2011 A PLAYSTATION NETWORK (hacking ) ODYSSEY ...at an end or just beginning?

Check your email accounts , you know the one's that hackers have had since 20/04/11 for there is a nice official Sony message asking you to change your password , and promising free games that we were promised as Kaz and the gang polished their shoes with their foreheads...

and do not forget your SOE account!

However do not jump in and add new card details just yet , there has been no explanation of what and how things transpired , instead take this opportunity to delete the old card details  .And then wait because the 2011 Playstation Network Hack Odyssey is no yet over :

In Japan the government is following thegameveda's advice ,  first finding out why and how the attack happened , and seeking assurances from Sony , as a result their PSN is down for now.  This is the correct way to handle an attack that hurt over 100 million people. Interesting that neither the USA or EU are taking a similar stance ...yet......

Until we find out exactly what happened , i.e. your government finds out what happened. like  the Japanese government is doing so right now for it`s citizens , you should not update any new credit card details , whether you are in the USA or EU . 

Whilst it can be argued that no system online is safe from hackers , you should also consider that only one system in recent history has had over 101 million account details taken with such ease and with the hackers still at large , and with no detailed independent public inquiry , and that I am sorry to say is PSN. 

The question is how  are we going to trust Sony from this point on?

Dave you did remember to turn off the Playstation Eye ..didn`t you ...?

So is the 2011 PSN Hack Odyssey over or just beginning , if you are confounded about what to do next , and if you missed the riff  check out  Mr Kubrick and Arthur C Clarkes 2001 A Space Odyssey , and that should learn ya about the dangers of super computers like our beloved PS3`s and just a last point of caution Hal didn't even have access to the internet /hackers and look what he got up to !
