Rumor: Sony to be hit by third cyber-attack

Posted May 6, 2011 at 1:41AM EST by Ryan F.

Listed in: News Tags: anonymous, PlayStation Network, ps3 hack, Sony

CNET reports that a group of hackers are planning another wave of assault againts Sony.

psnetwork

According to the site: "An observer of the Internet Relay Chat channel used by the hackers told CNET today that a third major attack is planned this weekend against Sony's Web site. The people involved plan to publicize all or some of the information they are able to copy from Sony's servers, which could include customer names, credit card numbers, and addresses, according to the source. The hackers claim they currently have access to some of Sony's servers."

If the latest attack will succeed, this will be another blow to Sony's already tarnished reputation, with its failure to properly secure user data on their online service that led to personal info being compromised.

Earlier today, hacker group Anonymous has once again denied any responsibility on the PSN attack, despite Sony pointing fingers on the group after they discovered a file named "Anonymous" containing the statement "We are Legion," part of the group's tagline on its hacked server.

Just because someone plays online doesn't mean they're not a real gamer. That's like saying just because I race with a newer car I'm not a real racecar driver.
You can live in the past if you want but realize that online gaming is a part of gaming now weather you use it or not. That's why most games have online components even if it doesn't have a multiplayer mode.
And I think any real gamer would just want to play their games to their fullest potential, online included.

So how do people like me play MAG single player then? Yeah... Was looking forward to it when I bought it a few weeks back too!

Should have read the requirements on the box before buying or looked the game up on the web. It is clearly marked and advertised as an online multiplayer game only. Better yet could have tried the demo before purchasing to see if you would even like it.

# It's in the name people — Private-Lu 2011-05-11 00:00

MAG - means - Massive Action Game

So it's pretty obvious when you think about it.

Childish response, typical of pimple faced nerds living in their parents house at the age of 40, doing what they do best.. Ruining peoples enjoyment and pleasure because you have 'vendetta's' against Sony... go cry yourself a river and drown in it.

-1 # You're an idiot. — Gryph 2011-05-06 17:29

Ok, so if Sony "deserves all they get", why are the customers the ones paying the price, You moron.
As for having "guts", let me point out that it takes NO guts to attack someone by remote. If they truly had guts they'd be out in the open and showing themselves.
No, no.... these are merely cowards, you mouth breathing asshat.

I would suggest, by the way, you go back and take remedial English classes.

# Cowards? — Gamerr 2011-05-11 00:04

No, they are just smart. Look at the last guy who did an attack out in the open and showed himself... He's at the bottom of the ocean now with a bullet wound to the head.

Btw, I've loved Sony since childhood but I think they bought this on themselves since they didn't learn from their last litigation with Immersion which ended up with a $200 million settlement as opposed to a $10 million out of court settlement which Microsoft & Nintendo did. SMH...

-2 # lol — DC 2011-05-06 20:59

Clearly you're a moron. You can't spell and you have no idea about anything...

Nobody 'deserves' anything like that because it's not only Sony being affected, it's millions of customers as well. You obviously don't spend or can't spend any money on anything good in life, so shut your face and appreciate what company's like Sony provide for people.

-1 # *Sigh* — Vanz__ 2011-05-08 13:05

You type like a kid. You're probably not even 18, and you're calling someone else a "kid".

Besides, single player game-modes don't take any real form of skill... Real people are always going to play better than even the most advanced form of AI. Hence the fact that the more "hardcore" gamers play online.

# Shut up — Private-Lu 2011-05-10 23:55

You're a moron to say something like that your Sony hater. Sony are the best thing to happen to Video Games and your the type of person that would do this to them.

And Single Player games aren't all that great especially the rubbish that's being released nowadays, I'm more of a Single Player Game fanatic but there are some that you really should try in Co-Op.

And Sony is spelt with an 'S' not a '$', you moron.

