SOE: User data may have been stolen from our servers |
Listed in: News Tags: dc universe online, free realms, news, PlayStation Network, SOE, Sony, Sony Online Entertainment

Yesterday, Sony Online Entertainment took down the Station.com online portal in light of the attacks that cripples the PlayStation Network. We hoped it was just so Sony could update the service's security along with PSN, but apparently it's a lot worse than that.
SOE recently sent out a press release confirming that "hackers may have stolen SOE customer information on April 16th and 17th, 2011." The announcement goes into more detail:
This information, which was discovered by engineers and security consultants reviewing SOE systems, showed that personal information from approximately 24.6 million SOE accounts may have been stolen, as well as certain information from an outdated database from 2007. The information from the outdated database that may have been stolen includes approximately 12,700 non-U.S. credit or debit card numbers and expiration dates (but not credit card security codes), and about 10,700 direct debit records of certain customers in Austria, Germany, Netherlands and Spain.
Compromised date includes the following: name, address, e-mail address, birthdate, gender, phone number, login name, and hashed password. In addition, the 10,700 direct debit records from accounts in Austria, Germany, Netherlands and Spain, include: bank account number, customer name, account name, and customer address.
Sony will be sending out emails to any users whose data may have been stolen. Futhermore, it will grant customers 30 days of additional time on their subscriptions, in addition to compensating them one day for each day the system is down. It is also in the process of outlining a "make good" plan for its PlayStation 3 MMOs, DC Universe Online and Free Realms.

They didn't get any passwords and one thing the article doesn't mention that all sources claim is the hackers didn't get the CC security codes so....all worthless information.
Also, 12k versus 77 million?
Good job this time around Sony!
24.6 million names? Ever heard of the white pages ya dumb hacker?
Either way, the info is outdated from 2007. That makes is all pretty much worthless. I've never had a CC that lasted 4 year. All expired info.

If I was the PSN hacker, I'd steal £1 from everybodies accounts, not that fake shit that kid posted with the $12.500 or whatever.

The direct debit records are more troubling, seems kind of crazy to link your bank account directly to sony servers but I suppose hindsight is 20/20.

you can put as many locks on the door as you want but robbers can still come through the windows.
In other words you can make the best security system for servers in the world but there will still be a way to get past it, for everything that can be coded to stop hackers there can be another code that will break it.
