PaulRFC1 115 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 A security breach in the Playstation Network by still unidentified hackers resulted in stolen personal information, Sony confirmed today.The news comes more than nine days after the intrusion and six days after Sony shut down both the Playstation Network and Qriocity services in reaction to the breach. Sony says they've hired a "recognized security firm" to conduct a complete investigation into what happened and have taken steps to enhance security and strengthen network infrastructure."We have discovered that between April 17 and April 19, 2011, certain PlayStation Network and Qriocity service user account information was compromised in connection with an illegal and unauthorized intrusion into our network," Patrick Seybold, senior director of corporate communications for Sony Computer Entertainment of America, wrote on the official Playstation Blog today.Among the possible information stolen:NameAddress (city, state, zip)CountryEmail addressBirthdatePlayStation Network/Qriocity password and login and handle/PSN online ID.There is no evidence that credit card data was taken, Seybold writes, but they company cannot rule out that 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," he wrote.Sony is encouraging users to be especially aware of potential phishing scams from people using email, phone calls and mail to try and extract more personal or sensitive information from you. Sony also is strongly recommending that you change you password once you're able to log back into the Playstation Network."To protect against possible identity theft or other financial loss, we encourage you to remain vigilant, to review your account statements and to monitor your credit reports," Seybold wrote"We thank you for your patience as we complete our investigation of this incident, and we regret any inconvenience.

Papa Sasac 164 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 The whole point of this was to get at Sony was it not? Pathetic to be getting into users' personal details. Has absolutely nothing to do with us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aird 3,770 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Do they actually know they've taken the details though?Just because they have access to it doesn't mean they will take it, especially if they're are just targeting Sony and not it's users.

GF John 169 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Most of the people behind this will technically be 'white hat' hackers who'll have no intention of targeting customers in all of this, but you can never be sure that there won't be a few who'll see it as a laugh with a potential financial gain to just nick some data and see what they can do.Nontheless, I'll be very surprised if even a few people suffer individual attacks as a result of information being stolen from PSN.

JM1872 3,705 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Very intelligent hack. Probably planned for a while and done down to a fine art. 70 million is a lot of people to be affected (potentially)! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
