They don't, so they either don't bother writing a story or very clearly say that they have no way of verifying whether the threat is legit or not. If legal, then they should provide us with the chatlog to read for ourselves.
I think any news reporting such ambiguous things like this should be required by law to do it like that. Doing it any other way is profiteering of off fear-mongering in my opinion.

Why doesn't Sony just delete all the credit card and personal info while still offline. If people want to re-enter it, then that's their prerogative, but purge that shit now!

Time to call in Seal Team 6. I'm fucking sick to death of hackers.

If this is true I'm guessing the hackers were able to go in and probably grab all the admin passwords to all of the systems so if any part of the system didn't have all passwords reset, it would be easy to hack into again. And theres the possibility that there are other security issues in the system other than the reported use of an old version of Apache.

I am still outraged.
If they want to "have fun with Sony" then go and change their main-pages to pictures of lemon parties, go write "We're still here", and some other crappy things like that.
But they going around specifically looking for credit card numbers, personal info, and similar data; to then publish it or try to sell it? Yeah...have fun guys.

They'd lose all of their memberships. Its certainly an option, but they'd lose a ton of monies if they went that route.FleckSplat said:
What percentage of customers do you think would re-up? Hell, how many subscriptions do they have on the books for customers who have forgotten they even signed up?
These are the woes of e-commerce, and especially subscription services.
So wait...
They hack the PS3 console because they don't like how Sony took away OtherOS. Then they hack the PSN because they don't like how Sony responded to the hacking of its console. Now they're going to hack it again because they don't like how Sony responded to the hack. Do they not see the pattern here?
I don't actually think this story is legit, well, someone probably did say something like this in an IRC chat. I just find the rationale hilarious.

Wouldn't Sony be able to put some dummy servers on like, see what hits it's gets and trace it back to the perps?

I find it amusing how easily people trust CNET's article based on information from an informant who claims he/she saw someone threaten to hack PSN on IRC when we've been telling people to disregard twitter and other forum posts saying PSN is back up for the last few days.

I'm certainly curious if they'll mention these events in their E3 conference or not.

Quick, someone threaten to hack PSN so I can whine to CNET that the hackers are gearing up for a third attack on NeoGAF, too!

I doubt those who did so before will change their mind because CNET decided to write an article about someone on the internet who supposedly threatened to hack the PSN again.

Did anyone actually defend the group of hackers who stole the personal information?
I thought their actions had met with widespread condemnation, along with Sony for not providing suitable security for their collected data.
