Trying to figure out just how you made *that* absurd leap in logic.

So tried to login to PSN on my console, had to do a firmware update, couldn't sign in from an app (I had to go to the actual PSN icon to sign in), hit sign in, it told me my password was invalid and that it would send an e-mail to my address on how to update my password, I have received no e-mail, and cannot sign into the PSN site.

Good work, Sony.

UPDATE: Finally got my password reset e-mail, the link (which expires in 24 hours) takes you to a site that is down for maintenance. Double good work Sony.

Just two days after the PlayStation Network was restored after a near month-long outage, the PSN password page has apparently been exploited. According to reports, the exploit allows other users to reset your account password using only your e-mail address and date of birth.
[...]
Followed soon after by "Clarification: this maintenance doesn't affect PSN on consoles, only the website you click through to from the password change email."

Nyleveia claims to have contacted SCEE directly after finding the exploit and that the system was taken down roughly 15 minutes after this happened.

It was a url exploit rather than a hack. The "good news" is that it was caught and fixed with no damage done.

That's still a hack. They don't say exactly what it was, but based on the description, I've got $1,000 that says it was a (probably blind) SQL injection attack using GET vars in the URL. They probably (foolishly) relied on a web form to construct the URL, and didn't bother to sanitize the input. No damage may have been done, but it's quite disconcerting. That is a very old, very common form of attack, and it doesn't speak well of their web guys' competence that they let something of that particular nature slip through auditing, especially under the circumstances surrounding it. They're very lucky that a white/grey hat found it first.

I was just going by:

"We temporarily took down the PSN and Qriocity password reset page. Contrary to some reports, there was no hack involved. In the process of resetting of passwords there was a URL exploit that we have subsequently fixed."

Looks like they're giving away more stuff for the PSN as well (sorry if these details have already been already posted):

Well, I logged on, did the update, changed my password.


Still not sure how to get this welcome back package.

I'd really like to try super startdust hd, wipeout hd, or maybe little big planet.

Nev, I think it's when the Station Store is back. I haven't checked, myself.

My bank sent me a new debit card. I'm wondering if they aren't covering all their bases and reissuing to everyone who has had an active card valid with Sony. Same bank did the same thing for Grouse.

I'm debating the idea of getting a prepayed card just to do these kind of transactions with. Then I can push over the funds I need each month. If it get's nipped then I'm not out very much right?

I know at one point, Discover and some Visas were toying with the idea of giving you temporary codes for each transaction online. Personally, other than entire identity theft, I just watch my statements. Any erroneous charges you report and they will remove. As of right now, I am not responsible for a single cent of charges that I did not make on a credit card. (However, debit cards are a different story, and depend on your user agreement with your bank). One of the few benefits to having a credit card.

Sony is giving a year of identity theft protection to all subscribers. Just got an e-mail.

PSN wasn't hacked this time. Someone got hold of a batch of usernames/passwords from elsewhere and tried them in mass numbers on PSN to see if anyone used the same passwords.

Same thing has been happening with Xbox Live, Blizzard accounts, etc and there's nothing they can really do about it except encourage everyone to use different passwords for each account/site you have.

Didn't they disable a bunch of accounts as a 'preventative' measure?

Only until they change their passwords. Really, I wish a lot more services would do that.

And look ...

Six months later, Coren is once again a Sony apologist.

Google also did this a few months ago when it found 60k emails were on a list being passed around.

And once again you have nothing worth contributing. This is not an issue that is on Sony's end (or Microsoft, Google, Blizzard, or anyone else this has been happening to lately.)

And last time you called me a Sony apologist was for nothing more than saying they got hacked...guess who was right about that one?

Well I thought this was a crazy claim as an apology for Sony:

I posted the source for that though...it wasn't my claim.

Except for the fact that ...

Blizzard has been disabling compromised and questionable accounts preemptively since the Diablo 1 days.

That Trion and Blizzard both have more manners of securing their networks than Sony; and both of them have in place the things Sony doesn't want to add (2 step authentication, non-digital resolution and verification paths for ownership ...).

That Microsoft didn't give up the entire identities of 60 million users earlier this year ...

That you're still defending Sony despite the horrid nature of their EULA and their demonstrably BAD network security.

And none of that is relevant to the fact that I've been called a Sony apologist on 2 occasions in this thread:

1) After I said Sony got hacked...when it turned out they got hacked.

then

2) After I said Sony didn't get hacked, when they didn't get hacked.

It's amusing. And nothing in your response even tries to dispute what I've said.
