Sony locks down PSN, SOE accounts after security compromised

wow

i only play on xboxlive but what is happening to Sony is just down right WRONG.

@Agent2800 I find that just as despicable, if you are thinking otherwise.

@Gelugon_baat: yeah just like sony fanboys would bring up PSN in an Xbox live thread? trust me you wouldn't be commenting or complaining then would you

PSN hacked. No surprise there. You get what you pay for.

@warhawk-geeby i totally agree with you its just i been burn a couple of times by suppose hit that turn out to be duds. this year alone we got duke nukem, xmen:destiny, lost planet 2, SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation just to name a few i had high hopes for all of them but duke nukem. though must of them are not exclusive. we cant say games are great till the come out. also lets not forget infamous 2 though a good game it was hardly epic

You get for what you pay I guess. In this case, a free server but with bad security.

Some of you just have to bring in Xbox Live into this comment thread. It's not even relevant to the matter here. Console wars - tiresome. :roll:

Somehow I feel this won't be the last we'll see of the Sony hackers. They'll do anything to make the PSN not free.

I don't play online, only sometimes but this never even affected me. Don't have any personal info on the account, no credit card info, nothing and if I need to buy something I just use PSN network card. People do the same thing and you won't have anything to worry about.

man i am starting to feel bad for all the Sony users

Another PSN breach ? Glad i use xbox live ;)

@ggregd i changed my password and still got affected

guys please help ! i got affected and whenever i click on (Reset password) it says *The server is currently down for maintenance* is there a specific time for us to reset or what ?

I guess bad publicity is better then no publicity. $ony?

Tough cookie kids... Deal with it! Maybe they should spent some money on the online security. just a hint... this is the 3rd time this have happened if i'm not mistaking... pull yourself together SONY...

I'm not getting online, so...

Maybe they need to do away with DLC and credit card information on consoles. That seems to be the only successful way.

Sony's being attacked again? Am I supposed to be surprised?

How dumb can you be to use old passwords from the last hacking attempt and not think people weren't going to change their passwords considering that Sony pretty much made it mandatory that they did? It's a non-issue.

@willkorn I'm a civil kinda guy, no worries ;)

@marvelx3 He's retired, and has been for a while.

Welcome back to the "Lamest People On Earth" ShoW Our two finalists,old guys in tweed suits sipping Earl Gray and talking about Canadian politics....vs. hackers! It's gunna be close!

Sony get your **** together this hacker's nonsense is borderline embarrassing.

bill gates wants you to buy xbox.

@paxis85 I am impressed. I didn't know there still were nice people on Gamespot. And about Sony and Hackers? I don't care anymore. I just went on and on to piss people off because they pissed me off with their arguments. But now with your comment, I have nothing left to say. Sometimes, couple of few good words are enough to finish it all. Haha! Good day, sir!

My god, this is just boring now. Really, just stop it.

boorah!!!

I think it's One of Sonys staff.. They need to fire everybody and hire ALL new technicians.. ASAP...

@servb0ts War? How is this war? It's just some no life hackers trying to hack PSN, SOE accounts and failing hard at it.

@Vampiro_HuntT3R Actually I agree with most if not all of the points that you mentioned. I wasn't trying to be aggressive in any way. I was just dropping my ten cents on what you were saying but answering generally. I agree that on some level, the punches Sony have taken are slowly sobering them into a better understanding of their position and as a ps3 owner that's actually something I'm glad about. At any rate, sorry if I came across as aggressive.

The things I would write here if I could would make a bunch of Sonyfanboys mad. So I'll just leave it at this: "Ha. Ha."

It's skynet..its taking over!!! the war is inevitable!!!! lol.

The War between Sony vs Hackers, Doesn't matter who starts it, once War starts, Both Side are Evil.

Sony ain't good at this, there's obviously a weakness in their system, i don't care how good hackers are today, doesn't mater whether its a dating site, online banking or gaming network. When your holding people's private information in YOUR hands you better be responsible and not cut corners on online security.

Do they think that just making another password will help.How could they let this happen after what happened in April

MAMAMAMAMA MEGA FACE PALM!

I'm so fed up with this juvenile crap. These hackers are trying to portray themselves as good guys by punishing Sony for wrongs done against certain individuals, but all they're really doing is screwing over a bunch of innocent gamers, and at the end of the day, the hackers make life harder for regular people than Sony ever did, so who's the bad guy now? {} These immature jackoffs get so caught up in their own misguided self-righteousness they forget who really suffers in all this. Oh, sure, they're not taking our credit card information, but in the meantime they're locking out our accounts and for a whole month made it impossible for any of us to game online. How noble of them. {} It's a shame that people with such brilliant minds who can pick apart Sony's sophisticated security also happen to be so stupid otherwise, such intellectually bankrupt buffoons that they're technological know-how is more akin to severe autism than actual intelligence. Meanwhile, I'm so bad at this I don't even know how to create line breaks in this post without using these stupid brackets. {} Just cut it out already. Stop trying to ruin it for everyone else just because you're pissed off at Sony for being a successful company. Nobody cares about this nonsense but you, and even if we did we wouldn't want your crusade getting in the way of our gaming. Stop it.

Hackers Rule :D

Hey this has become a real "hot topic" ah so let's get this straight all im gonna say if this keeps like that i'd prefer to pay a fee before having all this trouble maybe isn't Sony fault but they have to improve i mean it's SONY and i don't now about you guys but at least for me i expect better things from it. May because i consider it like the best, bigger, and more Bad-ass of all.

HEY! MORONS!!! They didn't get hacked again! They saw someone trying to use the old stolen passwords from the real hack, and they locked down. This is some script kiddie going through the account data trying to get logged in as the dumbasses who didn't change their password. This shows they have monitoring in place and they're doing what they should have been doing all along.

Its become routine.

why the f*ck are Sony fanboys saying that Xbox Live is more vulnerable than PSN while their online service is getting hacked all the time and Xbox Live is all good?

@D27x yeaah... Maybe.. Maybe your right... Yeeaaah... What was I thinking (slaps face) silly me hacker nuts feels good on my chin... Mmmmmm.. -_- wow

Maybe the hacker aren't the bad guys .......................maybe they are just trying to show us that Sony doesn't give a sh*t for our privacy. (I didn't want to hurt any feelings sorry if i did)

o my god let the ps3 go. stop haking it. This is killing me. So much strese and i dont want any thing to hapen to my acont

oopsies,pool sony.

Alot of people on this site are complaining about Xbox live accounts being hacked. I wonder if this will lead an out break similar to RROD in 2007. As for Sony I considered buying a PS console but now Im glade I hesitated.
