The chaotic mess that we’ve come to know as the PSN meltdown has prompted Richard Blumenthal, the Connecticut senator, to take a stand and reach out to Sony to express just how disappointed he is. I’m sure that they knew they had it coming considering that the opening sentence of his email was as follows: “I am troubled by the failure of Sony to immediately notify affected customers of the breach and to extend adequate financial data security protections.”
That, is most definitely true. Considering that they knew about the breach on the 19th, they could have at least sent out a courtesy email. Regardless of whether it took until 2 days ago for their “experts” to figure out just how far the breach had gone, I would have still liked to receive some sort of alert warning me that my credit card information COULD HAVE been stolen.
I’m curious as to whether anyone has actually been involved in this and lost any money, I’m also curious to see what date it was that the fraudulent transactions were made, just to see how quickly these hackers were be able to work. So how about you find one person who has lost some money due to this, VGL?
Either these hackers were really going after the credit card info or they were just testing the waters to see how far they could get. The need to build “e-rep” is outrageously popular amongst all hackers alike and so maybe this wasn’t because they were out to get your money, but more so to impress their fellow e-friends or to get back at Sony.
What say you?
