Angriff auf Sony-Netzwerk: möglicher Datengau?
03.05.2011 um 09:44So, jetzt haben sie auch noch Sony Online Entertainment gehackt. Die Server über die unter Anderem auch die Konten für DC Universe Online liegen.
Hier wurden 22 Millionen Daten diesmal 13000 davon sicher inklusive KK Daten geleaked.
Sony selbst sagen dass sie Anonymus von der Liste der verdächtigen gestrichen haben:http://www.ps3hax.net/2011/05/sony-it-wasnt-anonymous/
Hier auch ein paar nette Ausführungen über Sony's ach so tolles PSN+ Angebot:
Hier mal ein netter Ablauf des Angriffes:
Und eine Liste wie viele Accounts pro Land betroffen sind:
Außerdem zum Gemunkel so viel:
Man hat rausgefunden dass kurz vorher über 200 Mitarbeiter mit eine 2 Wochen Frist entlassen wurden. Diejenigen hätten ganz viel Zeit für einen Inside-Job gehabt. Aber alles reine Spekulation.

Just to make it clear tonight, the final question asked at the PSN press conference dealt directly with the subject of Anonymous.Quelle:
A Japanese reporter asked what involvement, if any, this infamous group had with the latest PSN intrusions.
Kaz Hirai, Sony’s EDP and Ridge Racer‘s #1 fan responded stating that “Anonymous has not been implicated in any way with the current attacks.”
Anonymous themselves (whoever they are) have also denied any involvement in the recent attacks. Does this rule them out completely? Of course not, but it’s safe to say someone else was likely responsible.
Sony is currently working with the FBI and Department of Homeland security to find out who is responsible for the intrusion, but so far they have no reason to implicate Anonymous.
Hier auch ein paar nette Ausführungen über Sony's ach so tolles PSN+ Angebot:
While an offer of 30 days free PS+ itself is a nice gesture, are sony about to make the mother of all screw ups under the veil of compensation?Quelle: http://www.ps3hax.net/2011/05/dont-be-fooled-by-sonys-so-called-offer-of-compensation/ (Archiv-Version vom 05.05.2011)
Lets think about this for a minute, PS+ allows its subscribers to gain PS+ exclusives, and free content on a monthly basis. When you subscribe to PS+, it is made clear that any content downloaded that is PS+ exclusive may be subject to expiration at the end of the PS+ subs period, unless that subs is renewed (basically you lose the content unless you renew the subs in time).
Sony have stated that it will be offering Sony exclusives as compensation for the recent PSN downtime. Does this mean sony are about to rip its users off yet again? Combine this with the 30 days free ps+ offer and what do you get? A big compensation trick to fool you into effectivly trialling the service, and to tempt you into subscribing for a longer period.
Theres also those users that will use the online saves feature ps+ offers, will those users be able to grab their saves, after the 30 days free has expired? No they will not, they will have to subscribe again to PS+ withing 60 days to be able to obtain their own content. Nice.
All in all, it seems sony have some dirty tactics at play here… and maybe this offer should actually be avoided at all costs.

According to online reports, Sony had fired ~200 employees from SOE a few days before the PSN massive attack which led to the compromise of user personal information. A 2 week notice was handed out on March 31st, 2011 which gave whomever enough time to think, plan and act on the PSN attack – and would have all the clearance to easily to do it . Whats even worse is that if it DID turn out to be a inside job then the ex-employee could potentially have the tools to un-hash the stolen passwords and possibly even have the tools/resources to decrypt the important information such as your credit card numbers.Quelle: http://www.ps3hax.net/2011/05/psn-and-soe-attacks-an-inside-job/ (Archiv-Version vom 05.05.2011)
