Sony sheds more light on PSN credit card info security |
Listed in: News Tags: PlayStation Network, Sony
Patrick Seybold, Sony's Senior Director of Corporate Communications and Social Media, has posted a couple of quick clarifications on the status of the credit card info that was possibly compromised during the PSN breach on the US PlayStation blog.
Says Seybold: "While the passwords that were stored were not 'encrypted,' they were transformed using a cryptographic hash function. There is a difference between these two types of security measures which is why we said the passwords had not been encrypted. But I want to be very clear that the passwords were not stored in our database in cleartext form."
He also debunked rumors that a group who managed to gain access to PSN customers' credit card info tried to sell them back to Sony. "To my knowledge there is no truth to this report of a list, or that Sony was offered an opportunity to purchase the list," he posted.
Seybold also encouraged PSN users to change their passwords once the service is fully restored. Sony is currently working with law enforcement organizations to trace whoever was responsible for the PSN breach.

Now why would I want a criminal to get off free? Read this very carefully. I am morally OPPOSED to criminals getting off free. HOWEVER, if sony just restores the information on a new hash or behind just one more firewall, or a modified one,then our informaion is not safe still, and if hacked again we'll know just how much SONY really cares about securing the network and our own privacy.
and if you, annomous hacker are reading this:
I sincerely hope that you cannot do it again, but if you can, then thank you for showing EVERYONE just how much sony cares

2: Do you know the very definition of Anonymous? here, let me give it to you:
anonymous
1: having no known name or identity or known source; "anonymous authors"; "anonymous donors"; "an anonymous gift" [syn: {anon.}] [ant: {onymous}]
2: not known or lacking marked individuality; "brown anonymous houses"; "anonymous bureaucrats in the Civil Service"
who's the moron now?

If Sony for once actually cared for their clients, they would add decent features.
