Όχι

[Kostakis420]

Και παντα zero trace! π τύπος είναι "αόρατος"
Καλα αν δεν βρεθει λύση σύντομα πολλοί θα ξεκόψουν με τη σονυ .


αυτοι ειναι οι anonymus ετσι;

[Enpsty]

Ομολογώ ότι δεν περίμενα με τίποτα τέτοιο χαμό.
24 δις; Πιστωτικές κάρτες απλών ανθρώπων στον αέρα; Λογικό να εμπλακεί και το FBI και δεν ξέρω κι εγώ τι άλλο.
Πάντως αποδεικνύεται αυτό που είχα πει πριν γίνει ακόμα η επίθεση. Δεν έχει να κάνει με οφθαλμό αντί οφθαλμού στην Sony, ούτε για τιμωρία της εταιρείας.
Κοινοί εγκληματίες είναι οι τύποι.

[丹野]

Φαντάζομαι οι πιστωτικές κάρτες δεν είναι οι προπληρωμένες. Το χοντρύνανε το πράγμα. Όσο για τον Αυστραλό, πρώτα η απαγόρευση του Mortal Kombat 9 στην Αυστραλία και τώρα αυτό. Τι άλλο θα δούμε? Εγώ ευτυχώς είμαι ασφαλής.

update

Although no real update has been issued by Sony since yesterday and that wasn't even really an update rather just a follow-up to saying, "we're working to get PSN back up". Now, it has been confirmed that the FBI is now involved with this situation, so it's getting as deep as it can possibly get for the users responsible for this attack on the Playstation Network.

Also, from filed reports, Sony is looking to lose 24 Billion from sales, that includes such providers as Netflix, etc. And this is also holding up the production of at least two games as well due to the fact that game maker's cannot test said games online due to the situation. The new Twisted Metal is one of them along side Infamous 2.

This is all just some info I rathered today from various resources, but sadly that's all there is for right now. No real update on when it was be "back up", just a headline for what's going on.

Here are some tips and what's the come from PSN as of yesterday:

The PlayStation Blog has posted another question and answer session detailing the fallout from a hacker attack on the PlayStation Network that gave up the personal information of its users. The majority of the information covered by the post is known to folks who have been keeping up with the day-to-day reports here on IGN, but there were a few new tidbits.
How Safe Is Your Personal Info?
"All of the data was protected, and access was restricted both physically and through the perimeter and security of the network. The entire credit card table was encrypted and we have no evidence that credit card data was taken. The personal data table, which is a separate data set, was not encrypted, but was, of course, behind a very sophisticated security system that was breached in a malicious attack."
Did They Get Your Credit Card?
"While all credit card information stored in our systems is encrypted and 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. Keep in mind, however that your credit card security code (sometimes called a CVC or CSC number) has not been obtained because we never requested it from anyone who has joined the PlayStation Network or Qriocity, and is therefore not stored anywhere in our system."
Changing Your Password
"We are working on a new system software update that will require all users to change their password once PlayStation Network is restored. We will provide more details about the new update shortly."
The Future
"Moving forward, we are initiating several measures that will significantly enhance all aspects of PlayStation Network's security and your personal data, including moving our network infrastructure and data center to a new, more secure location, which is already underway. We will provide additional information on these measures shortly."

Στανταρακι σχετικος σχολιασμος απο τον Kevin Butler στην E3

[丹野]

Παιδιά, έλαβα ένα e-mail από την ίδια την Sony για το μπουρδέλο στο PSN. Enjoy... :xp: Εγώ ακόμα κλαίω από τα γέλια μ' αυτό το σκηνικό με τους hackers, λες και είναι η ταινία "Catch me if you can".

PlayStation(R)Network

===================================

Valued PlayStation(R)Network/Qriocity Customer:

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. In response to this
intrusion, we have:

1) Temporarily turned off PlayStation Network and Qriocity services;

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 rebuilding our system to provide you
with greater protection of your personal information.

We greatly appreciate your patience, understanding and goodwill
as we do whatever it takes to resolve these issues as quickly and
efficiently as practicable.

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.

For your security, we encourage you to be especially aware of email,
telephone and postal mail scams that ask for personal or sensitive
information. Sony will not contact you in any way, including by email,
asking for your credit card number, social security number or other
personally identifiable information. If you are asked for this information,
you can be confident Sony is not the entity asking. When the PlayStation
Network and Qriocity services are fully restored, we strongly recommend that
you log on and change your password. Additionally, if you use your PlayStation
Network or Qriocity user name or password for other unrelated services or
accounts, we strongly recommend that you change them as well.

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. We are providing the following information
for those who wish to consider it:
- U.S. residents are entitled under U.S. law to one free credit report annually
from each of the three major credit bureaus. To order your free credit report,
visit www.annualcreditreport.com or call toll-free (877) 322-8228.

