Don't quote me, I heard it from a friend.

If the attacker was ever caught he would most likely be thrown in jail. No matter how badly sony wanted him to do something, he preformed a criminal act.

I'm sure sony can figure out how to cover their holes "after" they get breached on their own.

Yeah, something like this puts you in jail when caught.

DotKritic · 04-27-2011, 03:55 PM

Still haven't found out who did it?

**phe0nixblade** · 04-27-2011, 04:09 PM

What further proves to me that Virus is retarded is that when I re-read his post about xbox live being down in 2010 he said the reason of it being down was because of halo 3 coming out... in 2010... lmfao wat

**TwilightPrincess** · 04-27-2011, 05:00 PM

So, Sony went and got sued...

From what I've heard, they took down the network because of custom DEV firmware being distributed to Sony users. They were installing it on their PS3's, putting in fake credit card information, and purchasing a ton of stuff.

They took it down to contain the firmware or something like that i believe.

Not confirmed, just heard from a source (xJawz) one of his newest videos describes what he heard, and it sounds somewhat legit.

**TwilightPrincess** · 04-27-2011, 05:16 PM

I'd love to hear more on that theory. +1 for possibility of this being a big pile of bs.

The custom firmware was call Rebug, a custom firmware design to enabled many of the debugging features on the PS3. Users noticed that after then change the PSN type from retail to dev, the Shop no longer verified the info as normal users don't have access to this network anyway. It's designed like that so devs and press can download the software without having to pay.

So yes, this much is true. Rebug also allows users on older firmwares to access PSN through the Dev network as the version check was also not used there.

Basically, Sony's security department has a lot on its plate lately.

Brilliant deduction there, detective.

**virus003** · 04-27-2011, 07:43 PM

hey dorby its time for u to shut up

Anyways, I really hope the fact that Sony gets sued doesn't change anything major, like charging for online. I just hope the fixes that they make last.

It has emerged that part of Sony's PSN terms and conditions claim that the company is not liable for any loss of user data.

"We exclude all liability for loss of data or unauthorised access to your data, Sony Online Network account or Sony Online Network wallet and for damage caused to your software or hardware as a result of using or accessing Sony Online Network," the terms state.

**Patashu** · 04-28-2011, 03:36 AM

DotKritic · 04-28-2011, 07:47 AM

Looks like people won't be buying Sony again - ever.

The very first post in this thread makes me laugh so hard.

Virus wants to play Black Ops, yet hates it when anyone in the entire world posts a Black Ops video.

Classic lol
