PCI standard requires at least 128. After that it's up to the vendor.sajj316 said:
Edit: Technically it requires "Strong Cryptography". So they could have used any of the following.
"Cryptography based on industry-tested and accepted algorithms, along with
strong key lengths and proper key-management practices. Cryptography is a
method to protect data and includes both encryption (which is reversible) and
hashing (which is not reversible, or one way). SHA-1 is an example of an
industry-tested and accepted hashing algorithm. Examples of industry-tested
and accepted standards and algorithms for encryption include AES (128 bits
and higher), TDES (minimum double-length keys), RSA (1024 bits and higher),
ECC (160 bits and higher), and ElGamal (1024 bits and higher)."

Got the email today (i forgot i had a account for my PSP).
I would hope the people making such claims are employing a tad more subtlety and contextIchigoSharingan said:
Regardless, I disagree it's necessarily fallacious ... depending on the situation. If one is using it to outright dismiss the situation or downplay the severity, then certainly it has no bearing. If however one is specifically arguing against those maintaining this situation is without precedence or that it is inherently due to negligence on Sony's side, then I think it is a valid point to make.
It all depends on how the person is employing the argument.
See above.IchigoSharingan said:
Out of curiosity, did you just take a argumentation/critical thinking/informal logic class at University or something?
I kid. One thing I had previously agreed upon was that there appears to be a valid argument regarding Sony's handling of the situation vis-à-vis disclosure (particularly by delaying dissemination of information). After now reading some of those industry statistics on underreporting, I'm not so sure I even agree on that point anymore.
Sure we can whine that they could have been more apologetic, but beyond that it appears they've acted with more transparency than is the norm in similar cases. If anything we should be applauding their candor, not criticizing it as some sort of cover up campaign.

Maybe. But even if we dont get a name or names, i hope we get some confirmation anyway if the PSN hackers get caught. Not sure if Sony would be the one who decide this type of announcement though, isnt it usually the FBI/police who release this info to the press?No45 said:I think Sony making a "martyr" of any more of the hacking community right now wouldn't be a great idea.

A free month of PS+ to restore confidence in PSN, or maybe a movie or a $20 credit.

Giving out $20 to every PSN account would cost Sony over 1.5 billion US dollars (if all credit is being spent that is). But giving away a free month of PS+ could actually be a good idea, hoping that people will contunie to subscribe to PS+ after this =)Dedication Through Light said:

Quite good actually. Thought i would be missing PSN more. I've starting to play some singleplayer instead (got Mortal Kombat 9 today as well). I will play online as soon as possible when PSN gets back up thoughDabanton said:

But, again, I would argue that it's important to remember: they've completely taken down the service for more than a week right now. Either one of two things is true here:Raistlin said:
A. Sony, showing a callous disregard for making money and a dedication to their consumers information, has gone above and beyond the standard norm that most other companies adhere to. They should be applauded. Most others would have continued on with business as usual, and few would have been any the wiser. But not Sony! Because, you know, they're more awesome than that.
B. This breach is more serious than most others. Realizing the severity, the immediately had to shut it down and bring in outside experts because this was beyond being just a minor, trivial breach that happens every day in this brave, new, connected world.

Well, I've also got a PC and a 360, but I need the damn PS3 to activate my Portal 2 copy, which I really want to experience on a PC first. Couldn't have come at a worse time actually.

bad gameplay lol

Playing a lot of PS2 stuff. Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2, Dynasty Warriors 4 (ahh nostalgia), Crimson Tears, etc. Got plenty of singleplayer games to play on the PS3, but playing PS3 at all without PSN just feels...empty. So yeah, whatevs, got plenty of entertaining PS2 stuff to play.
Still want PSN back ASAP, of course. I needs me some online MK, and I'd like to get back into MAG as well.

I played through Code Veronica for the first time over the weekend, the same copy I bought 10 years ago when it released on PS2. Was fun. I also noticed that Flower doesn't work when not signed in to PSN, at least for me. A message comes up that says something about renewing the license for the game, whatever that means.

Question for legal-GAF or those of you who may know:
If/when the hackers get caught, anybody have an idea of what sort of legal penalty they'll be facing? Just curious, as I imagine this downtime is costing Sony a fortune.

so I got a $20 PSN card today, can you not buy them in $10 incriments? That sucks, I will miss using my CC for that. Oh well.
I wish this would hurry up so I can buy Outland and Beyond Good & Evil(when it comes out next month.)

They do have $10 PSN cards, but they're a lot harder to find.RPGCrazied said:
