Sony V.S Hackers - Hacked Again Round 7

[iDynamic]

sony culd of just said thattt for ppl to hate anon....just a thought

They have too much credit to lose.

Makes no sense.

Usually I would side with Anonymous because their cause is just. However this time its wtf.

Anonymous is successfully denying a service that some customers pay for (playstation+, Store etc.), the same customers that Anonymous says that they are standing up to protect from the "tyranny" that is Sony.

They are a little borked this time.

It is because of this logic that I would believe that Anonymous is not truly responsible.

na bai Sony is to blame, they aint allowin we to install windoze 7 on we ps

On a serious note, I must say that anonymous is fighting a losing battle.

X2

[Update] [Breaking News] Supreme Court says no to lawsuit filed against Sony for PSN security breach

Code: Select all

With the recent PSN security breach, Rothken Law Firm of California has filed a lawsuit against Sony. The firm stated that, “[Sony] failed to take reasonable care to protect, encrypt, and secure the private and sensitive data.”

An overview of the lawsuit says that Sony failed to inform consumers in a timely manner about the security breach, “[Sony's] failure to protect those rights, and failure and on-going refusal to timely inform consumers of unauthorized third party access to their credit card account [...]“.

The plaintiff in the case wants to understand why Sony, “[failed] to maintain adequate computer data security of consumer personal data and financial data [...]“–considering there are over 77 million credit card account holders.

“Plaintiff is informed and believes that this breach of security was caused by SONY’s negligence in data security, including its failure to maintain a proper firewall and computer security system, failure to properly encrypt data, its unauthorized storage and retention of data, its violation of Payment Card Industry Data Standard(s) and rules and regulations it was bound to obey for the benefit of consumers concerning the storage of consumers’ private identifying transaction and credit card information, and its violation of California laws requiring the implementation and maintenance of security for customer information”.

You can read the full complaint here (PDF): Johns v Sony

Update: The recent class-action lawsuit brought against Sony for security breach may hit a dead-end. According to the LA Times, the Supreme Court of the United States has recently ruled, on a 5-4 decision, that companies can block a gang of angry consumers from engaging in a class-action lawsuit.

“[...] in Wednesday’s decision, the high court said that under the Federal Arbitration Act companies can force these disgruntled customers to arbitrate their complaints individually, not as part of a group.”

Of course, this doesn’t sit easy with consumer-rights advocates, “[...] a practical ban on class action would be unfair to cheated consumers”.

So, what do you guys think? Should we, as consumers, be blocked from engaging in class-action lawsuits?

[Stephon.]

If anything Sony is wrong for the length of time they took before letting their customers know about their information being stolen, but as far as them "failing to take reasonable care to protect, encrypt, and secure the private and sensitive data". I'm kind of confused about. Sony is a multi-billion dollar industry, I'm sure they had security measures in place to protect our data, but the fact is every single site / program / system with our information in it, IS hackable. YES they're wrong for the untimely manner they let the consumers know what was going on, but they were hacked. It's like suing a man for being hit in the head with a care package that had to go to hospital with the reason that "He should have worn a helmet"

[noshownogo]

Sony already covering themselves by stating that after learning of the external intrusion after a couple days, they outsourced a team to investigate, took them another few days before that team could reveal that personal info was compromised. At that point customers were informed by official statement.

[Scoobert Bauce]

smh...ppl still supportin anon? anyway they take it they lawse. if is dem hackin psn and compromising info, then they just goin against they reason for existance, and they fail. if is not them, then they eh doin nuttin to "fight for the common man" and they still fail.

[iDynamic]

All fellow Tuners Cancel all credit cards used on psn immediately ....2 hours ago i got direct information from GEOHOT that the bidding started for the batch of 2.2million credit cards (all psn credit cards) ...it will be sold to the highest bidder !

[Swisha]

were we ever able to use trinidad issued credit cards on PSN anyway?

afaik, everyone used PSN cards to purchase content from PSN...

[Bizzare]

It thought that is was most likely a hoax when I heard of this, then I read over 10,000 users noticed fraudulence on their credit figures. See why direct credit card use is unsafe.

[tr1ad]

you couldn't use your trinidad based card on psn

[iDynamic]

you couldn't use your trinidad based card on psn
