    It's really nice of them to give us free stuff, even though they already allow us to get some minor stuff for free and play with our friends online for free.

    • lol, ill restate what i said.

    PSN asked to be shut down trying to sue someone from hackers anonymous, thus this ordeal happened. it sucks people's credit card info was at risk. Sony even sued PSN. they have some problems to address.
    PS3 sales will go down along with the amount of players in its community.

    Uh... no, that barely makes sense, and mostly isn't true.

    "PSN asked to be shut down trying to sue someone from hackers anonymous" doesn't make any sense.

    Sony suing PSN? Thats just stupid. They're not going to sue themselves. Anyone with common sense can see thats not true.

    Adn it probably won't go down. I can see a small sales spike from this. Even bad publicity is publicity.

    Suing the guy that hacked their databases? Whats wrong with that.

    Also, I'd suggest you provide links.

    From what i've read, it wasn't anonymous, but a member that took their "cause" in his/her own hands.

    But none of that explains why you said this...

    • To clarify: the only ones being sued are Sony.

    https://tinyurl.com/3bqbork

    I find it hilarious. Why? Because it clearly states in the terms of service that Sony cannot be held responsible for any data theft or loss. Which essentially means that this lawsuit is pointless, unless they can somehow prove that Sony didn't meet it's part of the agreement.

    And for those wondering, a diagram was released that showed how the hacker(s) got into the system.

    https://tinyurl.com/3cft5bf

    That may not make sense to the average person, but I'll do my best to explain.

    The web server is the server that you physically connect to when you sign on to the network. That server is connected to the application server. The application server is where all of the applications are run. The PS Store and various other services are run off of this server. Finally, that server is connected to the database server. The database server simply stores all of the data for the user in a database. It's essentially an electronic record-keeping platform. By finding a vulnerability in the web server, the hacker(s) was/were able to get into the application server. From there, they placed a tool that attacked the database server. Once the tool attacks the database server, they've got all the goods.

    • The "Welcome back" program sounds like a nice gesture, hopefully some add-ons for games are free like Undead nightmare for RDR.

    But that still affects the users and Sony as a whole. I subscribe to Free Realms and I had my credit card information on there, too.

    Some people obviously have a problem with Sony.

    yes. and SOE got hacked at the same time as PSN. But they just noticed it cause they are too busy with the PSN servers, So yesterday they shut it down. Also I bet Sony will pay their dues, and like they said they are having law enforcements on both cases.

    Don't worry the database they got from SOE was from 2007, so most of it's users' credit cards have expired or have been replaced by now.

    • Well... That's what you get when you declare war to the hacker community. Sony totally deserved it. Let's hope everybody cancels their credit cards and replaces them in time.
