So this PSN/Sony Hacker Drama...

[U4EA]

PlayStation Store is finally up. Managed to snag my free games as well between all the errors. System's getting hammered.

[Don Carlos]

GOnna grab my 2 as well...Wipeout and summat else...

[U4EA]

I got that and Dead Nation, which is like Alien Swarm but with zombies instead of aliens. Sort of like an isometric view L4D. Has co-op modes, which should be good fun.

Catching up on the daily Sony hack:

I cant log in to claim my games. I think they reset my password but whenever I try to change it I get a maintenance page.

Hackers are coming out of the woodwork! Anyone hear about the RSA breach?

Lockheed Martin said Friday that it had proof that hackers breached its network two weeks ago partly by using data stolen from a vendor that supplies coded security tokens to tens of millions of computer users.

...

RSA disclosed in March that hackers had stolen data that could compromise a company’s SecurID system in a broader attack, and the breach of Lockheed, the nation’s largest defense contractor, is the first time that is known to have occurred.

Interesting times, indeed.

I think that's just the system being under heavy stress due to everyone coming back at once. I'd try again at offpeak hours or something.

Evidently they settled a few months ago: http://au.gamespot.com/news/6308347.html

Anyone following this AntiSec thing? Apparently Anonymous and LulzSec have joined forces to take down government agencies. Read about it earlier today and apparently they've already knocked off a UK (soca.gov.uk) and a Chinese (jhw.gov.cn) site. No idea what either of these are but... this could get very interesting.

EDIT: Soca is Serious and Organized Crime Agency. Makes sense. Couldn't figure out what the Chinese site was.

19-Year Old Alleged LulzSec Ringleader Arrested in England

or not

[Mogul]

The updates suggest he's just an IRC stooge. LulSec remains unharmed, but I think at this rate, it's probably only a matter of time before this all comes crashing down.

[DooMer]

They used his IRC server. Might be an attempt to get chat logs.

They're starting to break:

It's fun to believe that these groups are some kind of rebel force for good, but they're probably just in it for cash dollars and notoriety.

Seems odd that LulzSec would partner with Anonymous... their motives seem vastly different, and just going from the rate and tone of their tweets, it really does seem like LulzSec is a group of kids (an easy image to fake, I know) whereas Anonymous comes off as more of the "strong, silent one", at least in relation to Lulz. Either way... this is some of the weirdest shit to hit the Internet I'd say... entertaining, at the very least. Tell them to fucking hack the Canadian gov't already and get Harper the fuck outta here

I got an email from BioWare today telling me they got hacked as well [not serious apparently, just some old servers]. NFI when or why I would have registered on the NWN forums o_O

We recently learned that hackers gained unauthorized access to the decade-old BioWare server system supporting the Neverwinter Nights forums. We immediately took appropriate steps to protect our consumers’ data and launched a thorough ongoing evaluation of the breach.

Our investigation shows that information such as user names, encrypted passwords, email addresses, mailing addresses, names, phone numbers, CD keys and birth dates from these forum accounts on the system may have been compromised, as well as other information (if any) that you may have associated with your EA Account.

I got the same email. Hackers are either coming out of the woodwork, or companies are covering their asses by letting us know every little thing that happens now that Sony got spanked for not doing so. My money is on a little from column A, a little from column B.
