The Guildmasters

Hi all,
I’ve just been notified of the latest update from Sony, although they are not online as yet it doesn’t look like it will be too long now.

They have been testing all week and you can now sign in to install the latest update which is required for when they do go live again, you can download and install this latest update now via the PS 3

As well as this latest news I also read that the attackers/hackers used Amazon ‘cloud’ to launch their attack from, this was not from Amazon themselves I must say, the hackers just used Amazon.

Hopefully we will be able to play again very soon. Also in the news was that many PS3 owners are trading in their systems for Xbox 360’s, 200% more trade-ins than normal in fact, it’s a shame.

Hi all,
Not good news i’m afraid, i’ve just posted this on the forum but thought I better post it here too.

It has just been announced on one of our news channels that Sony and the playstation network were in fact hacked and 77 million users ID information could have been accessed, that means names, addresses, credit card numbers and so forth.

I’m more than a little pissed off about this because Sony apparently knew about this 7 days ago, their first priority should have been to notify their customers so that at least we could have had the chance to stop any security breaches on our cards. 7 days is too late to notify that many customers of a possible ID theft. They should have been responsible and notified their customer on day 1. By not doing that they have given the thieves 7 full days to get away with…well you only have to think about the possibilities. Now we have to cancel our bank card tomorrow assuming we haven’t been cleaned out.

As far as getting back online, it could be as long as another week or more.
