ctrl f'ed my email address and it's not there, yay!

Me either.

 

[Dawg]

I entered quite a few of those email addresses in the "forgot password?" section of SEN simply to check what would happen. Worst case scenario: someone gets a mail.

Turns out almost all of them were not valid.

 

[blankempathy]

from ddos attacks to hacking many major online companies. seems a bit off.

 

[Skux]

There are a lot of these claims.

Most the time they haven't hacked the services directly, but have obtained weak passwords from forums and other online sites.

 

[killer rin]

Yeah. I call bullshit.

Edit: Not to mention, I would hope that those employed by 2k Gaming Studios would be more mature... and you know actually have an @2k.com email address. I mean seriously, look at these

Spoiler

Don't worry, I starred out the emails in case they are real... Which they obviously aren't

[LookAtMeGo]

This is the scariest part. You can apparently tweet a pastebin out with alleged details, send some quotes to a news outlet, and get a story published like this where the claims are simply taken as fact.

Note the lack of words like "allegedly" in this article. Terrible reporting.

And say things like "this is just a small sample of what we have.. muahaha" that way if your not on the list... you might still be on the list!! Lol. Fuck this. I'll wait for an official word.

 

[Toki767]

I bet at least half of those logins don't even work.

 

[FinalStageBoss]

Look at the password list, it's fake as fuck.

 

[Vashetti]

Updated my PSN password just in case.

You should do it every few months regardless.

 

[ShogunDarius]

windows live? that isnt anything to do with hotmail is it?

 

[PetriP-TNT]

I bet this is the same list as the "1 billion hacked Gmail accounts" that arises every other week.

 

[CambriaRising]

This smells like bullshit.

 

[Kup]

Updated my passwords just in case... it was about time I changed my passwords anyway.

 

[Super Stardust]

I just enabled two step verification on all my accounts to be safe. At least something good came out of all this

 

[CozMick]

windows live? that isnt anything to do with hotmail is it?

Pretty sure it is.

Hotmail
Live
Outlook.

 

[Maximus.]

We need a new way of logging into websites. Too many fucking passwords and too much bullshit with all these hackers.

 

[SpecialAgentZ]

Anyone here on the list? Or it's just fake?

CTRL + F = nothing.

 

[Yazuka]

Mine wasn't on the list either. Thank god.

 

[televator]

Is this for real? Where the hell are the journalists on this?

 

[The Dear Leader]

Isn't that pastebin just a portion of the supposed 7 million+ accounts? I changed mine to be safe, but I wouldn't write it off if your name doesn't show up in the pastebin.

 

[Sidewinder]

None of my accounts are on the list, nobody wants my data, foreveralone ;(

 

[killer rin]

We need a new way of logging into websites. Too many fucking passwords and too much bullshit with all these hackers.

..Or you know standardization of Two Factor across everything. Have the system auto generate a code every login and be done with it. Thats the best we're getting until we develop and give everyone neural implants which can verify its us.

 

[Tizoc]

Eh changing my password anyways. Will tell my brother to change his PSN account password as well.

Though we don't have CCs connected to our accounts anymore so umm should I still be worried?

 

[JaseC]

maybe these emails are from some old ass password hack and these names were recycled? hotmail deletes accounts after months of inactivity right?

After a year since the last login.

 

[Marvel]

Changing deets now.

 

[orava]

No hits.

 

[jesu]

My PSN and XBL both have unique passwords not used anywhere else so I don't think I need to do anything yet :/
XBL has 2 step verification too.I think they would need my phone to hack my MS account.

 

[Jimrpg]

I thought hackers were supposed to be cool.. This is getting really old now.

 

[glaurung]

I am getting real tired of these shits.

*opens password manager, changes PSN password, closes password manager*

I expect this took a lot less effort than hacking the databases.

 

[televator]

I just checked... turns out I was good on removing card info from my account. So joke's on you hackers. Ain't nothing there.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

this is why i don't save my card details. i've memorised my card details so doesn't take long just to type it all in each time.

this very well might be fake but i've spent hundreds across my PSN/blizzard accounts. I don't want them compromised. gonna go change my passwords to be on the safe side.

 

[Palette Swap]

This made me realize that PSN is pretty much the only gaming service I use that doesn't have 2 step authent.

 

[LAA]

Not sure I believe it's legit. The sample just doesn't seem real to me. Though I guess the threat is they have apparently a lot more.

Waiting for Sony/MS/Etc. To comment

You named your "hacker" group DerpTrolling?

...

 

[glaurung]

Vile, malicious human beings are usually not very creative.

 

[Stereogatari]

lol,

Found a link

None of my PSN IDs are on there.

Is this really a hack of PSN and XBL, or is it a phishing scam.

Isn't that pastebin just a portion of the supposed 7 million+ accounts? I changed mine to be safe, but I wouldn't write it off if your name doesn't show up in the pastebin.

In that case, password changing time. Or is it fake?

 

[The Wraith]

I have 2 step authentication on my live account I hope that helps.

 

[Ogawa-san]

While everyone's thinking about their passwords:

http://lastpass.com
http://keepass.com

Different passwords everywhere, and you don't even have to remember them.

 

[Noobcraft]

None of my email addresses were on the list tho.

 

[Sidewinder]

In that case, password changing time. Or is it fake?

Don't know. Anybody tried out these leaked accounts? If none of them work, it has to be fake or old.

 

[Stereogatari]

Don't know. Anybody tried out these leaked accounts? If none of them work, it has to be fake or old.

Some people have and it didn't work.

 

[neotokyo360]

Is password not encryp on server?????

WTF

 

[Verder]

I'm so fucking done.

 

[Quixz]

Twats!

 

[TheSlySoul]

This is why I don't put my CC in PSN. I buy the cards and use them.

Same.
I just cannot trust putting my CC on PSN and Amazon offers digital cards now.

 

[Tenrius]

Ugh, have to change my CIA password yet again.

 

[fedexpeon]

This doesn't surprise me.
I kind of knew about the CIA stuff, but I didn't expect it was that big of a breach and it wasn't even from Russia.

I believe Congress will act on this pretty soon, and will put out another overreaching bill similar to HIPAA for all companies with customer privacy information.
Heck, security isn't really secured even if a bill is passed. It is just a cat and mouse game.
With Target, Chase, and Home Depot getting hit back to back to back, these billion dollars companies are having a hard time even playing the cat/mouse game.

 

[daxy]

Different passwords everywhere, and you don't even have to remember them.

See, what if this website gets compromised? You're basically fucked and you can't remember for shit what you entered where if you lose access somehow.

edit: okay, I actually read about this stuff and it seems pretty legit. derp

 

[Jakoozie89]

I got an email from Sony that someone had changed my sign in ID like a week ago. I am noe not able to connect to my PSN account, and neither am I able to reset my password. Maybe this is the reason.

Annoying. Why are people such dicks? I never have any money on the card connected to PSN anyway.

 

[excowboy]

Real or not, appreciate the heads up and passwords changed as a precaution - as others said it's a good excuse to do it anyway.
