[Centraal] Playstation Network Problemen

Dat is zo gepiept toch? Ik zou het risico niet willen nemen en zou hem dus inderdaad even laten blokkeren.

 

Zal het morgen even doen. Heb ooit iets gekocht maar volgens mij staan mijn gegevens niet op de console.

 

Lol ik had gister in de pauze met m'n collega nog een brandende discussie over X360 vs. PS3. Het maakt mij geen flikker uit, maar hij probeerde me dus duidelijk te maken hoeveel de PS3 beter was. Toen zag ik dit gister volgens mij op DWDD.

Auch.

 

Rumour: PSN member credit card numbers on sale in hacker underground ​ The cyber-security community and its shadowy cousin are abuzz today with rumours that hackers are offering to sell a database of 2.2 million credit card details stolen from Sony’s network. The rumours seem to have originated with Trend Micro’s Kevin Stevens, who tweeted today that the hackers responsible for breaching the PSN’s security are willing to part with a chunk of the information so obtained – for a price. He later added that Sony had been offered the chance to buy back the information, but declined. The database is said to include full user details for each card – first and surname; address; phone number; email address; email password; date of birth; and credit card number, expiry state and security code. The inclusion of email password and card security code, neither of which are collected by Sony, lends some weight to the suggestion that this is a load of old bollocks. We’ll be chasing Sony about this; expect an update soon. In support, PSX-Scene has a chat log and several screenshots supposedly taken from hacker and credit card fraud communities. The site echoed the rumour that Sony had been offered the chance to buy back the database. The first attack Meanwhile, an Australian man is claiming to be the first documented victim of PSN-gate related credit fraud. ABC News reports the unfortunate PSN member found several small transactions on his statement following the security breach, in a pattern familiar to those who’ve been caught by scammers. Soon after, over AUD $2000 in charges hit the account. If the activity is related to PSN-gate, the target of the purported fraud was lucky enough to score a stupid scammer, who purchased flights within Australia and hotel stays. There is little chance the beneficiary of these purchases will escape detection.

 

Denk dat iemand Sony een poot wil uitdraaien met wat gebakken lucht

 

Hebben ze nu wel of niet die CC gegevens? (of moet ik hem laten blokkeren?)

Vaagheid

 

Ik twijfel ook nog steeds.... het gaat hier om een paar miljoen CC account gegevens. Kans is natuurlijk klein dat net jouw gegevens daarbij zitten. Maar toch...

Ik vraag me af of de grote menigte daadwerkelijk de CC gaan blokkeren, of dat Sony hier snel een oplossing voor vindt.

Maar verder, wat een disaster voor Sony en wat een prutserige communicatie. Natuurlijk is het helemaal niet belangrijk deze persoonlijke gegevens goed te beschermen. Wie zou dat nou willen hacken?

Eurogamer: PSN: The PR Disaster.

EDIT: Sowieso besef ik mij net... als je de CC tijdelijk blokkeert verhelpt dat het probleem natuurlijk niet. Zo'n hacker kan gewoon zijn kans afwachten en na de-blokkade alsnog je geld bemachtigen. Helaas kom je er alleen achter of een illegale partij je gegevens heeft bemachtigd door slachtoffer van onbekende transacties te worden?

EDIT 2: Meh, in het volgende artikel lees ik weer dat de drie-delige controle code van elke CC niet is bemachtigd door hackers. Sony beschikt blijkbaar niet over deze gegevens. Dit is belangrijk, want deze controle code is de sleutel bij betalingen (het is hetzelfde als je pincode, zonder deze heb je ook relatief weinig aan een banknummer).

================================================================
Sony said Wednesday that credit card information on its PlayStation Network was encrypted, but it cannot rule out the possibility that it was obtained by the hackers.

PS3 hacker George Hotz, meanwhile, denied any involvement.

"The entire credit card table was encrypted and we have no evidence that credit card data was taken, [but] we cannot rule out the possibility," Sony said in a blog post.

Other personal data, like emails and names, were not encrypted; it was "behind a very sophisticated security system that was breached in a malicious attack," Sony said.

As a result, Sony is warning users that their credit card data "may have been obtained." The three-digit code on the back of the card, known as the CVC or CSC number, was not compromised, but that's because Sony does not request that information so it's not stored on its system."

Ze zijn niet heel goed in damage control bij Sony.

Het bedrijf zal er echt niet van omvallen, maar zo zonde nu de toekomst er net goed uitzag.

Al zou het mij ook niet verbazen als je er over een maand niets meer van hoort en iedereen gewoon door gaat zoals vantevoren.


Wat ik zelf trouwens net zo schandalig van banken vind: Om een nieuwe CC aan te vragen en te activeren had ik alleen mijn geboortedatum nodig bij ABN. Alsof niemand die weet...

 

je moet hem dan ophalen met je id neem ik aan?

ik zie niet in waarom ik mijn cc zou laten blokkeren. Zit bijna dagelijks op de site van de ING en met 1 telefoontje haal je het geld weer terug. Daarnaast hebben ze de security-code niet.

 

ABN stuurt hem op en daarna moet je een nummer bellen en dmv je geboortedatum activeren

 

Heb vandaag gewoon LittleBigPlanet 2 besteld bij Bol.com.
Ik zie wel wanneer PSN weer online komt, En zodra dat gebeurd game ik gewoon weer verder.

