Good morning, folks. Those of you attempting to log into any of Sony Online Entertainment’s games may be asking yourself, “why can’t I log into my favorite SOE game?” or “why am I asking a non-Sony blog why their services are offline?” Of course those of you who came here before checking Sony’s website will have missed the following announcement:
We have had to take the SOE service down temporarily. In the course of our investigation into the intrusion into our systems we have discovered an issue that warrants enough concern for us to take the service down effective immediately. We will provide an update later today (Monday).
I call the joke on Sony Offline Entertainment, it’s mine. I’ll be watching for further announcements later today.
good that i changed my billing data after they hacked and stole the info
the creditcard data they stole is long time unaviable
Oh yea, the credit card information is completely useless. As it stands, you really can’t do much with the information that was released (name, address, etc), as most of that information can be found publicly rather easily if you know the person’s name and general location.
Credit cards and passwords were not stolen, by Sony’s claim. The passwords were hashed, and the credit card database was encrypted and untouched. The claims by hackers that they have a database with 2.2 million cards was discredited by the very claim that they had the security codes, which Sony does not store.
