P@$$w0rd

I worked for a company once that used a highly similar password to access its main servers lol.

OurMine right now

Hey guys, I stole all your info but I won't leak it. Visit my patreon and donate. #HackThePlanet

It really is hilarious.

"We have all this super-sensitive data. No you can't see it. Seriously we really do have it, we just don't want to show anyone. No I'm super serious, I mean yeah we are extorting corporations by gaining access to their social media, but we have morals so we won't release proof we have this data. But seriously, pay us."

 

[BiggNife]

They clearly stated that they have access to the database and they aren't leaking it to the public. Stop assuming that it's just their Twitter account.

I have access to steam's database but I won't share it with anyone because I'm a nice guy

There I just clearly stated something

 

[Grassy]

Megahurtz stoelen oh noes

 

[commedieu]

Crazy. I was just about to buy a ps4.

But now this?


Must be hard to walk with all those holes in their feet.

(Am I doing this right?)

This thread is an embarrassment.

People are rightfully concerned about personal info leaks, especially considering this service's history, and all half of you can do is point and laugh at people screaming "haha fell for it!"

Some people are concerned. Others are fanboys throwing stones in glass houses.

 

[Neuromancer]

Did Vena figure out what happened yet?

 

[clarknova156]

Removed my credit card. Never adding another again. Sony's online security is a fucking joke. Thank god I had 2FA on. You simply can't have a PSN account and not have 2FA on your account.

 

[kikiribu]

So this is fake?

 

[Compbros]

So this is fake?

Twitter and Facebook were actually hacked, PSN probably not but whether it was or wasn't is pure speculation.

 

[Darko]

These dudes cant even protect their own accounts i have zero chance of getting my stolen OG psn account back

 

[Unknown Soldier]

But they four handed a keyboard and hid the databases in the last PoP level stored on the Gibson.

It's been years since I saw a reference to 'the Gibson'

Try reading the thread smartass.

Hijacking social media accounts seems more likley than hacking into PSN. Nevertheless a official statement will need to be given out asap to clarify.

 

[Hellshy.]

Has this hacker group been known to hack anything other than social media accounts?

 

[Capella]

Has this hacker group been known to hack anything other than social media accounts?

They've hacked a few websites as well like Techcrunch but I think they just did stuff like alter the website and change articles.

I read into it, as in they will black mail sony for the leaked data base.

 

[Leyasu]

Social media is serious business.

Please share some more with the group.

Ridiculous

He clearly just wanted us to know he doesn't buy Sony consoles

He just wanted to see how many knights of the Sony realm would charge to their defence.


Fucking sony got everyone covered. From kids with Minecraft cross play, value with EA access, through to their vault like online security...

They go that extra mile for you, and merit that devotion that is shown on so many forums.

 

[MattAces]

Wow, come on Sony. I'm selling my PS4 Pro and PSVR tomorrow. What the hell.

Spoiler

GAF, you are smarter than this.

Pointing out stupid comments makes you a warrior now?

Hope my check from Sony arrives soon!

Whoops, you were better without the edit. Now your point is actually incoherent.

 

[Psychoward]

I was just checking in to see what the title was about and pretty much all of the posts are snarky or salty fanboy/fanboy accusing posts lol

Until Sony clearly states they have NOT been compromised i will assume they do have access. Better safe then sorry.

 

[ScaryShark]

I keep watching this and I keep getting angrier every time it loops.

This coming from the person who said this a couple days ago:

A junior even giving the impression of preferring xbox on here is one way ticket to banville. It's best to avoid these threads until you have reached member status.

Are you admitting you're paid then?

 

[Toparaman]

For the first time ever, I have been receiving messages on PSN from people I don't know and haven't played games with.

Not sure if related to this, but it is odd. I don't even play online multiplayer.

 

[Floody]

If they've been compromised wouldn't they have shut down the network by now? Can't remember how long they took to do it last time.

That's been happening for awhile. My US account that's only ever been used to go on the store gets them.

Did Sony kill your dog or something?

So some people are paid? What's the going rate? Where's the receipts?

Remain vigilant.

Sony paid me a hundred bucks to lie about liking Uncharted 4.

Iirc it took them quite awhile to shut down psn after they were hacked last time.

I know it's probably just a social account hack (which is kinda sad in many ways) but im not talking any chances.

They were hacked between April 17 to 19th and they shut down the PSN on the 20th. They did not admit that personal information was stolen until a week later.

Given their track record excuse me personally when i say - i will wait for a statement from Sony officially denying that there has been an intrusion regardless of how many GAFers are saying (likely correct but still) that it was only social media accounts.

 

[Magnetic_North]

i told you sony, stop using "knack" as a password for all your social media, but you never listened

No they use Knack1234

Ah, thanks, little worried now, not enough to go change my password yet though.

Yeah, can't blame you for being extra safe, my bad if it came across that way.

 

[RoadHazard]

Why would getting access to a PS Twitter account give them access to PSN itself (or the other way around)?

 

[Acquiescence]

As someone that just got up, can I get a short summary of this thread please?

 

[Floody]

PS' Twitter and Facebook got hacked, hackers claim they have PSN Database, no evidence they have, no official word they haven't.
Some people being extra safe others not. Not sure why a mod changed the title though, it was originally just "PSN possibly hacked by OurMine"
