     "Ha ha. Wait, cards from 2007? Only ha, then."
    Sony's security woes continued yesterday when Sony Online Entertainment announced a security breach at the same facility that housed PlayStation Network's recently compromised database. 

    The MMO developer said the personal information of 24.6 million accounts were exposed, in addition to 12,791 non-US credit or debit numbers with expiration dates--but not security codes. Data compromised included name, address, email address, birth date, gender, phone number, login name, and hashed password. 10,740 direct debit records from Germany, Austria, Netherlands and Spain were also accessed.

    In mildly "positive" news, SOE has revealed this morning that most of those were actually expired cards. Only 900 of the nearly 13,000 exposed were active cards, meaning most consumers are not at risk. The database accessed was reportedly from 2007, explaining how so many of the cards have expired.

    Like PSN, SOE does not believe its main database was or is at risk.

    "There is no evidence that our main credit card database was compromised," reiterated the company in a statement. "It is in a completely separate and secure environment."

    It's been quite a ride when that's considered positive news.

    With PSN still down, PlayStation 3 users are still unable to access SOE titles like DC Universe Online.

    This really isn't that weird as Paypal still has 3 or 4 cards of mine listed that are expired.  Also, so did XBL at one point.

    Yeah...I realized after I went and canceled my card that the last game I bought on PSN was Final Fantasy VII, and that means that they still had my old expiry date. Usually it's not very hard to figure out what the new expiry date is because it's generally either 3, 4 or 5 years after your previous one.

    Even if your expiry date was not updated, it's still not a bad idea to have your card reissued.

    It could be worse than this, but having all your personal information stolen is no picnic. Good thing it was an older database.

    I feel like the next thing I'm going to read about is that if  you ever bought a Sony product that your information is leaked. How do you not prepare for this kind of thing!?

    Well out of "77 million"  users that's only 0.0012% of possible credit cards that could have leaked.

    I should work as a spin doctor for Sony.

    This seams like bad news bears for sony. A lot of people are probably going to be sour over this to the point where they probably won't trust sony's services again. Shame too. No company should have to have this happen to them.

    How did Sony decide if a card has expired? A different CID number would likely have been issued by now, but not definitively...and that doesn't change the basic credit card number.

    The bad news just keeps pouring in from Sony. I'm starting to feel sort of bad for them; they've got an honest mess on their hands, and someone out there just keeps pouring it on faster than they can deal with it.

    Didn't Sony's press release last week say that some PSN services would start coming back online today?  or did they later amend that to sometime this week?

    even after being exposed there's still no reports of actual fraud.

    there's still no way of knowing if the details have been taken.

    Oh shut up. Unless you are a 1 man, top security firm, I think I'll just assume that your another whining prick. Nothing is perfect. Even military body armor can't stop every round. How can you expect it to be any different for cyber security? 900 isn't that bad, especially if the people know about it. If you have a credit card and you don't keep an eye on your account, especially when you've been notified of this kind of event, your just asking for it. It sucks, maybe they could have done better, but that's a tiny number relatively speaking, and it's not like they just gave em out to criminals. Why blame the people who spent 4 years planning a bank heist when you can blame the bank, right?

    Except they were secure. Just separate.
    But hey, feel free to be a big baby about all of this and act like Sony fucked you in the ass with a steel rod. Also, SOE is totally separate from the Playstation division. Sony is so big with so many parts, it's basically a confederation, in business form. Blaming one division for the failing of another is just silly.

    Yeah...not to pile on but this really is such a fiasco. This is just so unacceptable that its not even funny. You have to be either an employee of Sony or have a Sony fanboy tattoo to be defending them at this point. 


    I have only had a couple Xbox 360's for the last several years and thought about getting a PS3 a couple months ago. No way I do it at this point just on principle.

    Sony failed their customers big time and have broken laws/mandates in certain countries.  They deserve everything they get and I think defending them for this is stupendously immature.
    You can call people babies for being upset, but I'm sure you'll feel very differently if you're the victim of identity fraud because of Sony's lax security measures.  Sony don't need you to defend them and you shouldn't be pretending that this isn't a big deal.

