    I have thoughts about this, but I'm keeping them to myself. However, lulz@Sony's non-competence. Seriously, unencrypted transmittal and local storage? Fucking amateurs.

    This video sums up my feelings on the PSN issues pretty well.

    This is why Nintendo doesn't do much in the way of online gaming. The "hardcore" folks think of that as a flaw, but maybe they're just being careful.

    "Online gaming"? Huh?

    The issue is people buying things by entering their credit card info directly on their console. Something Nintendo and Microsoft offer too.

    So Nintendo should leave out a major console feature because they're "too careful" to practice proper security? (Or poor security, like Sony.)

    Anyway, like heybtbm said, Nintendo does process credit cards on their systems.

    I called my credit card company today and had them send me a new card. I'd rather not take a chance. I'm sure the spam is coming...

    I'm glad I don't reuse passwords. I wonder if the passwords were plaintext or hashed.

    For those concerned about Sony being fortcoming with their info,

    here are some official answers from Sony to the most frequently asked questions about this friggin' fiasco:

    http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/...city-services/

    And this Sony knowledge center page which also answers several key questions:

    http://us.playstation.com/support/an....htm?a_id=2356

    A key point to note, according to Sony, all credit card info in their possession is and was encrypted and they have not uncovered any evidence that credit card data was compromised on their end.

    Still, until the investigation is concluded, there's no reason not to protect yourself by getting a new card issued.

    This episode and subsequent lawsuits will make the giant losses during the introduction of the PS3 look like chump change.

    I think the first lawsuit will come from DC Universe online users. They have the most valid beef since their game is online only. I expect the DCUO community(both members) to sue with reckless abandon.

    Hmm ... compromised data aside - other than the loss of 2-3 weeks subscription fees for DCUO (which can't be more than $20 and I'm sure SOE is prepared to credit), what reasons could they possibly sue for that would be worth the costs of legal fees and/or any judge would take seriously?

    Personally, if I had a DCUO account I'd probably just call Sony and ask for a credit before filing a lawsuit.

    And now there's a class action suit filed in California against Sony. Whether this will be of any use or not remains to be seen, but I'm certanily not surprised.

    I'm in total agreement here. I fail to see what the point of a massve lawsuit would achieve. Sony screwed up, but they don't owe us anything beyond subscription reimbursements if we have any.

    As a consumer I can decide whether or not to support Sony with my money. I believe that ultimately sends a stronger message than a cash-grab.

    Agreed. A lawsuit would be stupid. A search for "credit card company hacked" on Google yields many results. I highly doubt there were massive lawsuits against those companies. People need to get over themselves and re-join reality...... We feel so entitled as a society.

    I got the e-mail this morning from Sony about the breach. I haven't been on PSN in forever and a day so I don't remember what information I put on there but I certainly don't remember putting any CC info up. I wanted to go in and check what data I did put in but I can't remember where to go and I imagine it's still shut down anyway.

    So is PSN still down? I wouldn't know because that would require me to use it.

    They function just fine, they don't need persistent connectivity but you cant buy any new stuff during the outage.
