well shit..

Anonymous claims it broke into the PlayStation Network and has a 50 gigabyte database of email accounts and their passwords. Ten million accounts "are at risk," says the hacker involved. The passwords appear to be encrypted, and many of the accounts published in this document appear to be from northern Europe. This still would be a great time to double-check your password security.



Kotaku has contacted Sony for comment and will update as the situation progresses.
Think outside the box.

I am a man with no name, I'm the man behind Anonymous, hence "master & card visa takedown in 2010"

FBI, will you seize the innocent doors,or a devil behind that door whos staring right at'cha?

I got no twitter,facebook, neither I go in IRC.. if someone takes credit for this pwnage, he's a faggot.


What's the target?...It's SONY, MOTHERFUCKER.

Contact me at xx for the full database, which is 50GB, fuck.

About 10 million fuckers at risk. Yes, if you play playstatio network, you're included<3

Possibly a false alarm but better to be safe.

    I have heard that it is now unplayable in countries which do not support handful of third world countries not recognized by Sony like Pakistan. Steam is a true global platform.Then they cry that console gaming is dying.

    Alan wake 2 is yet to recover it's development costs. Due to no physical release and no steam launch.
    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
