Damn, I've been foiled again by AD mods. I guess calling them out on their lame, unobjective comments merits banning. Oh well.....on to the 14th attempt.
Ok.......so anyone with a CC on the PSN should simply cancel their card or suspend it or at the very least, put a fraud alert on it. To anything to the contrary would indicate moron behavior.

How would it be possible for them to sell it to anyone for so much?? I'm sure it not possible to do that without getting traced back to the source.

Let's just say you're not the first person Oner has banned on a power trip while defending the actions of Sony. Posts have been deleted, but he was in part responsible for the ban on comments on gaming news a while back because he is incapable of being impartial as a moderator.

Just sayin. I've no problem at all with your moderation style, I just don't think he should be moderating anything to do with Sony where he is an active, passionate participant in the discussion. If he wants to demonstrate some integrity, he should either remain impartial and refrain from comment as you commendably have, or leave the moderation for someone like yourself if he has an opinion to share.

You act like them "selling it back to sony" would have done anything. What prevents them from copying it? Let me put it this way...if you could make double your money easily would you give the list back? If you said yes, you are obviously not a smart person. If you said no the you understand how they were thinking and Sony wasn't buying the scam.

I laugh at these news press as how they say and believe that 128 bit encrypted cc numbers are being sold. Now ask yourself this, why would you buy Psn accounts if you know how to decrypt 128 bit files? Why don't they just hack bank accounts? Psn cc numbers is incrypted just like how the bank is. Think about it people. The only thing that your wanting to worry about is identity theft, not your cc number. Sense please please(your head)(let the light bulb brighter)

I agree 100%.

Yes, you know, the ones who are blaming Sony for all of this. They will probably be the same ones looking for something free out of all of this.

not likely. they use your email to do more damage, all it takes is for your email address to show up with "hey dude check out this pic". anyone less technically inclined would open the link. those of us that are tech savy know to always check the source of the link.

hah! you should have seen him go back in the format wars, lost quite a few members to his banning spree's. i don't necessarily like the way Oner handles situations, he lures you in then traps you....he literally reminds me of a fly trap.
to each his own, Oner is no exception to the rule.

According to gamespot.com most vendors don't keep the 3 digit security code so I also doubt that any credit card info will be useful especially since the large financial banking companies such as wells fargo haven't reported any unauthorized use.
