Will the last 7days remembered in gaming forever

To trigger happy mods this isnt just about psn attacks, this does not fit under the sticky as it discussed other services such as amazon, xbox live as well

April 19 2011 Glados Goes online

Amazon Cloud services go down for over 24 hours causing multiple high profile websites to go under with many being gaming services

The entire PSN is shut down by SONY headquarters after alarms are raised of a security breach

Investigators determine an external attack was committed against PSN stealing personal information

Numouras Gaming communities such as NEOGAF claim that a XBOXlive network error unbanning all permabanned consoles

Microsoft declares xbox live is under attack from scammers trying to steal information, users are warned to be careful

LULZ EVERYWHERE :lol: Gaming Armageddon

I'll probably forget about it by the end of the year.

3 major service effecting gamers have had major network issues. And you all think it will be forgotten

Sony will never recover from this. Its stupid that some fanboys will still try and defend Sony after all of this.

More importantly, it will be used to bash Sony in SW for many years to come

Cow: "LOL I still get to play online for free!!! :P "

Lem: "LOL at least I still have my identity!!!"

Cow: " :( "

Gaming armageddon? Am I really the only person that plays PC games online... or god forbid... single player games anymore?

the fact that psn..a free and sloppy online service was hacked will be an impact on people but in a few months when uncharted 3 hype train starts up again it will be forgotten

but. the fear of ANY online server crashing like this and having identities in control wont be...

basically people will be more fearful of attacks, but will eventually forget this attack....well hardcore gamers

Why would you call them trigger happy mods? You seem to be trying to force gamespot to talk about something that has already been talked about til death. They must have canned some of your lame topics for you to say the mods are trigger happy. Can you explain this in further detail about the MODs being trigger happy?

Suddenly, I'm sort of glad that my WoW account got hacked after I was dumb enough to check my email on my x-wife's not so secure laptop. My psn pasword is probably the only one I have'nt changed.

Back on topic...

No its not there fault,but Sony should have given warnings as soon as they thought our accounts were at risk. Instead they wait six days to tell us and all it takes is one day for a hacker to get your personal information and credit card details. The fact of the matter is that Sony dropped the ball big time and if you try to defend Sony after all of this then it is clear that you are a 12 year old who doesn't get how serious this is because itsMom or Pops credit card at risk.

Sorry, but..

If you're on a network that gets hacked. You should be fully aware that you could be at risk. Sony's not your mommy. They shouldn't HAVE to tell you something like that. They haven't said everyone's at risk, anyway. They just suggested that everyone should change their passwords JUST IN CASE. Boo hoo. They got hacked and people got info stolen. It's not like this stuff doesn't happen almost everyday out of the year everywhere else.

Of course I'm 12, you're pretty wise my friend...

Having said that Sony put down the PSN as soon as they realized about the intrusion. After this point no hacker would've been able to get more users info. Whatever they got before the PSN was down is what they have right now, so even if it took Sony 6 days to realize CC info could've been compromised, there was no harm to it. Bad luck to those whose info was stole (if there was any) but there's no point on blaming sony for announcing this after 6 days.

Oh but I forgot I'm 12 y.o. and don't know much about it.... you big manly man probably know a good way to get that info even if the PSN is down, right?? You're sooooooooooo wise and smart that I think I wanna be just like you when I grow up.

Sony asked for my info when I signed up so therefore they have to take care of it. Of course they should warn me that my account may be in danger.

See sig

I don't think there has been any proper damage to any CC accounts yet. So until then we can just assume that it's not as big as people are making it out to be.

I don't think people will forget the pissing and moaning anytime soon.
