Support NeoGAF

[CadetMahoney]

So how many years from now will this be the "go to" and "highlight reel" of online failures. I'm guessing it will span at least next gen.

PlayStation Network Down: Financial Impact to Sony Minimal

lol Pachter.

But I guess for all the loony tunes who want nothing more than the complete ruination of the Playstation sector, they'll have to wait another day.

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

At least I can still get to my Netflix

...

I'm still

 

[onlyindreams]

Remember the epic hip hop version?

I can't believe how well that worked. lol!

 

[nny]

Because of PSN's downtime I learned about this cool youtube NeoGAF script. Thanks Sony!

 

[Black Republican]

instead of a government shutdown, we get a psn shutdown. Who wins?

 

[Kccitystar]

I'm gonna work on a bingo card

 

[BosSin]

What would be funny is if Sony came back and said PSN was now going to be a paid service to pay for all the new servers, security and maintenence upkeep. The internets would explode.

well according to one of the crappiest game websites they've had an "inside tip" (i.e. an email from some random troll) about such a thing:

PSN is more important.

Silly Maxconsole getting duped into trolls once again.

I hope when PSN comes back up they finally let you change your name. Maybe they can implement some of the things players voted to the top 5 on their blog.

 

[CadetMahoney]

Thank you for your patience. . . here are a list of credit agencies to check if you have been defrauded THANK YOU HAVE A NICE DAY! 1

 

[Kccitystar]

Paystation network update

This is the detailed response they should have posted before the weekend began

 

[Luckyman]

UH OH details out

 

[Trevelyon]

An unauthorised person has obtained the following information that you provided: "PlayStation Network/Qriocity password and login",

Let me go find an appropriate BAIL THE FUCK OUT GIF.

 

[Sullichin]

FFS, if you follow any of the links to the free credit card score services on that blog post, DO NOT sign up for credit monitoring, it's probably checked off by default and they'll charge you like $15 a month.

 

[MThanded]

"Although we are still investigating the details of this incident, we believe that an unauthorized person has obtained the following information that you provided: name, address (city, state, zip), country, email address, birthdate, PlayStation Network/Qriocity password and login, and handle/PSN online ID. It is also possible that your profile data, including purchase history and billing address (city, state, zip), and your PlayStation Network/Qriocity password security answers may have been obtained. If you have authorized a sub-account for your dependent, the same data with respect to your dependent may have been obtained. While there is no evidence at this time that credit card data was taken, we cannot rule out the possibility. If you have provided your credit card data through PlayStation Network or Qriocity, out of an abundance of caution we are advising you that your credit card number (excluding security code) and expiration date may have been obtained."

holy shat. Thats still really bad

Are you effing kidding me.

 

[BeeDog]

Yikes, so it was worse than imagined. LOL.

 

[slider]

Wow.

 

[FINALBOSS]

Oh man, that's a pretty ominous official statement.

 

[Hanmik]

Wtf happened to the post on the danish Playstation facebook site...? It is gone after an hour. Maybe they were to fast out with the news of the mails from sony regarding psn downtime.

 

[StuBurns]

Within a week? That's pretty lame.

EDIT: I should have finished reading first... Holy Fuck

FANTASTIC.

 

[Wario64]

Fucking shit, I'm pissed about our info being out there.

 

[LiK]

Fuck this and we can't go in and change it....

 

[offshore]

Well this doesn't look good.

 

[RPGCrazied]

A week?!? My god.

via email to all of our registered account holders regarding a compromise of personal information as a result of an illegal intrusion on our systems.

That doesn't sound to good.

 

[SmithnCo]

Fuck.

 

[santi_yo]

:/

 

[Snuggles]

Nice of them to update, but there really isn't anything new there. Why do they keep mentioning Qriocity, though, no one gives a shit about Qriocity lol.

 

[Trevelyon]

 

[badcrumble]

Oh shit. That is NOT cool. And yeah, this could lead to a ton of phishing scams.

 

[fistwell_old]

wats the word then?

 

[Luckyman]

lol unencrypted passwords?

 

[Man]

2) Engaged an outside, recognized security firm to conduct a full and complete investigation into what happened; and
3) Quickly taken steps to enhance security and strengthen our network infrastructure by re-building our system to provide you with greater protection of your personal information.

So which firm is this.

 

[MThanded]

Wow this is beyond bad. Even without CC information that is a lot of information.

 

[KAOz]

Within a week? That's pretty lame.

They don't even specify which service. Just "some services within a week". =/

 

[RedNumberFive]

Sony really needs to quit thanking me for my patience, as it has officially run out now that I know my CC info might be out in the wild.

 

[Vamphuntr]

holy shat. Thats still really bad

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/04/26/update-on-playstation-network-and-qriocity/


Are you effing kidding me.

FUCK YOU SONY. Holy shit it's bad.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

SOME services up within A WEEK?

You've got to be fucking kidding me.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Ugh. Lame shit, man.

 

[Snuggles]

It is a bit troubling to think my personal info could be floating around the web like that. Anyone could take control of my account, not only with my CC details, but with the hundreds - maybe even a thousand - dollars worth of content. I guess I should play it safe and keep that bitch offline for awhile, even after it goes back up, just to be safe.

I'm fed up with this werld.

 

[KiKaL]

If you have provided your credit card data through PlayStation Network or Qriocity, out of an abundance of caution we are advising you that your credit card number (excluding security code) and expiration date may have been obtained.

Whaaa?

 

[FunkyPajamas]

I'm guessing there's no way to change PSN password since the network is down, right?

 

[MThanded]

Now if you spent a crapload on psn they know where you live... this could get bad.

If you have provided your credit card data through PlayStation Network or Qriocity, out of an abundance of caution we are advising you that your credit card number (excluding security code) and expiration date may have been obtained.

wow.... this is beyond insane.
