Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
Setzer, after reading your story, I checked the card account I used. Nothing so far, but it persuaded me to call the company and get a new card.
Hope everything in fixing the issue goes smoothly. I had a time where my bank called me about some charges, only to find that my card number had been stolen. Thankfully, they fixed it pretty quickly. |
Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
I hope that's just unfortunate coincidence, Setzer, and not evidence that not only have thieves stolen cc data from PSN (which was unconfirmed earlier, though we know now that SOE has definitely had cc's stolen) but that they've decrypted it as well. Good luck.
So DC Universe Online will be pretty much dead in the water now, huh? |

by Alexander Sliwinski (20 minutes ago) http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.c...umakeup530.jpg Sony Online Entertainment plans to give all DC Universe Online players a free month and "Batman-Inspired mask" as compensation for the current outage. The company asked players on the game's Facebook page to bear with them as "the complexities of the subscription server dictate how and when this will be available" and that the company will be releasing "more information this week." The outage is part of the overall PlayStation Network issue that resulted in SOE announcing earlier this week that 12,700 credit card numbers were taken and 24.6 million accounts were compromised. So, yeah, a free month and a virtual hat seems like a good start to an apology. |
Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
I started a thread with my story in the tech forum. Someone in Australia is using my name and email for purchases the last several days. I hadn't purchased anything on PSN in almost a year and my CC associated with it exp. But this is still very troubling. My other accounts appear fine right now.

I got a new card/# about a month before this went down. Despite that I've been checking the account every couple of days as a precaution but haven't seen anything unusual. |

Looks like the PSN is coming back online. I haven't completely logged in yet but I no longer got the "down for maintenance" message. Which is good, cause I've been wanting to download Castlevania Reverie since the 26th when it went down.

Yeah, the store won't be up until later on. I wonder if we'll be able to redeem codes though? I'm planning on getting the MK Tournament edition that comes with the Ermac retro costume. I'm tired of playing fighting games with the PS3 controller.

Sooo... who will be the first to store their credit card on the PSN store? :lol:

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
If you don't want to risk having your cc stored parallel to all your personal information, I'll be happy to store it on my account for you.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
It's sad that that's not considered "the least they could do".
I realize they don't have to do anything and maybe they wouldn't if they weren't facing a multitude of lawsuits and government inquiries. I'm just not prepared to thank them for covering their own ass after the fact. |
Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
What exactly is it you want from them? There is only so much they can do. Are you expecting them to supply some hookers or something?

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
You're the one that called it above and beyond. I was merely pointing out that I would have expected nothing less than that. Don't think they're doing it as a favor to any of us. They're doing it so they can say the class action lawsuit(s) should be thrown out because they offered this to you* and you* chose not to take it. It's a CYA move.
I'm certainly not going to start saying "good job!" to them now. *Proverbial "you". |

Right. It's the "least they can do" ;)

So maybe I mean above and beyond in the sense that they are doing far more than most companies would do in a similar situation. |
Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
I think the comp year of this service is pretty standard when a high-profile company leaks your info. A while back the Boston Globe lost all their subscribers cc info. And I got a year of one of those services. This Sony situation reminds me more of the TJX hack, not sure what those customers got. I'm satisfied with what they're offering.
