I know, I know. Who would have thought shredding anything which would identify me personally prior to throwing away was just not enough.

 

On a more serious note it's more the inconvenience, not being able to access my cash, and knowing some scrotums have my details. Fair enough if I wasn't careful, but my methods have not failed me since having a bank account.... very suspicious.

Smile (co-op) say they are keeping track of cards registered on PSN but currently don't believe enough information was hacked to put accounts at risk and so are not cancelling any cards at the present time.

Oh dear
Report from PSX-Scene suggest that the unknown hackers even offered to sell the details back to Sony themselves with little luck before offering them up on underground credit card trading forums.

The really disturbing part of this is the news that these details actually include the CCV security code that until now was believed to be safe. With that code married to the card owner’s name as well as the rest of the card details then the card could be used without a hiccup


I would definitely be cancelling cards if I was on the Play Station Network.

If that's true then Sony need to officially notify everyone and stop lying!

What do they mean "believed to be safe"!?

Storing the CV2 code is simply not allowed - not even encrypted.

Yuh? They are utter wallies then.

Utter wallies who wont have a leg to stand on in court.

Merchants who require the CVV2 for "card not present" transactions are forbidden by Visa from storing the CVV2 once the individual transaction is authorized and completed. This way, if a database of transactions is compromised, the CVV2 is not included, and the stolen card numbers are less useful. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) also prohibits the storage of CSC (and other sensitive authorisation data) post transaction authorisation. This applies globally to anyone who stores, processes or transmits card holder data.

Supplying the CSC code in a transaction is intended to verify that the customer has the card in their possession. Knowledge of the code proves that the customer has seen the card, or has seen a record made by somebody who saw the card.

This was posted on Reddit. Seems Sony had a conference about the issue? This is a good run down of what they discussed.

That's good news. I think most PSN users can probably unclench their buttocks now.

Yeah very good news. No one wants that shit to happen to anyone. It's getting to the point where you can't even play games now without worrying!

As far as I know, if anyone actually did get their card details used fraudulently because of Sony or any other reason they would (eventually) get that money back. The company that actually was on the receiving end of the fraudulent transaction however has no come back, they're the ones that would get fucked over.

I have no idea if it's the same here as there, but if you use a Credit Card online the CC company usually works with you and returns your money. If, however, you use a Debit Card your bank doesn't have to do that and sometimes you are SOL. So, here at least, you should always use a CC when paying for stuff online.

I hate abbreviation.

 

I think it is similar here but even in debit cards you can tell your bank you didn't make that transaction and get what they call a Chargeback initiated. Unless it's Chip 'n's Pin.

Sorry. Sol is standard around here!

 

A bank usually does that here but they don't have to.
