Uh-oh. While Sony Online Entertainment had http://www.joystiq.com/2011/04/28/sony-online-entertainment-says-its-customer-data-is-safe/ - assured
its customers last week that, "to the best of our knowledge, no
customer personal information got out to any unauthorized person or
persons" during last month's http://www.joystiq.com/tag/psn-outage-2011 - breach into Sony's systems, the MMO division today suspended its games and services, including its websites and http://blog.games.com/2011/05/02/psn-sony-shuts-down-soe-facebook-games/ - Facebook titles .
"We have had to take the SOE service down temporarily," the group said in a http://maintenance.station.sony.com/ - brief statement
this morning. "In the course of our investigation into the intrusion
into our systems we have discovered an issue that warrants enough
concern for us to take the service down effective immediately."
SOE added that it would provide an update later today. In the meantime,
the notification page suggests you download and play some (offline)
casual games to distract you from that horrible feeling in the pit of
your stomach.

http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/02/sony-hit-with-second-attack-loses-12-700-credit-card-nu/ - by http://www.joystiq.com/editor/ben-gilbert - Ben Gilbert http://www.joystiq.com/editor/ben-gilbert/rss.xml"> on May 2nd 2011 5:45PM
Following up on http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/02/soe-suspends-services-after-discovering-an-issue/ - this morning's news that Sony Online Entertainment servers were offline across the board, Japanese newspaper Nikkei reports (via http://www.bgr.com/2011/05/02/sony-suffers-another-major-security-breach/ - BGR )
that the company has lost 12,700 customer credit card numbers as the
result of an attack. The company apparently took SOE servers offline
after learning of the attack last evening, but has yet to issue a
statement confirming that customer information has been lost.
Of the 12,700 total, 4,300 are alleged to be from Japan, while the
remainder's origins are unknown. The report also notes that most of the
numbers are said to be from expired cards, which http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/02/sony-woes-continue-as-soe-confirms-data-breach/ - Engadget posits could mean this was simply stolen data from an old backup.
The report doesn't mention whether last night's supposed breach is connected to the http://www.joystiq.com/tag/psn-outage-2011 - recent incidents
involving Sony's PlayStation Network and Qriocity services, though an
SOE representative told Joystiq that official comment would be coming
from the company "within the hour."

is it wrong for me to have some sort of ah-ha feeling about S.O.E due to the my personal experiences with this company? Rhetorical.
http://ingame.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/05/02/6573427-sony-online-entertainment-hacked-some-credit-card-info-taken - http://ingame.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/05/02/6573427-sony-online-entertainment-hacked-some-credit-card-info-taken
And here's the best part of this article. at lease for me...
The company has also said it will give players 30 days of free time on their subscriptions as well as one day for each day the system is down. It is also creating a "make good" plan for its multiplayer online games

When Sony Online Entertainment http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/02/sony-hit-with-second-attack-loses-12-700-credit-card-nu/ - announced last night that it had lost several thousand customers' credit card numbers -- though the theft came weeks earlier, during the http://www.joystiq.com/2011/04/23/psn-outage-due-to-external-intrusion/ - main attack affecting Sony's PlayStation Network and Qriocity services -- something didn't add up. Sony Online Entertainment had just http://www.joystiq.com/2011/04/28/sony-online-entertainment-says-its-customer-data-is-safe/ - one week earlier
specifically said that its customers data was safe, because "SOE's
systems and databases are separate from PSN's." So, how did SOE customer
information leak if the "systems and databases" were different for PSN
and SOE?
"While the two systems are distinct and operated separately, given that
they are both under the Sony umbrella, there is some degree of
architecture that overlaps," an SOE rep told Joystiq this afternoon.
Speaking to the method used for breaching the information, the rep told
us, "The intrusions were similar in nature," indicating that the same
party perpetrated both thefts.
SOE also insisted once more that "This is NOT a second attack," and that
yesterday's announcement was a result of "new information" that was
discovered on May 1 "as part of our ongoing investigation of the
external intrusion in April." It is still unknown when service will
return to SOE's games, but the company says "it will be as soon as we
are 100% confident that we can resume a safe and secure service."

i disagree with your assertion of responsibility.
if i stored my gold bars on a pedestal in my back garden would you expect i'd get sympathy from the police, the public, and the court if they're stolen, or would you say i didn't exercise adequate precaution to keep my valuables safe, even though the thief and not i, broke the law?
sony has yet to demonstrate they took adequate precaution to keep our valuable information safe.

Agreed. And the constant hesitation to fully admit/acknowledge what they have done wrong. It's this sort of arrogance that makes me hate Sony, not SOE, all of Sony.
Being pompous while completely oblivious seems to be their corporate mantra.
