PSN "bucato" dagli hacker [UPDATE: riparte il PSN in Giappone]

[maxam]

Vabbe, hanno dimostrato di non meritare fiducia. Appena lo ripristinano tolgo la carta di credito e non mi rivedranno fino a che non avrò una carta a consumo.

Io sul PSN uso la Postepay.

In esclusiva siamo riusciti ad ottenere una rarissima foto del responsabile della sicurezza informatica SCE intento a risolvere il "problema".


No ragà seriamente: non so voi ma a me sta frase pare allucinante (we have) Engaged an outside, recognized security firm to conduct a full and complete investigation into what happened, cioè mettono in piedi una struttura online senza nemmeno avere all'interno personale in grado di gestire ed analizzare l'accaduto!? :doubt2:

Ma se non riescono a prevedere gli anni bisestili, vuoi che riescano a mettere in piedi una struttura seria per l'online? Facile che non abbiano criptato nulla in quei server...

[Turrican3]

Q: Are you working with law enforcement on this matter?
    A: Yes, we are currently working with law enforcement on this matter as well as a recognized technology security firm to conduct a complete investigation. This malicious attack against our system and against our customers is a criminal act and we are proceeding aggressively to find those responsible.

    Q: Was my personal data encrypted?
    A: All of the data was protected, and access was restricted both physically and through the perimeter and security of the network. The entire credit card table was encrypted and we have no evidence that credit card data was taken. The personal data table, which is a separate data set, was not encrypted, but was, of course, behind a very sophisticated security system that was breached in a malicious attack.

    Q: Was my credit card data taken?
    A: While all credit card information stored in our systems is encrypted and 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. Keep in mind, however that your credit card security code (sometimes called a CVC or CSC number) has not been obtained because we never requested it from anyone who has joined the PlayStation Network or Qriocity, and is therefore not stored anywhere in our system.

    Q: What steps should I take at this point to help protect my personal data?
    A: 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.

    Q: What if I don’t know which credit card I’ve got attached to my PlayStation Network account?
    A: If you’ve added funds to your PlayStation Network wallet in the past, you should have received a confirmation email from “DoNotReply@ac.playstation.net” at the email address associated with your account. This email would have been sent to you immediately after you added the funds, and will contain the first 4 digits and last 4 digits of your credit card number. You can also check your previous credit card statements to determine which card was attached to your PlayStation Network or Qriocity accounts.

    Q: When or how can I change my PlayStation Network password?
    A: We are working on a new system software update that will require all users to change their password once PlayStation Network is restored. We will provide more details about the new update shortly.

    Q: Have all PlayStation Network and Qriocity users been notified of the situation?
    A: In addition to alerting the media and posting information about it on this blog, we have also been sending emails directly to all 77 million registered accounts. It takes a bit of time to send that many emails, and recognize that not every email will still be active, but this process has been underway since yesterday. At this time, the majority of emails have been sent and we anticipate that all registered accounts will have received notifications by April 28th. Consumers may also visit www.us.playstation.com/support and www.qriocity.com for notices regarding this issue. In addition, we have taken steps to disseminate information regarding this issue to media outlets so that consumers are informed.

    Q: What steps is Sony taking to protect my personal data in the future?
    A: We’ve taken several immediate steps to add protections for your personal data. First, we temporarily turned off PlayStation Network and Qriocity services and, second, we are enhancing security and strengthening our network infrastructure. Moving forward, we are initiating several measures that will significantly enhance all aspects of PlayStation Network’s security and your personal data, including moving our network infrastructure and data center to a new, more secure location, which is already underway. We will provide additional information on these measures shortly.

    Q: Has Sony identified the party or parties responsible for the PlayStation Network hack and subsequent theft of personal information?
    A: We are currently conducting a thorough investigation of the situation and are working closely with a recognized technology security firm and law enforcement in order to find those responsible for this criminal act no matter where in the world they might be located.

    Q: When will the PlayStation Network and Qriocity be back online?
    A: Our employees have been working day and night to restore operations as quickly as possible, and we expect to have some services up and running within a week from yesterday. However, we want to be very clear that we will only restore operations when we are confident that the network is secure.

Q&A #1 for PlayStation Network and Qriocity Services

Aggiornamento della situazione con una nuova Q&A postata.

Ancora nessuna previsione riguardo la piena ripresa della funzionalità del PSN, per quel che concerne l'account, Sony sta lavorando su un aggiornamento del firmware che renderà obbligatorio il cambio della password al primo tentativo di login una volta che l'infrastruttura di rete verrà ripristinata.

[FabioKaka]

quindi bisognerà cambiare la pass??

[Giulo75]

Va' che roba...

[Giulo75]

"Non sono pazzo, preferisco non avere l'FBI alla mia porta. Far girare software homebrew ed esplorare la sicurezza è bello, entrare nel server di altri e rubare un database con le informazioni degli utenti non lo è. Si mette la comunità hacker in cattiva luce, persino se si attacca un'azienda di imbecilli come Sony".

La credibilità di Sony era in lenta discesa. Un po' in tutti  i settori, aggiungerei.
Credo che ora sia arrivata al suo minimo storico.
Farsi hackerare così il PSN è roba da veri dilettanti. Non ci sono altre parole.
E la loro mail di scuse se la possono infilare la dove non batte il sole.

