    The rumor is that some hackers discovered how to turn the machine on in development mode, and found that Sony wasn't verifying the actions of users in dev-mode. Allegedly, they started pirating everything in the Sony store (by sending fake CC numbers in place of a real one), and Sony was afraid that the access they already had (they were in a secured network) would allow them to retrieve CC numbers and other user information. They shut it down as a preventative measure to stop it from getting worse, and are rebuilding the servers now.

    He is not. Anonymous has already denied these attacks, but it's possible someone who isn't in the core group is responsible.

    GeoHot did share his hack online before he got caught. But GeoHot somehow got an agreement with Sony so I would suppose Geo is helping to bring the servers back up.

    anon didnt do it...there was a firmware hack where you could download psn games for free without paying....the only way for sony to prevent this was to completely rebuild a whole new network, which will take some time...sony is dropping the ball though in terms of updating consumers

    Geo's exploit is unrelated to this incident. Geo doesn't work for them.

    You can download psn games for free by simply friending someone who has whatever psn game you want.

    Sony doesn't care about that. They did this because they have to patch holes in their network. Simple stuff, really.

    Fuk'in hackers! Screwing it up for everybody! It never fails, you get a company who's putting out great games and technology to help make our miserable lives a little more enjoyable, and some assholes have to fuk it up by hacking into it! This is serious shit, check your credit report and make sure you're monitoring it, if you have a CC number on file with sony. Your identity and personal information could be stolen or compromised because of this bullshit!

    My 360 f**ked me up the red ring about 2 months after the warranty expired so they wouldnt replace it, so I bought a PS3 - so far not had any issues, and luckily rarely play it online so this lot hasnt affected me too much.

    Though I did hear rumours that CC information "may" have been stolen - hoping this is just paranoia, but will be keeping a close eye on my bank details !

    When Sony themselves say passwords and "other stuff" was taken, you can bet CC info was included in the other stuff.

    Haha, yeah. They just didn't want to say CC info because this was a much more round about way of saying it.
