To all of you that own a PS3 and a PSN ID...

Please change all of your information, passwords and such.    Also if you had a card on file at the PSN store, check for unauthorized charges.


Wondering why?

Can you even change passwords or login right now in anycase at the point of me typing this?

Plus they called Nintendo crazy and stupid for using friend code's!

Funny and odd thing. Last night I got a message from my email account (that's linked to my PSN) saying I should change my password because someone not me tried using it. Funnier thing is I don't even remember what my PSN password is and don't even remember if it's related to my normal mail account...

also, should add a couple things: 1) the hackers also got DOB (date of births), and 2) they got your answer to your security question. this means you should monitor all accounts you have, including bank accounts, netflix, credit cards, mortgage, even your freaking library card. anyone with half a brain, who has your physical address and your DOB can steal your identity in <5 minutes.

just as an example: knowing your DOB and your address, i can find your SSN, obtain your work record, your credit record, your academic record and have access to all your health records in about 5 minutes. and, this isn't an exaggeration. if you have a mortgage, i can go in and change all your passwords and account settings. mind you, i have a few more tools in my profession that some hackers may not have; on the other hand, they may have more tools than i do.

so, my professional opinion: monitor all accounts for at least the next 18 months to 2 years. if these are smart hackers, they would have sold all that information to 3rd parties, and can be used for a long time. to be on the safe side, i'd close accounts and re-open them, letting the financial institutions know what happened, and ask for extra security. however, this doesn't stop them from opening credit card accounts in your name. there's no real way to stop that.

I just put a fraud alert on my credit, it was very easy. Simply go to www.experian.com/fraud and answer a few questions. This will put a temporary 90 day fraud alert on your credit. This makes it harder for anyone to get credit in your name, I asked them to call me if anyone tries to get credit for me. Also, experian will share the request with the other two main credit agencies equifax and transunion.

Note: If you're under 18 you may need your parent/guardian to file the request for you.

Luckily I never had a card on file with PSN. And here I was thinking about buying some DLC for a few of my games.

This situation kinda proves why I never really liked only using credit and debit cards only for purchases instead of the old days of using real physical money to buy things. Difference, later is less likely to get money or way more taken from you unless you get mugged. Companies or other organizations that continue to solely rely on using the internet only for making money or for selling in general to make it easier and everyone is doing it will more than likely falter because of fear of ID theft and less trust on buyin from the internet too. No console is safe from attacks like this, heck Xbox can get attacked to even with all their security they got, it can happen to them as well. Sure the xbox people will gloat on theirs is better due to Sony's incident but what comes around, goes around is what the old term goes.

How I been coping with no online is simple...the PS3 is a game machine. So keep playing games maybe even earn trophies to show off to everyone after the attack has been healed maybe even...gasp inviting friends over for game nights and for some company which we did back in the day and catch up on yoir backlog and maybe even play some ps2 stuff if you got a 60 gb machine or a working ps2. Now i gotta get a new debit card now and maybe protect my bank too.
