Sony, you should have protected my data and not let it get stolen and then start protecting me. Stop being stupid Sony. Get your act together.

My son was explaining that what the problem with the psn security model as it was was that the psn network was set to believe anything the console itself sent it. Once the ps3 was hacked the hacket had access to all sorts of other things and options. That made getting to the rest of Sony’s database pretty easy.

I’m sure he said that the passwords were stored in plain text. which means that if you were foolish enough to use the same password for everything all the hacker has to do is search for you nickname on Google try the password, chances are it will work. They may be able to get a bit more info from your personal details and be a few steps closer to stealing your identity.

As our friends at Destructoid pointed out, I was incorrect on the last point of the credit card question above. I want to make an important distinction: While we do ask for CCV codes, we do not store them in our database. It is transmitted to our payment processors for verification purposes only. Deep apologies for the confusion.

SCEA’s purported Justifications for Removal were False.
This is what has lead to all this stuff happening.
“It is very unusual for Sony to completely rebuild a system after a security breach, rather than just stopping the bleeding and going back to some kind of restricted network,” said Mark Seiden, a longtime information security consultant. “The fact that two separate networks are involved in this security breach suggests –>>Sony discovered a major underlying problem that already existed.”<<<<
So my question is this, IF sony already new it existed why didn't they fix it? Could our Data have been Compromised at an earlier time as well?
This is why people are up set, Sony new about it and didn't care until now.
I would say that this cost Sony Dearly.
Sony Needs to become transparent. No more hiding anything, no more lying about reasons for removing features .
and the only reason why I am using my PS3 is because Xbox doesn't store my HD Videos.

Citation :

161. This statement is a fabrication. SCEA gave these reasons as a pretext so that it could attempt to argue that the Warranty, SSLA, and/or TOS allowed for the removal of the “Other OS” feature. In reality, SCEI and SCEA removed this feature because it was expensive to maintain (as they previously admitted when the feature was removed from the “slim” models – but which they conveniently removed from SCEA’s website); they were losing money on every PS3 unit sold (due to poor decisions in the planning and design of the Cell chip as noted above and given the PS3′s extra features); SCEA needed to promote and sell games to make their money back on the loss-leading PS3 consoles (and there was no profit in users utilizing the computer functions of the PS3); and IBM wanted to sell its expensive servers utilizing the Cell processor (users could cluster PS3s for the same purposes much less expensively).

@data; get over it. You were able to still use Other OS if you chose to. You just couldn’t log onto Playstation Network if that’s what you chose. The update stated this very clearly, that if you choose to update then you’ll lose Other OS and if you choose not to update you won’t have access to PSN.

You could have still used Other OS to your hearts content. Obviously it was not that important to you as you chose to update your console willingly. They did not break into your home and force an update onto your console. You agreed to the update, you took it away from yourself and the hackers are the reason you had to make that choice in the first place.

So perhaps you and all those other people should sue them instead of Sony, because they are the reason Sony removed it.

Well, this is my final comment.
Sony, You have taken a great deal from us and now you have indeed been served your ” Dish of Crow.”
I hope you have learned your lesson in mistreating the Consumers. if Not, I am sure you will be taught yet another.

As i removing the other OS wasn’t an insult enough, now you fail to protect my security?
I have no Sympathy for you at all. You did this to your self.