Or you can play video games on different consoles or the computer at least. Geez, ever heard of thinking outside the box? But I guess you guys lost that capability since your too glue to the PS3. I on the other don't care if hackers do make another attack on Sony. Sony might as well just go out of business since the gaming industry is too much for them to handle.

-1 # Well — Eclipsedc 2011-05-06 09:51

Some people don't have another console or a good enough computer to play what they want. Although you may wish Sony would go outta business that wont happen. They do business in more than just the gaming industry, just like Microsoft (except they deal with hardware more than software).
I really don't see how it's too much for them to handle when they're fixing the only huge problem they've had since launch. Although its a big problem they're actually fixing it. Remember that Xbox Live was down for about two weeks last year so it's not like down time isn't needed.
It's easier to have patients when you have something else to do (another console or computer to play on).

-2 # RE: You guys... — Darron 2011-05-06 12:35

Well as it turns out, not everyone has a random $250 to spend 'just in case' the PSN goes down for a few weeks.
I mean its not like we have single player games to play, right?

-1 # haha — Jelster 2011-05-06 03:36

Thank god for hackers. Always been a Sony fan, i have all their consoles, but the last few weeks did something to me...

Lies, deceipt, yes attack, no attack, yes personal data, no personal data, 3rd may, 4th may, next month...i had it with Sony.

And i think the hackers do too. Im sorry, but psn is not a safe place to play anymore.
Yes, i hate it too, want to play MK9 online, but this arrogance has to stop.

And this seems the only way.

the way this is going theres more chance it has something to do with microsoft or just simply american racism. because its not like microsoft hasnt ever fucked people over and imo worse than Sony have lately, why would they get away with out all this crap.

$ony sucks and all the hackers are doing is proving how much.
If $ony didn't sue anyone and actually hired security experts instead then non of this would've happened so don't go blaming the hackers blame the real people and thats $ony.
If PSN was secure then nothing would've been stolen and there would've been no hacks.

There will be more hacks against $ony. Just wait for the big one.
The PSN hack was only the first, the big one is still to come.

# RE: RE: Rumor: Sony to be hit by third cyber-attack — PS360 Owner1 2011-05-06 05:11

If $ony and their team did everything right since the beginning this whole crap wouldn't had happened now.

Way to go, $ony, 25million personal data is stolen and the "compensation" is PS Plus and Music Unlimited for 30 Days, oh WOW it's such a big reward... NOT!

yeah if someone breaks into your house be angry at yourself not the theif.

do you realise that theres always a way through any security. theres always a way to do almost anything. if these hackers wanted to do this to microsoft, you dont think they could?

+2 # RE: RE: RE: Rumor: Sony to be hit by third cyber-attack — Donut595 2011-05-06 06:32

Absolutely. Anyone who knows a bit about IT security knows that any system can be hacked given the time and skills. Sony has been targeted because they've very directly annoyed a high end hacking community (it took a lot of skill to hack the PS3, and though geohot succeeded many were trying). Sony's crime wasn't lax security... the only thing I care about is that they took so long to tell us, thats what lost them our confidence. That's where they failed their users and the third party developers who base their business in the PSN.

# ... — SeRosiS 2011-05-06 07:33

Right, just because it is hackable doesn't give them the right to do it.

Next your gonna tell me it was the World Trade Center's fault for being so damned easy to have planes crash into it...

A terrorist is a terrorist, Sony is gonna look better by the time this is all through.

LOL CONSPIRACY!!

Fucking bush and the corporate-military dictatorship ordered planes for WTC and explosives to bring them down.

But its sony's fault for not giving people freedom, they lock people into their user raping system called PSN and dont allow any other alternative network system for multiplayer.
A terrorist is bullshit, according to them we are all potential terrorists.

HAckers are freedom fighters!

-1 # Mr — PJ 2011-05-06 05:03

There is an overall lesson to be learned from this. I don't blame Sony as such. Hackers are not going to go away and in most cases they do highlight vunerabilities - so I guess this is a good thing to keep companies on their toes.
For me, the use of my general credit cards for online services is coming to an end. The future will lie with top up cards to distance ourselves. The sad thing for companies will be the resulting end to impulse buys, where we monitor credit more closely. I have spent a fair bit on PSN with my apparent never ending credit and can see that my bad habits may finally gain some measure of sense when I see my charge card balance dwindle. Good for me - bad for Sony and other companies for that matter.

