BG45 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 [url="http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2011/04/playstation-network-hacked/"]Sony: All customer data may have been stolen.[/url] [quote] Sony thinks an “unauthorized person” now has access to all PlayStation Network account information and passwords, and may have obtained users’ credit card numbers. The PlayStation maker said it believes hackers now have access to customers’ names, addresses, passwords and any other profile data that was stored on the PlayStation Network servers, the company said in a blog post Tuesday afternoon. Credit card information may also be at risk, Sony cautioned. “While there is no evidence at this time that credit card data was taken, we cannot rule out the possibility,” reads the post, which Sony says it will e-mail to all PlayStation Network account holders, as well as users of its Qriocity streaming-media service. “If you have provided your credit card data through PlayStation Network or Qriocity, out of an abundance of caution we are advising you that your credit card number (excluding security code) and expiration date may have been obtained.”[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dUSt Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 [quote name='cmotherofpirl' timestamp='1303791433' post='2233199'] Unfortunately my netflix account is thru Playstation, so the regular nap-inducing episodes of Kipper, Shaun the Sheep and Angelina Ballerina are in short supply and gbaby is NOT a happy camper. I NEED MY NAPS!!!!! [/quote] Netflix still works on the Playstation. You just gotta attempt to login a couple times, and fail, but it still gets on Netflix anyway after the second fail.
