larvi said:So someone abusing a URL exploit isn't considered hacking? I guess Sony uses different semantics than I do.
Of course, they wouldn't have told people at all had it not been publicized first.Kagari said:At least they didn't wait a week to tell people, lulz.
Zoe said:It's possible some people were claiming they were under attack again.
Personally, for the most part I don't consider URL/Javascript/Flash/etc manipulation to be hacking.
corn_fest said:Of course, they wouldn't have told people at all had it not been publicized first.
I guess they meant no one was affected negatively by it, that no one's account was stolen?Stink said:"No hack involved" seems to be very Sony-centric as opposed to user-centric. The root of the problem imo.
zomgbbqftw said:Why? It's a single player game...
In that case, no company would. Companies don't regularly release statements every time they find and fix an exploit on their website/servers. But since the news was already out there, it's good that they at least acknowledged it. This was handled much better (PR wise) than the original hack.corn_fest said:Of course, they wouldn't have told people at all had it not been publicized first.
Phantom Limbs said:Not talking about that. I'm talking about supporting Sony at all at this point.

krypt0nian said:Sell it. Stop being wishywashy. Take an important stand.
You can do what DorfDad did, claim you sold your PS3 and all 45 of your games. Then when the problem is fixed you can come back and announce that you've downloaded the update and are back playing.Phantom Limbs said:Not talking about that. I'm talking about supporting Sony at all at this point.

enzo_gt said:Gonna take more than free shit for a few months to get them out of this. This is permanent damage.
enzo_gt said:PSN is such a joke because of all of this. I hope they never live this down. If I was still an invested PS3 owner I would probably reconsider sticking with the brand in the future after this has gone so far. At the mercy of a bunch of hackers.

Ok, i see, thanks for the info =)surly said:Kotaku and a few other sites have posted the exploit in full and it's different to the one mentioned above. The answer to the secret question was not needed. It was as the guy on Twitter originally claimed - you just need the email address and date of birth.
Are you Jack Tretton?Dedication Through Light said:Anyway that sentence fragment is odd. Why? The platform still delivers phenomenal gaming and entertainment potential. It just seems odd to me abandon the brand and ignore the future potential of interesting and intriguing gaming experiences as well as those in the present times because of the merciless assault of people with personal vendettas set out to tarnish the Sony brand and rampant over zealous media forces twisting and exaggerating every issue to the max. PSN still provided me last night as well as in the past few days with excellent and fun online entertainment and community interaction in games only and exclusively available on the playstation platform and in games that are just better and more enhanced on playstation console and handheld.

VALIS said:My job has me listening to a lot of the conferences from Google I/O last week, and more than a few speakers have referred to potential web security fuck ups as "a Sony event." ie., "to make sure your company doesn't have a Sony event..." Oof. Sony's name is a bit in the mud right now.