# RE: The hackers are lucky that... — mrcory 2011-05-06 11:42

Yeah. I don't get why people are blaming Sony for the down time. It is because of the hackers that they had to go offline. The programmers at Sony are doing their best. You have to think, it is not just some huge company fixing the problem, there are regular people that are doing it.

So far as the file they found, that doesn't prove anything. Maybe it is an impostor group, or maybe some people that are "in" Anonymous that didn't want to just sit around and do nothing.

These hackers are just making it hard on all the good people (and maybe some bad too) that own a PS3 and want to be able to use PSN's features.

Then again, maybe they are just hardcore Wii or 360 fanboys. XD

Anyway, I hope PSN comes back up. It is not fair for a a group of jerks to make people who have paid for something suffer. The consumers are suffering just like Sony. Anonymous realized this and stopped what they were doing. (Though I still think they just fell flat on their face.)

Sorry for such a long post, it just seems like mostly Sony haters are posting comments. Not everyone hates Sony. Just because you are not happy with some of their actions is no reason to get pissed off at them.

# RE: Rumor: Sony to be hit by third cyber-attack — DarkPhoenix07 2011-05-06 10:59

Ive always been a pro hacker but the only reason I defend Sony on this one is because one thing is messing with Sony for revenge and exposing some Sony info or whatever that can expose but, another thing is exposing innocents peoples account and credit card #s, that is not already messing with Sony that is messing with other people that have nothing to do. That's why I cant support the hackers on this one because they did it wrong.

# RE: Rumor: Sony to be hit by third cyber-attack — HiroYanagida 2011-05-06 11:39

this is why sony should never removed otheros this wouldnt be going on now they will keep doing this until 3.60 keys r found via attacking or sony gives them up or hacker like i said finds them ps3 has been busted open more sony is attacked beeter chance keys get released without sony tracing who did it cuz they r being attacked its called tatical strategy

if this is still in retaliation to OtherOs removal/Geohotz lawsuite, it's TIRESOME AND BORING NOW... They aren't proving anything anymore, Sony has already been damaged enough and a third time isn't going to do anything besides make the community itself upset and mad. What in the hell is the logic in that then?

It's old, and they need to move on and pent their rage out in a different mannor instead of affecting the ones that built the community.. US...

Take a hint, hackers. We don't want you hacking anything related to Sony. I want the option to play against my friends online again. In my opinion, it's the hackers that we should be ultimately pissed at and not Sony (though I do understand why people would be). They're smug assholes that already want to attack Sony a third time.

This is getting to be tiresome, boring, and mind boggling, as to why these lifeless twirps feel the need to attack sony for a third time. Are you hurt because Geohotz got hammered in the lawsuit? are you hurt because they removed OS? Then do something useful like the coders out there and create CFW's for the community, instead of trying to PENALIZE the community because of your greed. 'I want credit card numbers and peoples identities' worthless bastards. Obviously these pricks aren't making enough cash to support themselves, so they have to steal from others and use Sony's (contraversial) tactics to secure their own hardware. I don't agree with what Sony did, but it sure as hell doesn't warrant 3 cyber attacks that disrupted the community at the same time.

It's fucking pathetic of you ask me, you little bastards need to do something else with your worthless invaluable time, Go find a different hobby, pricks...

+1 # My thoughts Part 1 — --StepBack-- 2011-05-06 20:12

Hi All,

As a start, I own a PS3 Slim and 3 PSP's (Phat, Slim & Go). I'm looking forward to the PSN coming back online, as I too want to play Co-Op with Portal 2... however these boards are being filled with random comments that are said without a thought and I want to make my thoughts known.

