It's just a random ass scene.I'm coming for you Valve.
is... is that from the movie? ...
did i just get something from the movie spoiled?... day before I see it too. lol
:\
They are talking about not removing Steam side. Otherwise you force your details into the cache.wait wait WAT
I just cancel the aprobed payments option from my paypal account, that can't affect me, right?
It depends on the type of details, with no indication that there was financial information lost through the PSN hack. It was mainly interesting to sell that information for targetted ads. And of course, it depends on what caused this, just technical issues or something more serious on the backend.I agree this is a big deal, however, from a security perspective having one group able to query the details of millions of accounts offline is much worse than millions of people with access to a few accounts on hosting you control.
So little context.I'm coming for you Valve.

Internet aint safe if you're media dark, bruh.
So, while we're all worried about our data being seen by random other people, how do you all think Valve will try to make up for this?
Once again.
NO ACCOUNT INFORMATION CAN BE CHANGED.
NO PURCHASES CAN BE MADE.
THE MOST PEOPLE CAN SEE IS YOUR E-MAIL, AND PURCHASE HISTORY.
Is it a clusterfuck? Absolutely. But aside from some random person knowing your e-mail and seeing that you've bought Hunniepop, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.
This was like part of every trailer of the movie.
That was in a trailer for the movie iirc. And yes, it is.
This is the fuck-up that will force Valve to change the many different negative elements of their company that have been tolerated so far.
I'm going to reserve judgement until we get a response from Valve
You know what date it is? What are the chances there's someone in the office, or even what are the chances someone at Valve is aware of the issues?
Its only been happening for an hour.
No, the databases on PSN were encrypted where the creditcard information were stored.
Doesn't matter. They're generating huge income all day today. They need to have people on staff to manage issues. If they don't want to support the service they shouldn't have it open for sales.
If they don't have anybody in the office on the day they start one of the biggest sales of the year then they are complete morons.
I haven't logged into steam in over a month. Am I safe?
we know what information was compromised because we could all see that information
I love steam. I love valve.Valve is normally piss poor in terms of communication.
They fucked up real bad in CS and had to apologize twice in the same week basically and said they would communicate more. While this situation sucks, hopefully it's what gets Valve to communicate more in general and step up all around.
That's all I knowAs one of the accounts affected by this (shout-outs to the nice random people on Steam contacting me to chat because they were in my account and looking at my stuff--all seemed like standup, trustworthy guys), the basic information I want to know:
5) If my address or cc info was even partially exposed, I expect a year or two of credit monitoring Yes it was view able
It goes without saying that if purchasing was exposed they should do a full rollback, but I'm not worried about that because that's obvious. More worried about the personal info.
You and I could not see anyone else's PSN info. Not then and not now, not a single line of info was truly 'leaked'. Sony has to say that shit went wrong, cause it did, but all it resulted for the user was no online for a month. Link me an article where people reported their info stolen from the event.
You ever heard of getting Fifa'd? That's 100x worse than the psn breach and on the same level as this current event. Everyone's online network is good but the support is shit all around.
As a general user in the public I couldn't get access to dozens of people's personal info that can be used for social enginerring.
CC companies always take the brunt of this stuff and the users don't suffer too much. It's when our personal details are released that we get really fucked in the long run.
So, YOU quit your bullshit, please and fucking thank you.
Thank you. Jesus.
Well, I'll definitely remove my CC info when Steam comes back online. What a fucking mess.
E
Might not be that simple.
Watching my email like a hawk. Thankfully I didn't get anything yet
You know what date it is? What are the chances there's someone in the office, or even what are the chances someone at Valve is aware of the issues?

Not me, someone posted.
Umm no?
No, not at all.
