Deadline says:
Sony’s admission that its PlayStation Network and Qriocity on-demand TV service have been hacked by a lone computer hacker is “a significant short-term blow” for the company, Michael French, editor-in-chief of games trade magazine MCV tells me. It is believed to be one of the biggest-ever security breaches of the Internet. Qriocity, which launched in the U.S. in April 2010, uses the same log-in details as PlayStation Network, says Informa analyst Andrew Ladbrook. Sony’s on-demand movie service has been rolled out to Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK. “It will affect people’s download purchases in the long-term. This is a big setback for the service,” says Ladbrook.
Bros Review: The series, as the title suggests, is about two adult men who want to behave like children and we are not here for that.
Going Home With Tyler Cameron Review: This is a simple, no-nonsense but cliched watch, with Cameron's boyish charms taking centre stage.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Sony is in all kinds of deep crap over this breach. If those numbers are accurate thet they serve up 800,000 pieces of content per day - I'm frightened to see what this is costing them.
Not to mention the fact that the entire PSN network has been down for a week now and 77 Million users information has been compromised - I suspect that confidence in the company by and large is shot.
people are stupid and retarded.
How is PSN summed up to 77 million users?
the ps3 hasn't even reached 50million yet.
Obviously people have multiple accounts and if you use paying cards for other accounts for US/UK/Japan then you are in deep sh*
Great big mess for Sony. I just want the PSN to come back up so I can change my pass. I never plan on using a CC for anything Sony-related ever again. To think that they had all our info just sitting there in plaintext like some 2-bit mom 'n pop shop.
Everyone just be careful with all your info out there...can't trust anything these days.
I'm not much of a gamer folks but that sounds serious. When Sony gets their mess straigtened out I'd would still check and double check before trusting my credit card, SS, and other personal information with them for a while.