Out of interest, how many of the flamers here (on both sides I.e. Sony &/or Hackers) have browsed multiple sites and not immediately jumped to conclusions based off a single post?

The things to keep in mind is that noone knows EXACTLY what has happened with the PSN at this stage, except maybe Sony themselves. The reasons for people being upset, annoyed and in some cases screaming for blood/murder/rape (major over reaction and not something I want to read about every 2nd post) are as follows with my thoughts:

First and foremost, Sony PSN & SOE got hacked (same day)- yes they did, but can you tell me by who? Who's put their hand up? No one... Further more, it's not just "Hackers" annoyed with Sony, but 205 employees who worked for Sony in their Networks team.

Can someone out there explain why a Software/Network security breach requires the physical relocation of the servers? It makes it sound like there was an actual breach within their data centre, rather than just an external intrusion.

Secondly, a lot more people are annoyed/upset with Sony (Governments as well) with the way this has been handled. It took Sony 6 days to come out and 'blog' that their network had been compromised and data possibly stolen. Yes I can understand that they need to find out what had been taken as well as how this compromise of their systems had occurred, however leaving the world in the dark for 6 days is NOT going to look good! A small press release stating that there has been some untoward activity requiring further investigation would have sufficed.

--StepBack--

+1 # My thoughts Part 2 — --StepBack-- 2011-05-06 20:13

I am not comfortable that my personal data has been copied, or that my credit card details may be on the black market, however there is yet to be a reported incident of this "stolen information" being used. It's feeling more like this information is being held as a statement, rather than for profit (I never did see a SOURCE for the story about someone trying to sell the information back to Sony).

My thoughts as to why the hold up, is that their reaction has been similar to that of other large companies that believe they've had an 'internal' issue that needs resolved... they've gone quiet while they try to correct it before they have to go public, with the hope they have a name/face to go with the problem, so the public see's it as an Open/Shut case.

Finally, yes the PS3 has been hacked (able to run custom software/firmware) and Sony should be grateful it took as long as it did to do. I know a lot of people don't use OtherOS (including myself), but removing a feature that was advertised on purchase wasn't exactly a great move... even for those that didn't care about OtherOS, this was a company removing an advertised feature of their product and following it up with a EULA (which you have to agree to before going onto the PSN or upgrading software) that they have the right to remove any feature at any time. If you don't see the problem with this statement, then you really shouldn't have the use of a computer or any electronic device that is software upgradeable.

I would really like to get back on the PSN, however I can wait as I'd like to know who/what/why this happened. I'm not angry at whoever breached Sony's security (although stealing personal data is wrong and I am slightly worried about my personal information), I am however VERY CONCERNED about the way Sony has handled this.

--StepBack--

P.s. Oh-wouldn't this be the "2nd" attack that is being rumored? PSN/SOE looks like a single attack...

Can the idiots that want to run their mouth about "warning SONY" about hacking into their servers and sites, just quit? Seriously there are people out in the world BESIDES the ones that HACK that like the games they play online for FREE.

If you want to make a point about not having ROMS or shit on your PS3, then whine to someone that cares..like the person staring back at you in the mirror, and by a damn PC or Mac and play your roms on there with LINUX.

I am so sick of ppl messing up good stuff just cause they don't get their way. MIND YOU, though, NOT ALL "hackers" do this, or even want too. But the people that do this kinda shit, even like "Anonymous" just want attn.

Its a damn cry for help in the world cause they cant get their way. Well BooF*cking HOO! Get a fu*king life,job and marry someone, or don't. I don't care. Most of these "new hackers" out there are flipping EMO kids that just want someone to notice them and their "talents"

So To all these "hackers" that are causing shit for SONY, AND M$, I challenge you to something. A Duel of WITS, and MORALITY.

INSTEAD of hacking all this crap and making ppl pissed off at you, why don't you APPLY with M$ OR SONY? Why don't YOU SHOW THEM what you can do FOR them. All your doing otherwise is trying to suckle a tit that's inst there.

