Our hopes were blown completely out of the water when we found out that the hackers weren’t hacking solely for good will, but for actual rewards.
It is said that the hackers who claim to have hacked the PSN are trying to sell the stolen credit card information on message boards. Apparently they have names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, birthdays and COMPLETE credit card info (including the CC number, expiration date AND the security code) for sale.
According to TrendMicro security expert Kevin Stevens, it is said that they tried to sell the information back to Sony but the multimedia giant refused. He also says that 2.2 million credit cards are in the database, people are starting to complain about fraudulent charges all over the internet but there is no proof that they’re tied to the PSN breach.
It's a fake, Credit card security codes were never saved on the network
ReplyDeleteFortunately :) Could you imagine the aftermath if they had indeed been stolen?
