Hackers may have accessed Sony PlayStation network

[OhioChick]

Some users of the Sony PlayStation network may have had their passwords changed and personal information exposed through unauthorized access, the gaming platform provider has disclosed.

The restricted access may have occurred through a vulnerability in the PlayStation Store, a content download service of the PlayStation Network, according to a company statement on Wednesday. Changing the passwords makes it “possible to view users' personal information and/or use the Wallet for the PlayStation Store.”

The company said it was unlikely that credit card numbers were compromised.

PlayStation said the bug has been patched and the company is contacting users whose information may have been accessed. If a user's regular password works, that information was not affected, the statement said.

The possible breach is a sign of how the value of gaming accounts has increased, Ben Greenbaum, senior manager of Symantec Security Response, said.

SAIL ON
The Commodores

Sail on down the line
Bout a half a mile or so
And a don't really wanna know a
Where you're goin
Maybe once or twice you see
Time after time I tried-a to,
To hold on to what we got
But a now you're goin
And I don't mind
About the things you're gonna say Lord
I gave all my money, and my time
I know it's a shame
But I'm givin you back your name
Yeah, yeah.
Yes I'll be on my way
I won't be back to stay
I guess I'll move along
I'm lookin for a good time.
Sail on down the line,
Ain't it funny how time can gon on-a
friends say they told me so,
But it doesn't matter.
It was plain to see that a small town boy like me
Just-a wasn't your cup of tea,
It was wishful thinkin.
I gave you my heart and I tried to make you happy,
And you gave me nothin in return.
You know, it ain't so hard to say,
Would you please just go away.
Yeah, yeah.
I've thrown away the blue
I'm tired of being used,
I want everyone to know
I'm lookin for a good time.
Good time, yeah.

Good times never felt so good.
Sail on sugar,
Good times never felt so goo.
