All I want to know is there going to be a bloodborne remaster?

 

[GrayChild]

Did they say anything about the Bloodborne PC build?!

 

[Golgo 13]

Cybersecurity nerd here. This isn't a ransomware attack at all, which is confusing because "ransomware" is listed so many times in the article. This is an alleged data breach with blackmail involved, which is fine, but distinctly different. And who the fuck knows if they have anything? could just be outdated information, or a small amount of code.

 

[Andrew Evenstar]

lol here we go. at the bare minimum they should force load a homebrew app for the 60fps bloodborne on the ps5 forget the free crappy 2 game award

 

[Nankatsu]

We won’t ransom them! We will sell the data.

Microsoft right now:

 

[Lucifers Beard]

We will find out soon enough. Sony will have to report this to the information commissioner if true.

Yup, if it happened yesterday, they’ll have to report by Wednesday.

I just checked haveibeenpwned and the email address I use for PSN hasn’t been compromised in their database of breaches. Hopefully it’s fake.

 

[Skifi28]

After international Microsoft day, we will now have a Sony day. Nintendo when?!?

 

[Kamina]

 

[Goliath77]

I have one cc on file, but have 2fa and have just changed my password. Is that enough? Sony will have to declare it if legit right?

 

[Iced Arcade]

Love em but one thing I'll never do, leave my card information on a Sony platform.

 

[SenkiDala]

Everyone : unlink your payment method from your account.

 

[Drew1440]

Brings back memories of the incident they had a number of years ago. They had to shut down PSN for a month.

Hope this is fake though, I could do without my email address and other personal data being made available to some bottom feeding cunt.

Sony will announce something within the next couple days if this is the case. Oh and that shit about not paying. Never pay these idiots, the damage is already done.

Ah the LulzSec hacks of 2011, managed to get Infamous and Wipeout HD as free games.

 

[StueyDuck]

Lol "Sonys data is for sale come get"

*fbi in the bushes waiting for the suitcase drop

Like anyone is going to be stupid enough to do that , although I see some rich crypto console warrior being dumb enough to put their name behind a deal like that .

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

After international Microsoft day, we will now have a Sony day. Nintendo when?!?

Nintendo has yet to discover that Internet exists. Would not be surprised if they run analogue computers in the office

We won’t ransom them! We will sell the data.

Microsoft right now:

Microsoft: We will buy it

Ransomware: Sold

Microsoft: Pleasure doing business with you

Ransomware: How much are you going to pay us to not reveal that you bought it?

Micosoft: Haha.....wait.....you serious?

Ransomware: Haha....how much?

 

[Kokoloko85]

phil spencer would like a look at that data

He probably has an ambassador team convincing everyone online, forums and social media that Sony needs to give this data to MS, otherwise they are being anti consumer….

 

[balls of snow]

Jokes on them, I use psn gift cards for my main account.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Jokes on them, I use psn gift cards for my main account.

Usually buy them at a discount as well, the best way.

 

[AtomicStarving]

“We won’t ransom them! We will sell the data. Due to Sony not wanting to pay. DATA IS FOR SALE.”

This got me hard.

 

[Reaseru]

Well, there goes private my data again...

 

[skit_data]

I transfer money manually to the account tied to my card number for every single purchase down to a pack of chewing gums so GLHF using that.

But this is a problem of course, lets hope it's nothing major in terms of personal data etc.

 

[adamsapple]

Well, there goes private my data again...

This is why you never save card info on a website.

 

[elcapitano]

Not great for Sony but hey maybe consumers will finally get an idea on games Sony plan to release in 2024 and beyond. Because man we have no information on anything at the minute.

Then again they probably got all our personal data too but that is what it is.

 

[Elder Legend]

Dr Phil Spencer must have sent his agents to get company secrets after they leaked their own secrets.

 

[TGO]

I got in touch with them and was able to purchase this.

Spoiler

You're welcome

 

[Pharaoh 117]

Jimbo doesn't negotiate with terrorists.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Fake news

We are impenetrable

 

[jm89]

Probably hacked into the server jimbo stores his nudes picks.

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

Wonder if Microsoft was involved .....

Being legit here; don't put anything past this company anymore when it comes to shady ops against competitors. They hired Florian Mueller aka SoloKingRobert. Got ValueAct trying to buy MS mindshare in Nintendo's BoD.

Funding these sorts of people for data breaches would be part of their M.O.

 

[Alebrije]

Honestly do not think there will be leaks....Sony has not nothing to deliver these days.


The face of ransom group once they breached the servers..

 

[Fredrik]

What kind of data? Would it be adviced to remove and close the credit card?

 

[JackMcGunns]

Oh boy, I remember the days of the "Interview" and the Sony hacks, not fun, well maybe for some.

 

[RoboFu]

What’s this like the third big Sony hack ?

 

[Thaedolus]

Jesus Christ, maybe it’s time to sell the PS5, or hack it or something

I used to be a part of Microsoft's Lunch Ops and I can tell you that the company is fully capable of stuff like this.

Got some unexpected login attempts on my PSN ~1 month ago. 2FA stop them.
Changed password immediately.

 

[Hypereides]

If this is true, then people ought to change their change their passwords as a bare minimum. Makes me wonder how they breached them. Sony should've been fortified rigorously since the 2011 breach.

It could take Sony's CERT/DFIR weeks to find any remnants/IOCs of a breach. Especially, if the assholes wiped every trace behind them. They got a shit load of data to gather.

Sometimes these statements made by malicious hackers can act as false flags or a smokescreen.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

What kind of data? Would it be adviced to remove and close the credit card?

There’s no evidence of this being real yet, so I’d say to keep your eye on this before cancelling cards etc.

 

[MikeM]

Deleted my credit card info on PS just to be safe. 2FA already active.

 

[TheUsual]

Deleted my credit card info on PS just to be safe. 2FA already active.

Did the same.

 

[ShirAhava]

oh no hope my banned PSN/SEN account isn't in any danger

 

[intheinbetween]

Ransom only takes place if they blackmail Sony into paying them for the return of the stolen data. If they sell the data on the black market to anyone willing to pay, it's just theft.

IF the data is encryoted, something given in ransomware attacks, then the data is already been kidnapped and can be freed or unencrypted only by those with the proper keys.

Then companies can face double, triple or quadruple extortion from ransomware gangs.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

I got compromissed once.

It was cleerly a breech of secretary.

 

[Robb]

Someone purchase the list of upcoming PS-studios games and Ps6 plans, please. Then post it on GAF.

 

[Bry0]

I got in touch with them and was able to purchase this.

Spoiler

You're welcome

Am I missing an inside joke or something. I’ve been waiting for gt7 pc for ages.

 

[Clear]

Claiming "all" of Sony's systems seems like a stretch to me. That's a lot of data spread out across a huge variety of businesses and network systems.

6000 files is very small for Sony

Unpurchase this please

 

[Hypereides]

Its not impossible. Cyber attacks are getting pretty sophisticated. Latest trend is getting/"sneaking" through legitimate tools and software as a pipe.
