Major Lulz Alert......

EXCLUSIVE TRUTH ABOUT SONY. (only on gamersbook.com) — Blogs — Alize Hennessy — Members — Gamersbook

THE TRUTH ABOUT PSN.

Today I called 1-800-345-7669 and had a very interesting conversation with one of the Sony representatives.

I was able to gain his trust within a few minutes into our conversation by just being myself. I wasn't proper, but I also wasn't too outrageous. (At first)

His name was Robert, and he would NOT give me his extension number- when I asked for it at the end of our conversation- . I don't blame him, The **** he told me would for sure get him fired.

It all happened like this:

I drank 7 beers and called Sony, The first 3 times I called, females answered the phone and (after being on hold for a long time) I hung up on all 3 of them.

I had my speech prepared for a man, NOT a woman.

The 4th time I called; a man named: ROBERT answered. The first thing he asked was if I was calling about the PSN being offline. I answered:

"No, I am calling because I am so bored without PSN, that I need someone to talk to"

　

He started laughing and told me PSN would be up as soon as possible and that they were working around the clock to fix it.

I said to him that I already knew that, and that I was calling in hopes of getting a little more than just: "We appreciate your patience"

　

I told him I was a writer and a -down to earth- son of a *****. He asked me what I wrote about. I mentioned I worked for Gamersbook.com and I went over a bit of CALL OF BOOTY and OFF DUTY BLACK COPS.

He started laughing at the titles.

　

　

It didn't take long before I had him cracking jokes back and trying his best to befriend me. I started coughing.. He asked:

"Are you smoking?"

　

I said: "Yes"

　

　

And he was once again laughing.

　

Then, something insane happened.

He asked me for my contact number and said he would call me back. I gave it to him and said to myself: "I'm never going to hear from this fukker again, I know it."

　

Halfway down my 9th beer I received an incoming call from a "Private Number"... I answered.

　

It was Robert. He said he was on his lunch break and wanted to tell me stuff that he couldn't say while at work because they monitor the calls.

Here is the exclusive stuff he told me and I am sure he is reading this now.

　

First of all... Stop checking every 5 minutes if PSN is back on. It won't be back on today.

When I asked when they will bring it up he said it could take another week, but that they are working around the clock to try and make it sooner.

I asked him why Sony doesn't at least give us a window of time frame -NOT EXACT TIME- but just a window..

He said that Sony didn't want to say from the beginning that it could be 2 weeks or more, because once we had that info, and specially during a school holiday week break, That gamers would say they couldn't wait 2 weeks and that they would go buy an Xbox 360.

I asked him if Anonymous was responsible for the outage.

He said NO.

　

Then, he told me something interesting and EXCLUSIVE:

He said that Sony had been planning for a few months now, To re-design their infrastructure and that their only worry was how to bring down the PSN without a warning and still be able to keep their customers. The solution: "To suggest they are as puzzled as WE ARE, and let us blame hackers."

But the truth was that the only hacking involved was that a group found out that you could enter a Fake Credit Card info and that Sony wasn't verifying the cards and so a few users were able to get a bunch of stuff from the Playstation Store for free.

I asked him why they didn't just bring down the store.

He said , Because they were already planning on re-design the whole PSN.

　

He said that nobody's credit card or personal info was compromised, and once again mentioned that the only hacking done was stolen movies and games from PS Store by a small group of users and that someone had posted a video online with instructions on -How to do it-.

So Sony pulled the plug and decided to let us think that Anonymous had done it.

He told me that The hack that stole stuff from PS Store was a custom Firmware nicknamed: "REBUG"

　

　

　

THAT IS THE TRUTH AND YOU'RE HEARING IT FIRST FROM GAMERSBOOK'S ALIZEHENNESSY.

I never saw what all the hype was about with halo. It looks like it is pretty much washed up & other fps games have taken over that aren't necessarily exclusive to a certain system. Such as the cod's, socom, etc. Not sure about the others I mainly play sports games & an occasional fps.

