The Playstation Network is a Dangerous Place to Be

I only have a Playstation 2 and I have tons of games for it, ranging from Spyro The Dragon to Crash Bandicoot to Sonic and all that stuff. But today, I read an article on Playstation Network hacking from a GameLife writer Jason Schreier.



Apparently, an "unauthorized person" hacked into the network and stole all the credit card numbers, addresses, and passwords. Although it wasn't confirmed, Sony could not rule out that possibility, so people who are on the Playstation Network could possibly be at risk. The network has been down since last Wednesday, hoping that they can track and find the person before it's too late.
Hackers, hackers, hackers. Always trying to find some way to gain control of the system. Well, in this case, it's very bad for people who are using the Playstation 3, Playstation Portable, and the Playstation Network. With all this kind of information, the unauthorized person can very easily hack into the system and download tons of information just by using other people's credit cards.



I hope that the person is found and arrested because hacking is a very serious crime. In some cases, it can cost people their identity and in other cases, they can become a target. Let's hope this hacker is caught, because if I was playing the Playstation 3 (which I don't), I would want this guy found sooner rather than later.