No one will hold your hand through all this crap and if they do, more power to them for keeping your mental level at an all time low.

Don't like what I'm saying? Tough. Grow the F up and let your balls drop cause I am sure that there are others out there that will ruin your day as well. I just maybe one of them myself.

i actually think the hackers have done somthing pretty amazing here, and all the douchy remarks in this thread proove it, people who believe people should be killed for any reason seriously should spend less time playing games and more time with the doctor, aslong as the info isnt used or sold or given away in a usable context, they have higlighted sonys dirty attitude to their customers, somthing which a few ddos attacks where never going to do, people crying about this calling the hackers pathetic and such....atleast they can do somthing more than cry that psn is down for a week or 2, and then people who complain feel they can call anyone pathetic, seriously what did you do before psn was available probably sit in your parents house and cry that you cant talk to people, go outside theres plenty of people there that you can talk to

Its amazing that you are all on a HACKING site complaining about hackers. You're all effin morons. I know who did and so does QJ.Net, it was MAth whom made the rebug firmaware that let the hackers get all your data. Im suing MATH for it. Everyone else should do the same.

+1 # Look at it this way — IthinkGuest 2011-05-07 17:47

Remember the move 'Hackers' with Angelina Joli??? Same scenario except sony's Big Brother and they are trying to tell us, "the masses," or "the people," or "everyone" what to do with our property. That's like me telling you, after you bought your meat at my market, that you are only allowed to eat it raw, after 3 days have passed, and you cant refrigerate it. And if you don't I get to sue you for a lot of money!!! Mwahahah!

i hope this won't delay the NGP, that device is godsend, just like psp was when it hit the stores.

lower consumer confidence will hurt sales of any future sony products.

+1 # Sony deserves this... — Manasponge 2011-05-09 11:03

You can't go around making the rules up as you go along. They way they took OtherOS away from the ps3 implies they can take anything away from the ps3 by simply putting up a forced update and an EULA. How would you feel if Sony "decides" that the ability to play rented or traded games was no longer profitable and they made it so all games had to be activated on psn? Would you be happy about that? What's to stop them from doing this? nothing! There was nothing keeping these guys in check. Now there is and I hope this keeps happening until Sony smartens up. They don`t care about us because if they did, we would not have had to wait so long to find out what was actually going on when the PSN was first pulled down.

-1 # ok... — Dark_Skai 2011-05-09 19:53

I get it, I'm not going to justify what Sony did was right, because taking away a feature on a console that you sold isn't right, but this is getting ridiculous, I'm a tech enthusiast myself not a hacker by any means but I love the scene, and I love seeing what the community can do, whatever they are working on, but what they are doing is hurting not only Sony but us the Gamers, regardless of how "justified" it is to attack Sony, they should have left us the gamers, the very people they sought to represent, out of it, so I personally cannot support what they are doing, on the other hand, maybe they are just a bunch of people who just dont care who is in the crossfire, to Quote Alfred from the Dark Knight "Some people just wants to watch the world burn..."

# WTF — JH007 2011-05-09 22:52

I dislike the PS3 this console cycle than the others THIS TIME but this is rediculous I'm a gamer first and I hope sony nails whoever had done this!

# don't forget — manasponge 2011-05-11 17:33

It was SONY's decision to pull the PSN down... It did not crash. They could have easily investigated this "problem" while we were playing our games online knowing little to nothing about what was going on. Sony "chose" to blow this up to what it is today. I appreciate knowing my information may have been compromised, but had I not known, been able to play my games, and been told after the fact that something was not very safe and needed to change going forward I would be much happier. Sony should have shut up, kept things status quo, and dealt with whoever got defrauded by these hackers legitimately out of pocket. I bet it would have cost less than 1.5 billion

Sony need to reimburse all its affected customers and developers else they will lose a lot of their customer base.

Clearly Sony are clueless as to proper security measures regarding locking down linux servers and properly installing and configuring a segmented firewall architecture.

I am so thankful I will never join PSN and have my identity stolen by a group of script kiddies
