Lets not turn the thread in to another PS3 Vs Xbox one. Thank you.
Personally the PSN is really poor compared to Live and its also been confirmed that Sony had little or no encryption/security on customer details. Not good at all. They better get this all sorted soon and will have to prove to people that they are implementing new security measures to prevent something like this happening again. |

Even if users' credit card numbers & security answers haven't been stolen, there is still a lot of sensitive personal information which has... Name, Address, Date of Birth, email address, etc. ...
I hope no one used the same password for PSN on any other sites or services... If anyone has their credit card info on PSN, I think you should cancel the card, just in case. If anyone is really worried about potential fraud or ID theft due to the breach, then you can register (for a small fee) with CIFAS for extra protection: http://www.cifas.org.uk/pr_for_individuals Quote:
I can't actually remember which card I used on PSN. If it was my debit card, then I'm fine as it's long since changed & the one on PSN would be expired. I don't think I used a credit card, but I'm not 100% sure now... |

as has been said, they need to sort out security, how could they not have any form of protection on the data? surely thats a data protection issue??
and while they are patching their systems up, they can sort out something with the CFW's, I personally dont mind people loading whatever software they want, afterall, your not forced to use windows, you can install any OS you want on your computer, but when its used to start hacking games, that does my nut in. Theres no point trying to get ranked highly in the world on call of duty because the top million players have all hacked, and there are people who have hacked to max their scores out, then others who have boosted them slightly, as made it less obvious that its a hacked score. so all in all, sony need to boost security on all fronts |

I emailed the Information Commissioner's Office last night, via the Data Protection Complaints page. Just a query, rather than a full official complaint using the DPA complaint form. casework@ico.gsi.gov.uk ---------- Post added at 14:49 ---------- Previous post was at 13:49 ---------- LOLZ... https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2011/04/7.gif http://dribbble.com/system/users/227...store-top5.jpg |

I heard on CBS News (on Sky News 1am) that some 75,000,000 credit details may have been stolen.
If this true then Sony could face a lot of agro from those people who have money taken out of their credit card. I would call my credit card company and get them to send a replacement card ASAP. Thank god I'm on XBL. |

Well, it's 77 million total PSN accounts. Not all of them will have credit/debit card info associated with them.
I checked through my emails to find out which card I used for PSN... It was an old & now expired card, last used to purchase stuff from PSN in late 2008, so I'm safe regarding that, at least. Still worrying re. all the other data though... name, address, DOB, email, etc., & potentially also security answers (e.g. mother's maiden name). |

I know people are fearing the worst but I don't think they will do anything at all with the data. I think they were just out to totally screw Sony and show it is easy it would be.

... Or they may sell the data on to credit/ID thieves...

I was talking about the actual on line services of the console in my post, the post before mine just claimed one console was rubbish compared to the other. |

Well with regards to the security question I would never pick a dangerous one, I have in the past selected other less senative ones, fav drink, first pet etc.
