what's up everyone jon rettinger from technobuffalo here and i have crazy hair I didn't plan on showing my face hole on camera today but his whole stuff about Sony network user information being hacked I felt like I had to talk to you guys and at least let you know what is going on if you are a playstation network user and you haven't been online all day you need to launch this video I am getting this information from TechnoBuffalo via the PlayStation Blog the playstation network has been down since the middle of last week you can sort of read along with me the result of the outage as users were being notified on saturday was a rebuild the network security in the light of an unwanted external intrusion so you figured that okay maybe people are trying to hack sony i wouldn't necessarily think that they were getting in now sony is sort of come forth and given the honest answer to what's been going on you got to figure if they didn't come out and say it this is going to come out anyway so according to sony and this is an exact quote i am reading threat here we believe that an unauthorized person has obtained the following information that you provided name address so including your city state and zip country email birth date playstation network / curiosity password and login and handle PSN online ID it's also possible at your profile data including purchase history billing address city state and zip and your PlayStation Network curiosity password security answers may have been obtained if you have an authorized sub account for your dependent the same data which respects your dependent may have been obtained so if you're a parent and you've acts put your kids on your account their information is also going to be in there and concerning credit card data sony has a few more gems for you while there is no evidence at this time that any credit card data was taken we can't rule out the possibility if you provided your credit card data through the playstation network or curiosity and curiosity is there online music and content network out of an abundance of caution we're advising that your credit card number excluding security code and expiration date may have been obtained so that's pretty sony sang well maybe we took your stuff or maybe somebody got your stuff we're not sure sorry head tilt um so they should be finished with their work on the PSN network and have it online within the week the lack of being able to game online on your playstation 3 is so minor compared to the bigger problem here for those that have lost a personal information or may be subject to identity theft and credit-card fraud the news is that the PSN will be up by which conclusion is likely less than warming so that is very true it's advice early go in and do whatever password changing you can if you can't go in and change your Sony password you use that same password for another system so if your email address or YouTube whatever it might be change all the passwords you can even though not associated with Sony that's just a good rule of thumb hacking unfortunately as a reality of digital world but what you can do is take the best precautions to prevent your information from falling into the wrong hands and ultimately we end up trusting companies like Sony Amazon Apple Microsoft remember it might be they give you information to keep that stuff secure and occasionally it does get out especially in giant huge ways like it has right now so were you guys affected by this where you're not affected I certainly was affected I've got a ps3 and I use the PSN and I'm super happy that all my information is out there what do you guys think sort of want to hear your thoughts quite upset about that especially for people and monitor their credit very closely and those don't wanna their credit very closely if you're going to ruin your own credit you want to be the one that ruined your credit you don't want someone else to do it for you want to hear just your general thoughts on this guy's i'm jon rettinger from TechnoBuffalo I'll see in the next video
