocity users were stolen."
Fuckin PSN. Too bad they don't have better security like XBL.Last edited by Onikokiro; 28 Apr. 2011 at 03:24pm.

There's a rumor going on that Sony is only using this as a coverup story.
Again, it's a rumor.. believe or not

Imagine how open this makes Sony though.
The entire industry could be corrupt over this.
That could put thousands out of jobs.
They want to be as nice to users now as humanly possible.
It'd probably be cake to just socially engineer a PS3 right now.☜(* x *)☞FOOL ON COOL GENERATION

I'm jealous though because when it goes back up i bet the users are getting a ton of free shit.