Dat dit heeft kunnen gebeuren is erg jammer, Maar ik ga ervanuit dat Sony hier wel van geleerd heeft.

 

Ja zo heftig als dit is het nog nooit geweest ...

Ik hoop wel dat sony er een beetje ongeschonden uitkomen zonder teveel kleerscheuren.
Want in principe valt alles te hacken .. dit is ook geen werk van simpele hackers.

 

Laten we hopen dat het echt ''full of shit is'' !!!!

 

Ben ik even blij dat ik mijn CC gegevens nooit heb ingevoerd bij PSN...

 

Geef me maar ter compensatie een gratis game. En dan niet zo een PSN game, maar een 'Games on Demand' game.
Burnout Paradise ofzo.

 

Iets mogen ze wel doen inderdaad...en dan vind ik toch ook wel dat de Plus leden iets extra's verdienen.

 

Gratis NGP voor de mensen die al vanaf het begin lid zijn van Plus!

 

goed idee!

SOME PLAYSTATION NETWORK AND QRIOCITY SERVICES TO BE AVAILABLE THIS WEEK ​ Phased Global Rollout of Services to Begin Regionally; System Security Enhanced to Provide Greater Protection of Personal Information. Tokyo, May 1, 2011 – Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) and Sony Network Entertainment International (SNEI, the company) announced they will shortly begin a phased restoration by region of PlayStation®Network and Qriocity™ services, beginning with gaming, music and video services to be turned on. The company also announced both a series of immediate steps to enhance security across the network and a new customer appreciation program to thank its customers for their patience and loyalty. Following a criminal cyber-attack on the company’s data-center located in San Diego, California, U.S.A., SNEI quickly turned off the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services, engaged multiple expert information security firms over the course of several days and conducted an extensive audit of the system. Since then, the company has implemented a variety of new security measures to provide greater protection of personal information. SNEI and its third-party experts have conducted extensive tests to verify the security strength of the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services. With these measures in place, SCE and SNEI plan to start a phased rollout by region of the services shortly. The initial phase of the rollout will include, but is not limited to, the following: • Restoration of Online game-play across the PlayStation®3 ( PS3 ) and PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) systems • This includes titles requiring online verification and downloaded games • Access to Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity for PS3/PSP for existing subscribers • Access to account management and password reset • Access to download un-expired Movie Rentals on PS3, PSP and MediaGo • PlayStation®Home • Friends List • Chat Functionality Working closely with several outside security firms, the company has implemented significant security measures to further detect unauthorized activity and provide consumers with greater protection of their personal information. The company is also creating the position of Chief Information Security Officer, directly reporting to Shinji Hasejima, Chief Information Officer of Sony Corporation, to add a new position of expertise in and accountability for customer data protection and supplement existing information security personnel. The new security measures implemented include, but are not limited to, the following: • Added automated software monitoring and configuration management to help defend against new attacks • Enhanced levels of data protection and encryption • Enhanced ability to detect software intrusions within the network, unauthorized access and unusual activity patterns • Implementation of additional firewalls The company also expedited an already planned move of the system to a new data center in a different location that has been under construction and development for several months. In addition, PS3 will have a forced system software update that will require all registered PlayStation Network users to change their account passwords before being able to sign into the service. As an added layer of security, that password can only be changed on the same PS3 in which that account was activated, or through validated email confirmation, a critical step to help further protect customer data. The company is conducting a thorough and on-going investigation and working with law enforcement to track down and prosecute those responsible for the illegal intrusion. “This criminal act against our network had a significant impact not only on our consumers, but our entire industry. These illegal attacks obviously highlight the widespread problem with cyber-security. We take the security of our consumers’ information very seriously and are committed to helping our consumers protect their personal data. In addition, the organization has worked around the clock to bring these services back online, and are doing so only after we had verified increased levels of security across our networks,” said Kazuo Hirai, Executive Deputy President, Sony Corporation. “Our global audience of PlayStation Network and Qriocity consumers was disrupted. We have learned lessons along the way about the valued relationship with our consumers, and to that end, we will be launching a customer appreciation program for registered consumers as a way of expressing our gratitude for their loyalty during this network downtime, as we work even harder to restore and regain their trust in us and our services.” Complimentary Offering and “Welcome Back” Appreciation Program While there is no evidence at this time that credit card data was taken, the company is committed to helping its customers protect their personal data and will provide a complimentary offering to assist users in enrolling in identity theft protection services and/or similar programs. The implementation will be at a local level and further details will be made available shortly in each region. The company will also rollout the PlayStation Network and Qriocity “Welcome Back” program, to be offered worldwide, which will be tailored to specific markets to provide our consumers with a selection of service options and premium content as an expression of the company’s appreciation for their patience, support and continued loyalty. • Each territory will be offering selected PlayStation entertainment content for free download. Specific details of this content will be announced in each region soon. • All existing PlayStation Network customers will be provided with 30 days free membership in the PlayStation Plus premium service. Current members of PlayStation Plus will receive 30 days free service. • Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity subscribers (in countries where the service is available) will receive 30 days free service. Additional “Welcome Back” entertainment and service offerings will be rolled out over the coming weeks as the company returns the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services to the quality standard users have grown to enjoy and strive to exceed those exceptions. SNEI will continue to reinforce and verify security for transactions before resuming the PlayStation®Store and other Qriocity operations, scheduled for this month.
