Kevin butler tricked into tweeting PS3 Secruity key

Sausage

:lol: Wow, just wow

What a shame. Pretty good actor but a total moron.

I don't get it.. First of all, that's way beyond ignorant and second of all, why would KB have the master key?

Do you people really think that is the real kevin bulter? Why would an actor have access to the PS3 security key? lolDiviniuz

Ancient news as I heard about this ages ago. :o

:P

Anyhoo, seems pretty damn naive this Kevin guy is.

lol

That was great!

Lol. Ah well, he's still my favorite announcer guy for Sony.

Just like Reggie is for Nintendo.

i'm not getting the joke here.

is it that sony has now officially released the key into the public and hackers can't be held accountable for any damages the info does?

If real, I would say Geohotz just received a boost to his defense :)

LMAO at the fiasco this whole situation is for Sony.

the link no longer workshiryu3

From what I read someone tweeted him the code to which whoever was using the twiiter retweeted it in his message with the response "Does this mean you sunk my battleship?"CajunShooter

As a publicity stunt, it's rather lame, IMO. Call me when someone manages to glean the LV1 key or Sony's SSL certificate (then you'll be seeing something newsworthy).

Here it is:

Hey Sony: COME AT ME! :D

Here it is:

Hey Sony: COME AT ME! :D

Im going to post another PS3 code D3 F5 12 56 H8 Q9 67 PO7 W3 X1 M4 A1 QA PL P3 F4 S2 RT 61 HR 3F G0 M2

See what i did there?

It could be totally random numbers and letters, what make you think he has access to those codes. Come one!

Why not? Sony's own VP of Marketing posted it.

What a shame. Pretty good actor but a total moron.

I guess proof of the concept that the ability to read and speak does not make a person intelligent exists. I cant believe some of the replies on here.

I don't get it to be honest, someone posts a code then the other guy replies "lemme guess...you sank my battleship?" where did he ( Kevin Butler that is ) tweet the code? all I see is someone asking a question, no numbers there :?

Since when does a actor or who ever in Sony's marketing crew have access and knowledge of the security key?? :shock:

The PlayStation 3's security key is an ALPHA-NUMERIC number.

Proof that you should watch what you re-tweet on twitter.

[QUOTE="dommeus"] I doubt an actor updates his character's twitter...fusionhunter

You don't get it, do you? Here is a brief explanation for your simple mind-

1. Fan adds Sony's official twitter account to their "follow" list.

2. Fan posts what looks like random mumbo jumbo, and directs it at Sony's official twitter account.

3. Sony responds (also called "retweeting") thinking that it is just random mumbo jumbo and add in their little joke ("battleship yada-yada").

4. Sony then realizes their mistake and removes the tweet.

Ta-da! That's how we explain it to people who don't understand things.

[QUOTE="Ontain"] Many actors do. it's a PR thing and we know that PR is part of his job.

If he tweeted that key before the PS3 got hacked, it would matter.

But since that key was discovered ages ago and is available all over the internet, it doesn't really matter that he tweeted it.

I'll explain:

Some dude WHO ALREADY KNEW THE PS3 KEY THINGIE tweeted Kevn B. with the key and said "There. Come and get me". The idea, in clearer terms, was "Here, actor guy hired by Sony, I have the PS3 key, which is *insert key here*. Now tell your bosses to come and sue me". The actor replied to the tweet, not knowing what all those numbers and letters were, by saying "You sank my battleship", but he didn't edit the original tweet and, thus, the master key was shown on Kevin Butlers' official twitter feed.

How dumb can you get? I mean, seriously.