Update on PlayStation Network and Qriocity – PlayStation Blog

Thank you for your patience while we work to resolve the current outage of PlayStation Network & Qriocity services. We are currently working to send a similar message to the one below via email to all of our registered account holders regarding a compromise of personal information as a result of an illegal intrusion on our systems. These malicious actions have also had an impact on your ability to enjoy the services provided by PlayStation Network and Qriocity including online gaming and online access to music, movies, sports and TV shows. We have a clear path to have PlayStation Network and Qriocity systems back online, and expect to restore some services within a week.
We’re working day and night to ensure it is done as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience and feedback.


Valued PlayStation Network/Qriocity Customer:
We have discovered that between April 17 and April 19, 2011, certain PlayStation Network and Qriocity service user account information was compromised in connection with an illegal and unauthorized intrusion into our network. In response to this intrusion, we have:
Temporarily turned off PlayStation Network and Qriocity services;
Engaged an outside, recognized security firm to conduct a full and complete investigation into what happened; and
Quickly taken steps to enhance security and strengthen our network infrastructure by re-building our system to provide you with greater protection of your personal information.
We greatly appreciate your patience, understanding and goodwill as we do whatever it takes to resolve these issues as quickly and efficiently as practicable.
Although we are still investigating the details of this incident, we believe that an unauthorized person has obtained the following information that you provided: name, address (city, state, zip), country, email address, birthdate, PlayStation Network/Qriocity password and login, and handle/PSN online ID. It is also possible that your profile data, including purchase history and billing address (city, state, zip), and your PlayStation Network/Qriocity password security answers may have been obtained. If you have authorized a sub-account for your dependent, the same data with respect to your dependent may have been obtained. While there is no evidence at this time that credit card data was taken, we cannot rule out the possibility. If you have provided your credit card data through PlayStation Network or Qriocity, out of an abundance of caution we are advising you that your credit card number (excluding security code) and expiration date may have been obtained.
For your security, we encourage you to be especially aware of email, telephone, and postal mail scams that ask for personal or sensitive information. Sony will not contact you in any way, including by email, asking for your credit card number, social security number or other personally identifiable information. If you are asked for this information, you can be confident Sony is not the entity asking. When the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services are fully restored, we strongly recommend that you log on and change your password. Additionally, if you use your PlayStation Network or Qriocity user name or password for other unrelated services or accounts, we strongly recommend that you change them, as well.
To protect against possible identity theft or other financial loss, we encourage you to remain vigilant, to review your account statements and to monitor your credit reports. We are providing the following information for those who wish to consider it:
U.S. residents are entitled under U.S. law to one free credit report annually from each of the three major credit bureaus. To order your free credit report, visit www.annualcreditreport.com or call toll-free (877) 322-8228.
We have also provided names and contact information for the three major U.S. credit bureaus below. At no charge, U.S. residents can have these credit bureaus place a “fraud alert” on your file that alerts creditors to take additional steps to verify your identity prior to granting credit in your name. This service can make it more difficult for someone to get credit in your name. Note, however, that because it tells creditors to follow certain procedures to protect you, it also may delay your ability to obtain credit while the agency verifies your identity. As soon as one credit bureau confirms your fraud alert, the others are notified to place fraud alerts on your file. Should you wish to place a fraud alert, or should you have any questions regarding your credit report, please contact any one of the agencies listed below.
Experian: 888-397-3742; www.experian.com; P.O. Box 9532, Allen, TX 75013
Equifax: 800-525-6285; www.equifax.com; P.O. Box 740241, Atlanta, GA 30374-0241
TransUnion: 800-680-7289; www.transunion.com; Fraud Victim Assistance Division, P.O. Box 6790, Fullerton, CA 92834-6790
You may wish to visit the web site of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission at Deter. Detect. Defend. Avoid ID Theft or reach the FTC at 1-877-382-4357 or 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20580 for further information about how to protect yourself from identity theft. Your state Attorney General may also have advice on preventing identity theft, and you should report instances of known or suspected identity theft to law enforcement, your State Attorney General, and the FTC.

Our teams are working around the clock on this, and services will be restored as soon as possible.
