Thread: Epic PS3/Sony ownage

It was actually down again last night, which was kinda LOL-sy.

Speaking to Dow Jones Newswires yesterday, a Japanese government official said the country has not yet allowed Sony to launch PlayStation Network within its borders because of concerns over the security of the service.

"As of May 13, Sony was incomplete in exercising measures that they said they will do on the May 1 press conference," Kazushige Nobutani, Japan's director of media and content in the country's Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry told Dow Jones. The official didn't comment on which Sony's "measures" were lacking.

One could argue the holes were already there.

It just keeps getting better:

While we originally assumed this was a poor hoax designed only to stir the community into another frenzy, the individual who we are in contact with requested just two pieces of information from us: this being an account email and the date of birth used for that account. We promptly created a new account via us.playstation.com and provided the individual with the email address and date of birth used.

Roughly a minute later they requested that we try to login with the password we used for the account (which they did not know at any point), and sure enough, we were presented with an invalid username and/or password prompt.

Yup, because Sony let you reset the password by entering any email address and DoB. Oh, and by the way, the hackers have a whole mess data containing email addresses and DoBs.

Way to go Sony!
