Sony Playstation Network hacked - All your infos are belong to hackers.
Stoic Joker:
Now this one's really funny:
According to reports on Nyleveia.com, Eurogamer, and NeoGAF, Sony's PlayStation Network password reset system-the one just put in place after the PSN hack-has been compromised, allowing hackers to change a PSN password if they know your email and date of birth. Exactly the sort of information that was released in the original hack.

Apparently Sony hasn't heard of the put the reset link in the Email trick... :wallbash: ...Wow!
Deozaan:
It's astounding how incompetent Sony have revealed themselves to be with this whole ordeal...
Josh:
How are they incompetent with this issue now? Almost all companies use the same email address verification, or a very similar method, for login information....

Normally, the reset link is in the e-mail though, so the hacker would have to know the e-mail address. For my SOE account, that's the way it was, so this is pretty incomprehensible.
