@maxcer
its not about defending anything its about retarded ass blogs of fanboys that they pass off as news look at it like this
if you have auto pay its your responsiblity to keep money in your account to cover said charge OR turn it off so you dont get over charged.. now bearing in mind that if the psn problems never happend youd get charged anyway and you wouldnt care...why does it matter now that you get billed for it when if you canceled youd still get your on...
@ thats just prime
well its still not sonys fault...they just didnt go in to your account and take the money you had to have given them access to bill you for said service/item... if you didnt want the charge the CANCEL THE AUTO BILLING OR DONT SIGN UP
acting like they held a gun to your head............
bane your an idiot and should really take some journalisim classes...who is really at fault if they cant figure out how to stop reoccuring billing on thier own credit card they THEY THEMSELVES signed up for.....and you go and automatically blame sony....yeah definately retarded... people who sign up for auto pay are on just that AUTO PAY you dont want it to charge you then dont be lazy and remember to pay it each month.......
be a responsible adult and ya know maybe go call...
ok but raiin is right how did they steal info from a 10 year old database that the story says is from psn in 2001 if psn didnt start up till 2006
HOW INDEED?!?!?!
they def dont care but on the otherside of the coin WHOOPTY DOO they published data that included NAMES AND ADDRESSES...so they make a big story of the hackers publishing what is BASIC DATA you can get OUTTA THE PHONE BOOK...i mean its 2500 names and addresses... so basically the took the average towns yellow pages and photocopied it........what a joke...how is that to be worried about..in addition to that its from a 10 YEAR OLD DATABASE
a good percentage of it is probably ...
@ pixelated army
im going to believe you cause you have one bubble, and everything that people with one bubble say should be taken as the gospel........../s
sue them for provideing a free service, that you willingly submittied your info to, be secure with your shit people dont use a CC if you dont want the possibilty of getting it stolen use a psn card. problem solved
be happy you can even afford internet to sit on your couch and play why people across the world suffer
this site is retarded down vote them
*and now sit ups before zod
..1 before zod
..2 before zod...........*
*kneel before zod, or after zod...........*
n4g has quality control winter click the plus sign by the url under the story link you can vote the web sites and the story
^^^^lol^^^^^
search stones throw away too that way you can kill two birds with one stone....HAH..
CC numbers were encrypted as was the user ids the only thing they got were addresses
(oh no they hacked info the couldve gotten from the yellow pages now they can steal my identity /s)
.... without access to the encryption keys (which the hacker doesnt have) it would take decades to break the encryption by force....my credit card expires this december...i doubt there is much if anything to worry about... be a gamer not a fanbitch yoda
