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

Could do it just to be safe and not have to keep an eye on anything.

 

[TGO]

Unpurchase this please

The sad thing is.... it's believable

 

[Kilau]

What does that have to do with their actions in this specific case? I'm guessing you think Golden Coral is a coral reef made of gold and not a family diner?

That’s because it’s called Golden Corral

 

[Del_X]

Did they forget to update Microsoft Defender?

 

[Kilau]

Jimbo doesn't negotiate with terrorists.

He did sign that 10 year deal with MS, so…

You could do, I’m not sure how Sony store card information on their systems, but if the breach contained everything (as they so eloquently put it) they may already have access to that information by exporting it (lots of different factors here though). Deleting it just takes it off of Sonys system when the damage could already potentially be done.

You could cancel the card though which would remove any financial risk. Though we aren’t sure any of this is real.

Unless you work for Sony it’s impossible to know. If you’ll still be using your card to make purchases on PSN, I’d recommend enabling 2FA and changing your password (especially if it’s one being used elsewhere).

Take my money. I'm so broke, if a ninja robs me, hes just practicing.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Ugh fucking hate hackers

I liked what the GTAVI hacker has done for us.

 

[LakeOf9]

Leak Jim Ryan wanting to buy Nintendo

 

[squarealex]

Less 1 week after FTC Leak

Sure Jane

 

[tmlDan]

Leak Jim Ryan wanting to buy Nintendo

What if we end this war and they split it 50/50. Nintendo works independently, releases on all consoles and MS and Sony split Revenue lol

 

[HawarMiran]

PLEASE BE TRUE!!!!

I want to have a real showcase. even if it is just in text

 

[ManaByte]

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

Removing it now won’t do anything if they already have the data.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Any hints on what they claim to have stolen or is it all just guess work so far?

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Remember when Playstation Network was offline for a few weeks? That was a catastrophic time for Sony. PS3 already started on a bad footing. Sony still won that generation

Wii blew past PS3 and 360 in unit sales and profits.

 

[simpatico]

Wonder if it's the same guys who did Vegas a couple weeks ago. Caesars paid before it even hit the news. MGM did not and got fucked for an entire weekend. You gotta pay if you couldn't keep them out in the first place. Otherwise it only hurts your customers. If you wanna have principle, have it before it happens and bolster your security.

 

[Zathalus]

Some posters have fallen far if they seriously believe Microsoft had anything to do with this.

 

[Fredrik]

Yeah could make things a little bit better. Sony have your whole identity unless you have used fake data; full name, adress, age, credit card, email, possibly saved passwords, etc. But I assume the hackers are more interested in selling industry secrets and research data and plans.

 

[Kdad]

Probably hacked into the server jimbo stores his nudes picks.

...pics of himself or the ones I sent him for doing a great job?

 

[Fabieter]

I know someone who likes to acquire all kind of stuff.

 

[Elder Legend]

Please leak the PS6 with AI Powered Hardware. K thx

 

[ReBurn]

I wonder how many years of identity protection I get this time

 

[simpatico]

I just want them to open source all the Cell optimizations Naughty Dog and Insomniac have been working on in the basement.

 

[rapid32.5]

Would you kindly get us the answer where the fuck Silent Hill 2 Remake is ?

 

[Roman Empire]

This feels so amateurish haha. Either way, changed my passwords a little earlier than my 3 months policy. We never know, even if this data breach seems bullshit. So better be safe than sorry.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

phil spencer would like a look at that data

They're buying up all the publishers they might as well..

 

[SmokedMeat]

Sony should use Two Factor Authorization.

 

[Dacvak]

Jokes aside, this kind of stuff fucking sucks. Nobody wins, except possibly the dickhead hackers. Selfish pieces of shit.

 

[BlackTron]

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.

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

 

[mansoor1980]

i think microsoft is behind this and sony knows it.

 

[Zombie9ers]

Why hackers do what they do:

 

[elcapitano]

Please leak the title and estimated dates for any/all Naughty Dog titles.

They are my favourite Dev but fuck me they are taking the piss with their lack of games or announcements

 

[poodaddy]

So, what exactly will this affect as far as the user? Should I change anything? I don't think my payment information on PSN is actually current, so I'm unsure how much of an issue this is for me. Should I change passwords anyway?

 

[Investor9872]

Well this explained why for the past week every time I tried logging into my PSN account for purchases, I would get the stupid "Protecting your account. Please solve this puzzle so we know you are a real person" crap that has 10-steps, and another 10 steps even if you get all the first 10s correct in order to log-in. After 3 times in 3 days I just give up on buying from my laptop and just go straight to my consoles.

I thought this captcha was always around?

thanks the Jim ryans for increasing ps+ prices, i had removed by credit card last month.

Smart move. After the PSN hacked in 2011, I took all of my payment information out, and have only been using PSN money cards from Costco to refill my account.

 

[fart town usa]

I got USAA so don't really care. They'll send Terminal List Chris Pratt to headshot some fools.

It's in the fine print in all their ads.

Happy I don't have any data remaining in their system. Having my credit card details leaked on the web once was enough, as far as I am concerned.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Someone on the purple forum has posted a link where you can see a list of files this hacker group supposedly have obtained from Sony: https://qu.ax/HErm.txt

There's nothing we can do.
It's too late to remove cards now.

IF this is real and they will do something, we are already fucked.

 

[RoadHazard]

Surely Sony doesn't keep CC info in plain text after what happened last time. It's gotta be properly encrypted.

I have my CC on there I think, but if anything happens I will just contest those charges.

Tempered expectations?
