    News via http://psx-scene.com/forums/f6/sony-...trusion-85803/

    This morning, Kaz Hirai, Shinji Hasejima and Shiro Kambe held a pathetic press conference in Japan to discuss the current PSN outage. They might as well have played James Brown's classic song "Talkin' Loud And Saying Nothing" for two hours. Here are the "highlights"

    In a nutshell, they don't know much of anything about the hack. They estimate as many as 10 million users personal data was exposed but now claim there is no proof any credit card data was stolen.

    They are moving the PSN Data Center to a new "more secure" location and created a new position, Chief Information Security Officer, to oversee future security.

    They made a point to say that PSN passwords were not encrypted but were hashed.

    They hope to have some services re-started in a week and full access restored in one month.

    There will be a forced system software update that will require all registered PlayStation Network users to change their account passwords before being able to sign into the service. As an added layer of security, that password can only be changed on the same PS3 in which that account was activated, or through validated email confirmation

    They also recommend changing your password on any sites you may have used the same password as PSN on.

    Affected users will get a free 30-day subscription to PlayStation Plus and an unspecified free software download. Qriocity customers will get an extra 30 days of service.

    They will deal with PlayStation Plus members and the contents of online wallets on a case-by-case basis.

    You can also cancel your account if you wish.

    Many questions were asked about the Anonymous attacks and the possible connection to this case but Sony downplayed Anonymous as a minor annoyance at best.

    This same information was repeated over and over for two hours. Sony apparently thinks the more times you repeat the same information the more it sounds like you know what you are doing. Unfortunately, to everyone else, they looked like The Keystone Cops.

    Sony's US PlayStation blog tonight announced that "some PlayStation Network and Qriocity services" will become available this week as the company scrambles to build a new server home in the wake of asecurity breach earlier this month. Though no specific time or date is named, the post lays out a plan to "begin a phased restoration by region" of services "shortly," alongside a mandatory system update for all consoles forcing a change in password, before the full return of services "within this month."

    With the return of services will also come a new position at Sony Corporation: chief information security officer, a position that will report to current chief information officer Shinji Hasejima. Additionally, the company says it is expediting an "already planned move" of its data center -- a data center the post claims to have been "under construction and development for several months," despite the attacks having only occurred within the past few weeks. Sony also detailed its "Welcome Back" appreciation program a bit more thoroughly, though it still remains unclear what content the company will be offering in various regions as an apology. The list of known services returning to PSN this week are listed after the break.


    • Restoration of Online game-play across the PlayStation®3 (PS3) and PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) systems -This includes titles requiring online verification and downloaded games
    • Access to Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity for PS3/PSP for existing subscribers
    • Access to account management and password reset
    • Access to download un-expired Movie Rentals on PS3, PSP and MediaGo
    • PlayStation®Home
    • Friends List
    • Chat Functionality

    At a Tokyo press conference this morning Sony executives apologised for the PlayStation Network outage that has seen the theft of millions of gamers' personal data - possibly even credit cards.
    Sony revealed its "Welcome Back" programme designed to reward customers affected by the outage.
    Sony will offer "selected PlayStation entertainment content" for free download on a region by region basis. It will announce the content soon.
    All existing PSN customers will get 30 days free membership in the PlayStation Plus service. Existing PS+ customers receive 30 days free. Qriocity subscribers receive 30 days free.
    Sony promised more Welcome Back "entertainment and services" over the coming weeks as PSN is turned back on. Sony reconfirmed the news that some PSN and Qriocity services will be available this week. Sony will first turn back on gaming, music and video services.
    Meanwhile, Sony went into a bit more detail on last week's cyber-attack that rocked the game industry and left personal data tied to 77 million PSN accounts stolen.
    Sony has implemented a variety of new security measures to provide greater protection of personal information. Tests have been conducted with third-party security experts to verify the strength of PSN, and the job of Chief Information Security Officer has been created to "add a new position of expertise in and accountability for customer data protection".

    The new security measures include:
    • Added automated software monitoring and configuration management to help defend against new attacks.
    • Enhanced levels of data protection and encryption.
    • Enhanced ability to detect software intrusions within the network, unauthorized access and unusual activity patterns.
    • Implementation of additional firewalls.
    Sony has come under fire for not encrypting personal data, such as passwords. In the UK the Information Commissioner's Office plans to discuss the security failure with Sony to see whether it was in breach of the Data Protection Act.But Sony has insisted it encrypted credit card information, and this morning stressed that it has found no evidence "at this time" that credit card data was stolen.
    Hirai confirmed the number of exposed credit card numbers was about 10 million. Sony is unsure if those card numbers were actually stolen, and it doesn't know if hackers are trying to use them in fraudulent purchases.
    Once PSN comes back online, it will force a system software update that requires all registered PSN users to change their account passwords. The password can only be changed on the same PS3 in which that account was activated, or through validated email confirmation.
    "This criminal act against our network had a significant impact not only on our consumers, but our entire industry," Sony deputy president Kazuo Hirai said.
    "These illegal attacks obviously highlight the widespread problem with cyber-security. We take the security of our consumers' information very seriously and are committed to helping our consumers protect their personal data. In addition, the organization has worked around the clock to bring these services back online, and are doing so only after we had verified increased levels of security across our networks.
    "Our global audience of PlayStation Network and Qriocity consumers was disrupted. We have learned lessons along the way about the valued relationship with our consumers, and to that end, we will be launching a customer appreciation program for registered consumers as a way of expressing our gratitude for their loyalty during this network downtime, as we work even harder to restore and regain their trust in us and our services."
    Sony is working with law enforcement to track down and prosecute the hackers, it said.

    Sony reneges on CSC claims; FBI and US Department of Homeland Security now involved

    Sony's deputy president Kaz Hirai will host a media briefing tomorrow to address the issues surrounding the PSN saga – the first time a senior executive has spoken about the situation.
    He will discuss Sony's ongoing investigation, its security systems and plans to restore the service.

    The news comes as Sony has reneged on some of its claims about PSN security. Previously the firm said that it had "never requested" users' CVC codes – that's the three digit security number found on the back of every credit and debit card.
    However, the company has now scratched that claim from its official FAQ on the PSN breach and replaced it with: "While we do ask for CSC codes, we do not store them in our database."
    Uncertainly still surrounds the situation, though, as reports have claimed that hackers are trying to sell the PSN account details of some 2m users, including their CSC codes.






    In a further development, Gamastura reports that the US Department of Homeland Security and the FBI are now assisting Sony with its investigations.
    Last week Sony said that it hopes to have some elements of PSN back online by May 3rd
