lol! For those that have had fraudulent activity could you give a description of where the charges stem from? I have been scanning my credit card activity everyday and haven't seen anything yet but I would also like to know what these stolen numbers are being used to buy.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

Sorry to steer the conversation away from The Breach for a minute, but does anyone use a Sony PS3 as a 3D BR player? I just hooked up my new Sharp 3D HDTV. It can play 3D PS3 games (Killzone 3 was pretty badass in 3D), and play 3D HBO On Demand, but I couldn't play my Tangled 3D BR. I have firmware 3.60, so from what I read, it should work. I did see that on CNET they couldn't play some 3D BR with the fat 60 GB (the model I have), but this is a new 3D disc and I would think that it should work. Any one with experience?

I have a launch 20gig system and it plays all my 3D BD discs fine. I don't have Tangled though so I can't comment on that title in particular.

My cousin had a similar problem playing 3d movies on a new tv. He had to go into the settings and pick his hdmi setting again so the tv would recognize it properly. Hope this helps.

Just read on another website that people's credit and debit cards have started to get hit. Cancel them now if you haven't already done so.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

"another website" is pretty reliable...

Finally decided to call and cancel my debit card and get a new one issued. Once I get it, I have to update my bill payment accounts that use that number.

I haven't seen any odd activity on my account, but I don't want to take a chance.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

I had no trouble playing Tangled 3D on my setup. I have the 40GB fat, though.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

I did the same finally canceled 2 cards I had used on psn, no sense taking a chance.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

I finally got the email from Sony today. Luckily my PSN account did not have a cc attached to it only PSN cards. Also I'm pretty sure my address is out of date.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

I hadn't purchased anything through PSN since 2009 using the credit card. I have gotten stuff recently through redeemable codes, trials, or free stuff. I don't know how or if they got numbers if the credit card had to have been used recently or since the last hacking event. Or, if it just needed to be linked to the account.

I'd rather not wake up one day and find all my money gone. Sure, I could probably get it back, but thats a hassle I'd rather not go through.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

I'm one of the fools who used a debit card, but i finally called and canceled it today...it it would have been a CC, i would have just waited and disputed any charges, but if they take all of my money I'm hosed.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

Thankfully I never purchased anything online from PSN. I never even bothered logging into my account once I created it, since I do all my multiplayer gaming on Xbox.

I hope everybody on here gets through this without any hassle of stolen CC info.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

That was my thought. I don't have a credit card, so my bank debit card is used for everything. I always run it as a c redit card for store and online purchases. And it is used for online bill payments at places like AT&T, electric & gas, etc.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

Sony Online Entertainment has confirmed that their records are all fine. They are the people behind a couple MMO games, including DC Universe online. They said they kept all their CC and personal info data completely separate from the PSN. They said they are still investigating to make sure, but there are no signs whatsoever that someone hacked into their system.

They have said too that they are looking for some way to make it up to the PS3 users who play their games, since they are currently paying a subscription but can not play due to the PSN outage.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

Just canceled my debit card. 3-5 business days to get a replacement. Woo-ha.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

Originally I wasn't going to but I went ahead and cancelled my Debit Card today. Didn't want to to toy with the chance. Having a new one shipped out to me as we speak.

Still need to head to the bank on my next day off to get a Temporary Card.

I've only had one issue so far -- I think it was with Cloudy w/ a Chance of Meatballs... but Tron was absolutely fantastic on it. I think some discs are simply not compatible with all players (yet).

Welp, the fbi is now in on it. Whoever did it is in for a world of hurt if they're caught.

And according to the note sent from the Attorney General Sony might be in some deep shit too.

This is much worse than I had originally thought. I just got my email from Sony today, ridiculous. On top of that, I bet PSN will most likely crash again as soon as it goes back up do to everybody in the world logging in, updating their trophies and downloading stuff at the same time. I still can't get over how they stored our passwords.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

My card's fraud department called me on the 15th to tell me they saw a suspicious .90 charge from two days earlier with "Somalian Sweets" - or I suppose she could have meant "Suites." I told her it wasn't my charge so they closed the account before any more activity could continue.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

a little ahead of the timeline as you said, but either way it sounds like someone was just testing it to see if it still worked before they went crazy.
