PSN Up, And Then Down Again

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the go-go-magic-yo-yo dept.

RdeCourtney writes "The PlayStation Network is down again. Sony had originally enabled passwords to be reset onscreen simply by entering an email address and date of birth. Whoever has the data from Sony, could, in theory, then reset any of the captured users accounts simply by entering the details they stole."

    I'm sure one day Sony will be brought down by /. posters.

    Well, there are a lot of Anonymous here but unfortunately they're all cowards.

    You're supposed to say "I'm going to get modded to oblivion for this". You'll end up getting +5.

    I think I'll get modded to oblivion for this reply now.
