The following comments relate to this news article:
article published on 30 April, 2011
According to PSX Scene, PSN user's worst fears have been confirmed, as unknown hackers are now selling a database with 2.2 million credit card numbers to the highest bidder.
The database also includes CCV security numbers (3 or 4 numbers on the back of the card), which means anyone with the numbers and names can purchase online without a hitch.
It appears the hackers first tried to ... [ read the full article ]

Hijacking the thread! The nerve of these people.
When I am upholding forum rules/warnings while clarifying/defending myself from lissenup4, Schmick, you & Jemborg (I don't take lawndog's questioning/replies as an directed attack on me as he wasn't at all) who all of which started this, I believe a little lee-way is acceptable to make things right.

Post #46 right above the first time you asked (post #47) has an estimation in his signature. But there is no confirmed answer to your question so maybe that is why you didn't get a reply.

I havnt had a proper look at the rules in years.common sense usually tells me if something (im about to post) is inappropriate.
lissenup was offending members and personal attacks.he/she tryed to have a go at me in several other topics.honestly not surpised by the ban

I cancelled my card for PSN and my wife cancelled her card for SOE Wasn't a big deal to do that. Problem is that I do sometimes use the same password for different accounts. I hate having to come up with unique passwords for everything so changing a bunch of my passwords and then having to write them down is what really sucked.

Oner, I have to say, YOU have contributed as much or more to hijacking this thread as any of the people you're castigating. Learn to let minor BS drop, howzabouts? If they hate you, fine, LET THEM; you're not going to convince 'em otherwise with an off-topic Wall-O'-Text(tm).
In other words, I think you're being quite oversensitive, which only gives weight to your detractors' comments.[/offtopic]
Contrary to Sony's statements that none of these cards have been known to be used fraudulently yet - in a manner that ties them to the PSN info heist - I've seen several mentions at various news sites (CNN, for one) that several people have already started litigation over exactly that. So, OF COURSE Sony won't admit it, because that would instantly lose those ongoing cases for them. I don't see this as a useful, coming from Sony. Now if the Secret Service/FBI in the US (who actually deal with CC fraud) said the same thing, it'd matter.

When in defense it is not hijacking, it is correcting and making things clear to those who question things not of their responsibility here at Afterdawn. This is not something for those that do not know the whole story, to interject what they think is their place to do so. Those who are not moderators (or involved) do not act as one and mind your business. The situation is, was or will be handled without your input. Thank You.

Some people really know sarcasm when they see it, huh Oner.=}

That's fine, but carrying out your business in public tends to invite comment, you should be aware.

My question is if PS3 online service is free then why would Sony have credit card numbers on their server in the first place?

What the...?
I'm alive, ALIVE! :D
Er, yeah ok Onerous, I hate you personally and not your behaviour which I am always picking on... happy?
I have no opinions on whether PSN sucks or not I have never used it. As far as I'm concerned Xbox LIVE sucks (lags) from an international point of view (not locally)... if you can tolerate the howling infantiles, that is. Maybe that changed as I have not tried it for years. If not, I can't imagine it's any better for PSN in Australia either. And THAT sucks considering we pay twice as much as Septics for games on either platform. We don't even qualify for a reach-around.
And whatever to the rest mate... I got bored and skipped most of it.
Thanks for the congrats... I had no idea young Gus was a Taurus as I pay no attention to superstitious claptrap. I certainly hope it means he's not gonna be full of bull too. :P
EDIT: Please don't answer, I couldn't cope with the tedium!

As a matter of fact, No, I do not own any gaming console which is why I didn't know about classic games and DLC. I was asking a simple question and wasn't looking for any sarcasm from anyone. Sorry if I invaded your space Sir DXR88 Senior Member. :]

I did not bring this out to public. That is where the fault in your comment lies. OTHERS commented about things (just like you are now) about stuff not of their concern, nor business, that needed to be addressed (totally false accusations I might add). I did not have to explain anything. But I chose to do so as to show my side of things that certain people don't seem to want to rationally or reasonably understand as it was not "minor BS" they were serious unfounded false accusations and insults. I don't care who hates me or not. But the moment you speak unfounded/unverifiable lies of me ~ I will check you immediately.

No different from any other service like Amazon, Buy.com, TigerDirect, BestBuy and many thousands of others. Actually DXR88's comment explains another aspect of it as well ~
Originally posted by DXR88:

So while the service if free (PSN) there are items you can or would like to purchase. Hence no different than a purchase online at any webstore.

I will answer to bore you some more ;) and if only to clarify some things to drop this once and for all hopefully.
I did not say YOU have opinions about "PSN sucks" I just used it as an example to show a difference between a personal opinion and false information being upheld as "opinion". Another example ~ Do I think LIVE! sucks? No. Do I think it sucks because of what you described (howling infantiles & lag issues)? Yes, to an extent. But would I be correct in saying my opinion of LIVE! sucks because ALL 360 games have those issues? No I would not be, and that is my reasoning behind the difference of an opinion and a false comment. I hope that is clear enough.
As far as the congrats. You are very welcome, I am sure you want the best for your child in this world and will protect him/do the best for him under any circumstance. I hope/believe he will have the smarts and wit of his father to excel in his future.
If this situation hasn't shown how tolerant (albeit a bit angered) a moderator can be (especially when unjust accusations are wildly thrown out) then I don't know what else there is to say, other than, that we're not here just to ban people for their opinions.
