PSN Users Reporting Hundreds of Dollars Stolen From Them - Polidicks

In a year or 2 nobody will know what sony is.

[QUOTE=ColdFusion;29462228]In a year or 2 nobody will know what sony is.[/QUOTE] Apart from all the Sony televisions and blu ray players and mp3 devices and that new tablet they've got coming out considering that Sony isn't just Playstation.

I'm fucked.

this is so messed up i have to go through a bunch of hoops to make sure i don't lose the money i've saved and worked to earn for the past two years for uni (which i still might lose in the next 12 hours, when i get a chance to actually contact my bank and take precautions) because some cretin is mad at sony, or is just plain greedy and an all around horrible human being

Thankfully my account wasn't compromised yet, and I have just requested a block and a replacement card. It's quite disgusting that Sony didn't have more security.

This happened to me a while ago with a much smaller itunes breach. I lost about 700 bucks and tons of overdraft fees, but after calling Chase a ton I was able to get it all back, with a 100 dollar bank error in may favor that I told them about. They just said to keep it.

[QUOTE=mokkan;29462131]My mate sent me a steam message 3.5k wiped out of his account, 4.5 k taken from his cousins. His cousin is is 13 and has been working a paper round for years to save that. He said that " fortunately 2 weeks ago I transferred 15k onto another balance. Still, that's a lot of dosh".[/QUOTE] Holy mother of fuck, that is a lot. And what the fuck, the day before this shit happens, i had to do an essay on internet fraud, what the hell?

[QUOTE=Frankie;29458008]I think sony has protental on the gaming industry, it'll be a shame if the company ends because of some selfish anti social loser hacker, yes im mad because i just discovered i lost 70 bucks thanks to this bitch.[/QUOTE] Well it had more than potential when the PS1 and PS2 rolled along. Its just the PS3 had a slow start and was just starting to gather steam (I think this year they had a ton of exclusives lined up) when this happened.

[QUOTE=Araknid;29462461]Holy mother of fuck, that is a lot. And what the fuck, the day before this shit happens, i had to do an essay on internet fraud, what the hell?[/QUOTE] Your teacher obviously is the hacker you should shop them in.

I just traded in my 360 for a PS3. I'm beginning to regret that now.

Wait so how can you check if there's been charges? I can't login to my account, which sort of make sense, but I really can't remember what's on it. I don't think I had credit card information on it but I have to make sure.

I've transfered most of my money to my other bank-account, so I'm at least safe'ish. Still gotta ask for a new credit card..

Well back then if I used a credit card it would have been my parents'. I've already checked my account and there's no charges. I guess I should call them.

you all are worrying about bank accounts. you will be reimbursed if they did access it. what you have to worry about is that psn had access to your mac addresses and ip addies...that imo is worse. someone i know actually was given some psn accounts by a person... who i am not sure was involved or not. they are not good people. change your passwords to everything...not just your cc or debit card.

[QUOTE=Araknid;29462461]Holy mother of fuck, that is a lot. And what the fuck, the day before this shit happens, i had to do an essay on internet fraud, what the hell?[/QUOTE] yeah I'm quite mad that they took a 13 year olds hard earned cash

FYI withdrawing your money won't make you completely safe since it's [b]CREDIT[/b] card data.

Not to mention there would be zero reason as to why they would be on PSN servers.

[QUOTE=torero;29462753]Who cares about the money? [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/i1By9.png[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] this man has his priorities straight on a serious note i might go do what poster four suggested

[QUOTE=caesium;29462784]What can they do with a MAC address, and most consumer IPs are dynamic.

Good job my old credit card details are on there. I haven't been on my PS3 in a few months, and my old card expired at the end of January.

Wow, I was just planning to buy a PS3. Dodged a bullet right there.

Wait, so passwords are compromised too? Oh god, I hope they aren't placed in a huge dump... I haven't bothered to change 60% of my passwords to a new one, including PSN! Fuck, all my accounts... I guess the first password I will change is steam.

Also, how the hell are we supposed to change our passwords on PSN? It's still impossible, isn't it? [editline]27th April 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=uitham;29462969]Wait, so passwords are compromised too?