- We have also provided names and contact information for the three major U.S.
credit bureaus below. At no charge, U.S. residents can have these credit bureaus
place a "fraud alert" on your file that alerts creditors to take additional steps
to verify your identity prior to granting credit in your name. This service can
make it more difficult for someone to get credit in your name. Note, however,
that because it tells creditors to follow certain procedures to protect you,
it also may delay your ability to obtain credit while the agency verifies your
identity. As soon as one credit bureau confirms your fraud alert, the others
are notified to place fraud alerts on your file. Should you wish to place a
fraud alert, or should you have any questions regarding your credit report,
please contact any one of the agencies listed below:

Experian: 888-397-3742; www.experian.com; P.O. Box 9532, Allen, TX 75013
Equifax: 800-525-6285; www.equifax.com; P.O. Box 740241, Atlanta, GA 30374-0241
TransUnion: 800-680-7289; www.transunion.com; Fraud Victim Assistance Division,
P.O. Box 6790, Fullerton, CA 92834-6790

- You may wish to visit the website of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission at
www.consumer.gov/idtheft or reach the FTC at 1-877-382-4357 or 600 Pennsylvania
Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20580 for further information about how to protect
yourself from identity theft. Your state Attorney General may also have advice
on preventing identity theft, and you should report instances of known or
suspected identity theft to law enforcement, your State Attorney General,
and the FTC. For North Carolina residents, the Attorney General can be
contacted at 9001 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-9001; telephone
(877) 566-7226; or www.ncdoj.gov. For Maryland residents, the Attorney
General can be contacted at 200 St. Paul Place, 16th Floor, Baltimore, MD 21202;
telephone: (888) 743-0023; or www.oag.state.md.us.

We thank you for your patience as we complete our investigation of this
incident, and we regret any inconvenience. Our teams are working around the
clock on this, and services will be restored as soon as possible. Sony takes
information protection very seriously and will continue to work to ensure that
additional measures are taken to protect personally identifiable information.
Providing quality and secure entertainment services to our customers is
our utmost priority. Please contact us at 1-800-345-7669 should you have any
additional questions.

Sincerely,

Sony Computer Entertainment and Sony Network Entertainment

Προσωπικα πιστευω οτι οι χρηστες δεν κινδυνευουν απ'ολο αυτο, πιο πολυ θα ελεγα οτι ειναι επιδειξη δυναμης απεναντι στη Sony και επι της ουσιας αφορα μονο την εταιρια και τα κερδη της. Γενικοτερα τα ατομα που κανουν τετοιες επιθεσεις ειναι στη λογικη που ειπε ο Ground, δεν τους ενδιαφερουν τα οικονομικα οφελη αν αυτα προερχονται απο τους απλους καταναλωτες. Το χαος και η αναστατωση ειναι ο στοχος. Δεν γνωριζω αν η ασφαλεια της Sony ειναι τοσο broken οσο ανεφερουν πολλοι αλλα θεωρω οτι δεν εχει και τοση σημασια, απο τη στιγμη που hackers αποφασισαν να επιτεθουν η κατασταση θα ηταν τετοια ουτως ή αλλως... Θα μπορουσε ανετα ολο αυτο να συμβει και στη microsoft... Imo η Sony απλα χειριστηκε λαθος το θεμα των hackers, τραβωντας τους την προσοχη, με αποτελεσμα να φτασουμε σε αυτο που γινεται το τελευταιο διαστημα.

Ας ελπισουμε ολο αυτο να ληξει συντομα, αν και σε επιπεδο προγραμματισμου (να χτιστει ενα hack proof συστημα απο το τμημα της sony) το κοβω αδυνατο να εχουμε τελος. Πιο πολυ μεσω της λυσης του συμβιβασμου το βλεπω να πηγαινει. Γι'αυτο το λογο θεωρω και επικινδυνο το να κυκλοφορησει οποιαδηποτε νεα κονσολα απο τη Sony αν δεν ληξει ολο αυτο το σκηνικο (ngp κλπ)... Σημασια δεν εχει τοσο το συστημα ασφαλειας σου οσο το αν οι hackers αποφασισουν να ασχοληθουν μαζι σου...

Kala to asfales systhma einai asteio na to skeftesai, edw se kti nases kai se kati pentagwna mpainoun ama theloun kai pernoun plhrofories kai kanoun wiki leaks, me thn SONY tha ta valoume?

Ama thelei o allos mporei na ta kanei ola limpa

δυστυχώς έτσι είναι, αν θυμάμαι χάκερς είχαν αποκτήσει πρόσβαση και σε απόρρητα της CIA.

Βλεποντας ομως τη συνολικη εικονα, οι crackers εχουν τη δυναμη να ανατρεψουν το συστημα. Λαχταρω για τη μερα που θα τα γ@μησουν κυριολεκτικα ολα. Το μεγαλυτερο ποσοστο του χρηματος αυτη τη στιγμη υπαρχει μονο ηλεκτρονικα στις τραπεζες. Το συστημα τρεμει τους crackers και γι αυτο εγω τους αγαπαω. Ζητω το χαος.

Οντως πιο πιθανο ειναι μετα να δωσει δωρεαν psn plus σε ολους για κανα μηνα τουλαχιστον προσπαθωντας να τραβηξουν παλι το κοσμο πισω.

[Evans]

Enpsty για να πείσει η SONY μετά από όλα αυτά πρέπει να κάνει το PSN+ τσάμπα . Κατά τη γνώμη μου χαμένο παιχνίδι είναι πάντως, το 360 έχασε πάρα πολλούς με το τo RRoD, η SONY δε θα χάσει αντίστοιχα πολλούς με κάτι που είναι απείρως χειρότερο και δεν καλύπτεται και από πουθενά;

Ας ρίξει όλη της την προσοχή στο NGP και σε μία πιθανή νέα κονσόλα, ή στα tablets, το PS3 είναι doomed to fail (again ).
