Sorry, but the Playstation Network is currently undergoing maintenance. Sony’s faithful have been tortured over the last week from their online services being taken down. What was once thought as a possible intrusion by Internet trolls has turned into one of the worst server meltdowns in gaming history. Not only has the server collapse prevented users from downloading new roster updates, classic titles, and online competition, it may also have given away your private information to these hackers. I’m very optimistic, probably more optimistic about bad situations like this than I should be, but I’ve got to say people really should be worried. The Playstation Blog has been posting question and answer forums to help users through this FUUUUUUUU! kind of time. While they stated how sophisticated (an obvious lie) their security system was, they did openly admit the hackers breached the security system which held some of the network users’ personal information. They had also stated the credit card system which is placed on its personal security platform was encrypted and protected. They also state there has been no evidence of credit card theft, but will not state the information is safe. Although the hackers would not be able to obtain the CVS or 3-digit security code, they possibly have the credit card number and the expiration date. And if these hackers are able to breach the entire Playstation Network, I wouldn’t put it past them to obtain a 3-digit security code. (more…)
