I think the implication is that a packet of post-it notes is his alternative password remembering system

Surely sensitive data like passwords and password hints should be stored in MD5 hash format? So stealing that data becomes useless (unless one has a shitlol amount of pooter power to break the hash).

77 million PSN users worldwide. Dunno, a 1/4 of them in Europe? Someone do the maths. That's a substantial fine.

I can't tell if you're trolling or not. :/

Just using MD5 is only a step above plain text. It's not recommended. Use a more powerful algorithm, along with secret and per-user salts.

Keepass. It keeps everything in an encrypted file on your computer, so at least they're not on someone else's server.

No, I wasn't trolling, and the principle still stands: there are readily amenable methods to secure sensitive data held within a database, MD5 (+salt) is only one example. It souldn't be beyond the wit of Sony to have done so.

Gotcha! I thought that's what he meant but wasn't sure. I'd need a pile of post it notes to keep all my passwords!

I miss CRTs with nice thick bevels. They were perfect for storing password post-its on.

I like the trick where people put them under their keyboards.

 

With the complexity of what a password should be these days it takes special software to remember them!

No, it was a bit boring TBH. Could you be a sweetheart and summarise the highlight(s)?

A good read and something I already do.

 

I feel a bit at risk that I use one password for pretty much everything but by going off their reasoning I have a very secure password. Two unrelated words and two numbers (probably shouldn't say that on a public forum). As it happens I was generated this password by Yahoo years ago.

Looks like the Information Commissioner's Office have already been in contact with Sony, according to Eurogamer:

Keep Ass (giggle)
I'm trying it now, seems ok. Don't mind it being stored somewhere online, one less thing for me to worry about. Until it's stolen and someone has a way of getting to in, which is when it becomes many more things for me to worry about. I like living life on the edge y'see.

I read today that they are saying they encrypted the CC information but not your personal info, like contact info. Who knows if they are telling the truth or not though.

I was the victim of credit card fraud the other day. Card was used on Netflix. Coincidence?
