Everything thing, good a bad, must come to end. And karma bites like dogs teeth laden with rabies. Yes indeed, Britain’s Scotland Yard has arrested a hacker associated with LulzSec on the Shetland Islands off the coast of Scotland, according to a statement on the force’s site.
There are smart people, and then there are geniuses. A Sonic fan has messed around a bit with the files on the Sonic Generation demo released yesterday, and was able to unlock all the game’s information, including DLC, stages, bosses etc.
Bioware’s confirmed that 18,000 of its user accounts have been the victim a yet another hack attack that’s been plaguing the gaming industry recently, this time through an old Neverwinter Nights forums.
While Lulz Sec has set its sights on the gaming industry, hacking Sony, Nintendo, Bethesda, Minecraft, Eve Online and League Of Legends in the span of two weeks, the group that started the trend is saying goodbye to hacking companies in the gaming industry and has set its sights on the Federal Reserve and its boss Ben Bernanke.
Bethesda’s just confirmed that hackers have managed to breach its websites, stealing personal data belonging to users. The Brink stats site was also breached.
Nintendo of America announced over the weekend that its servers suffered an attack by hackers, however no data was stolen.
He also said: “They just like seeing things destroyed.”
A house divided cannot stand, and the divided group known as Anonymous is crumbling from within.
It’s official, these hackers don’t give a crap about us, the gamers. Word has hit the internet via CNET that a new group of hackers are planning a third hit against Sony because, according to the group, it didn’t like the way the firm handled the PlayStation Network breach.
What?
Things have just taken a rather drastic turn, guys, as Sony recently told congress in a hearing that they found a file on one of their servers named “Anonymous”, with the message “We Are Legion” attached to it.
Sony’s messed up in the biggest way possible when a hacker cracked the PlayStation Network and took over 75 million people’s information, including first and last name, date of birth, address etc., – we’re not even sure if our credit card information is safe. It’s a catastrophe of deafening proportions, can Sony recover?
It’s time to talk, do it here, The Official Gamesthirst Talk Zone.
Before the hardware giant can breathe, the first lawsuit resulting from the massive PSN security breach has been filed, with the plaintiff asking for monetary compensation, and around the clock credit card monitoring.
Sony’s suffered its most damaging blow ever when it announced last night that the PlayStation Network had been severely breached, and that all users information, including credit card info were at risk. So the company’s rebuilding the network from the ground up to make it impenetrable, but apart from that, a representative said to expect a massive update once PSN gets back online, and the features that will be implemented will certainly make many a disgruntled customer happy.
Whilst gamers are reasonable perturbed at Sony for only now telling them that their personal information had been stolen by a hacker after learning of an intrusion almost a week ago, the company now says it only learned about the severity of the attack on Monday, and subsequently informed its customers with an update the following day.
It’s official, all our information stored on PSN might be in the hands of hackers at the moment, who are probably having a field day with it, and In the light of all the bad press Sony’s fielding because of this, news is now breaking concerning the company’s stock, which, understandably, has taken a steep dive.
