PSN security failure - Oops!
LTK:
At least in some countries Sony can still be held accountable. Just because they put it in the terms of conditions doesn't mean that excuses them from the laws that are in effect regarding credit card data protection.
Blue Kitty:
The thing I enjoy most about this is Gawker's ability to call them on this
est:
I gather that it's akin to a sign stating that the store will not perform any kind of refund or exchange. Sure, you can put it there if you want. Doesn't mean shit when the law clearly states that the store has to give refunds or exchange items under certain circumstances.
Odin:
It's a shitty thing, but clearly the best way to counter this on the consumer level is for everyone to submit Fraud Alerts with Experian (Click here, then click "Add an Initial Security Alert"), who will then alert the other Credit reporting agencies, then request new cards with new numbers from whichever credit card company they used with their PSN account.
Whether to ever use PSN again is up to everyone else, but I used Bank of America's ShopSafe program anyway (bank issues a "fake" credit card number, expiration and spending limit for you to associate with a vendor, you don't have to worry about this type of fraud) so I'm good.
Gaelbert:
I heard a rumour that Interpol is taking over the investigation of this now. If Paul Banks catches who did this, they'll be locked away for a long, long time.