    I find it highly amusing that it's only the people with blue usernames (and KaosAngel, who's a Sony fanboy anyway) defending them at this point.
    But please, point me in the direction if this research that I've clearly skipped over, that nulls the fact they've lost my personal details and maybe even my credit card information twice.

    Maybe it's because the people with the blue usernames aren't posting in the first article they see without looking anything else up. I'd be a lot more open to what you had to say if you weren't so rude about it.

    Also, again, research. We still don't have any evidence that the PSN credit card info was even accessed.

    I declare the word "fanboy" to be a variation on Godwin's law, in that someone will always bring it up.

    Their system was compromised!  WE HAVE TO ASSUME THE WORST.  If you do NOT assume the worst, YOU ARE BEING EXTREMELY NAIVE.

    I cancelled my card a while ago.  If you haven't already done so, you should get on that shit.  The alternative could seriously screw up your life.

    I find it highly amusing that it's only the people with blue usernames (and KaosAngel, who's a Sony fanboy anyway) defending them at this point.
    But please, point me in the direction if this research that I've clearly skipped over, that nulls the fact they've lost my personal details and maybe even my credit card information twice.

    Maybe it's because the people with the blue usernames aren't posting in the first article they see without looking anything else up. I'd be a lot more open to what you had to say if you weren't so rude about it.Also, again, research. We still don't have any evidence that the PSN credit card info was even accessed.I declare the word "fanboy" to be a variation on Godwin's law, in that someone will always bring it up. "

    Thing is, even if the CC data was not stolen, the fact that such data might be available to the hacker made customers like me angry. I have to go through the hassle of changing both of my CC just because their security was breached. If it turns out that the CC data was in fact not touched by the hacker good, still how long do I have to wait before Sony finally opens the mouth and gives me concrete answer weather or not it was stolen? 

    I rather not wait, so I went to the bank and applied for a change for both of my cards which in the end is going to cost me money, not much but still. I rather take the risk of changing them as later going through the process of fraud which takes even longer and what not. 

    Still I can not stress how bad their information is. By now they should know exactly if and what data was stolen and I think it's in their power, to email those accounts that got breached with information "hey your card was compromised", even for the 2007 card, because as someone above mentioned, not every CC number changes when you get a new card. 4  Master Cards already expired for me and all the new cards come with the exact same number, except the CCV is different but that's 3 digits and this means shit anyway regarding security. Same goes for my AMEX. 

    So yeah I'm pretty disappointed in Sony and they have lost my trust for pretty much ever. Not because they got hacked, that can happen to anyone, but because valuable data wasn't encrypted like it should be, even if it's 20 years old, and the way they are handling this regarding customer information is rather disrespectful at best - info should be on my inbox or on their site DAY-1 of the hack.

    Their system was compromised!  WE HAVE TO ASSUME THE WORST.  If you do NOT assume the worst, YOU ARE BEING EXTREMELY NAIVE.

    I cancelled my card a while ago.  If you haven't already done so, you should get on that shit.  The alternative could seriously screw up your life.

    It disturbs me that I thought it was a joke at first. I would prefer waiting until I hear (not just from Sony, mind you) reliable sources telling me that the cards were actually compromised, rather than cancel a card based on something I don't have enough info to make an informed decision based upon.

    Oh, I wasn't denying it. It just pisses me off that it comes up so often. I own every console and I'm still a raging fanboy!

     @FMinus: It pisses me off too that Sony had such poor security. But people have been finding numerous ways that don't even make sense to get angry over this, and it's annoying.

    As long as a company doesn't actively give away your credit card information to criminals they are doing a good job? Wow you really must have low standards for the companies you deal with. I guess you would feel safe to have your valuables in a bank where they store them in an unlocked box in the lobby? I mean they are not giving them away to criminals right? If someone happens to take them the bank can hardly be held responsible in any way right?

    Of course the thieves are to be blamed first and foremost, but any company who stores people's passwords, credit card numbers, personal information etc. have an obligation to safeguard that data.