SOME PLAYSTATION®NETWORK AND QRIOCITY™ SERVICES TO BE AVAILABLE THIS WEEK
Phased Global Rollout of Services to Begin Regionally;
System Security Enhanced to Provide Greater Protection of Personal Information

Tokyo, May 1, 2011 – Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) and Sony Network Entertainment International (SNEI, the company) announced they will shortly begin a phased restoration by region of PlayStation®Network and Qriocity™ services, beginning with gaming, music and video services to be turned on. The company also announced both a series of immediate steps to enhance security across the network and a new customer appreciation program to thank its customers for their patience and loyalty.

Following a criminal cyber-attack on the company's data-center located in San Diego, California, U.S.A., SNEI quickly turned off the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services, engaged multiple expert information security firms over the course of several days and conducted an extensive audit of the system. Since then, the company has implemented a variety of new security measures to provide greater protection of personal information. SNEI and its third-party experts have conducted extensive tests to verify the security strength of the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services. With these measures in place, SCE and SNEI plan to start a phased rollout by region of the services shortly. The initial phase of the rollout will include, but is not limited to, the following:

    * Restoration of Online game-play across the PlayStation®3 (PS3) and PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) systems
      -This includes titles requiring online verification and downloaded games
    * Access to Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity for PS3/PSP for existing subscribers
    * Access to account management and password reset
    * Access to download un-expired Movie Rentals on PS3, PSP and MediaGo
    * PlayStation®Home
    * Friends List
    * Chat Functionality

Working closely with several outside security firms, the company has implemented significant security measures to further detect unauthorized activity and provide consumers with greater protection of their personal information. The company is also creating the position of Chief Information Security Officer, directly reporting to Shinji Hasejima, Chief Information Officer of Sony Corporation, to add a new position of expertise in and accountability for customer data protection and supplement existing information security personnel. The new security measures implemented include, but are not limited to, the following:

    * Added automated software monitoring and configuration management to help defend against new attacks
    * Enhanced levels of data protection and encryption
    * Enhanced ability to detect software intrusions within the network, unauthorized access and unusual activity patterns
    * Implementation of additional firewalls

The company also expedited an already planned move of the system to a new data center in a different location that has been under construction and development for several months. In addition, PS3 will have a forced system software update that will require all registered PlayStation Network users to change their account passwords before being able to sign into the service. As an added layer of security, that password can only be changed on the same PS3 in which that account was activated, or through validated email confirmation, a critical step to help further protect customer data.

The company is conducting a thorough and on-going investigation and working with law enforcement to track down and prosecute those responsible for the illegal intrusion.

"This criminal act against our network had a significant impact not only on our consumers, but our entire industry. These illegal attacks obviously highlight the widespread problem with cyber-security. We take the security of our consumers' information very seriously and are committed to helping our consumers protect their personal data. In addition, the organization has worked around the clock to bring these services back online, and are doing so only after we had verified increased levels of security across our networks," said Kazuo Hirai, Executive Deputy President, Sony Corporation. "Our global audience of PlayStation Network and Qriocity consumers was disrupted. We have learned lessons along the way about the valued relationship with our consumers, and to that end, we will be launching a customer appreciation program for registered consumers as a way of expressing our gratitude for their loyalty during this network downtime, as we work even harder to restore and regain their trust in us and our services."

Complimentary Offering and "Welcome Back" Appreciation Program
While there is no evidence at this time that credit card data was taken, the company is committed to helping its customers protect their personal data and will provide a complimentary offering to assist users in enrolling in identity theft protection services and/or similar programs. The implementation will be at a local level and further details will be made available shortly in each region.

The company will also rollout the PlayStation Network and Qriocity "Welcome Back" program, to be offered worldwide, which will be tailored to specific markets to provide our consumers with a selection of service options and premium content as an expression of the company's appreciation for their patience, support and continued loyalty.

Central components of the "Welcome Back" program will include:

    * Each territory will be offering selected PlayStation entertainment content for free download. Specific details of this content will be announced in each region soon.
    * All existing PlayStation Network customers will be provided with 30 days free membership in the PlayStation Plus premium service. Current members of PlayStation Plus will receive 30 days free service.
    * Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity subscribers (in countries where the service is available) will receive 30 days free service.

Additional "Welcome Back" entertainment and service offerings will be rolled out over the coming weeks as the company returns the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services to the quality standard users have grown to enjoy and strive to exceed those exceptions.

SNEI will continue to reinforce and verify security for transactions before resuming the PlayStation®Store and other Qriocity operations, scheduled for this month.

Sono dei pagliacci.

[Turrican3]

Eh, tra questa e la firma digitale "impenetrabile" di PS3 l'han veramente fatta grossa IMHO sul fronte della sicurezza.

Tra parentesi, il discorso sui dati delle carte di credito criptati non credo regga al 100%.
Qua il problema è che non si sa nemmeno se questi dati gli hacker se li siano presi... e se li hanno presi la questione diventa semplicemente SE gli interessano o meno, in quanto dubito esista un encoding totalmente sicuro da non poter essere "aperto" per tentativi, cosa che con le risorse computazionali disponibili al giorno d'oggi è pure relativamente economica.
