http://tantaicbs.com/sony-caught-leaving-exploit-psn-password-page.htmlPSN is up for another attack after someone with the name Nevada confirmed that there are still a lot to be done from the security researchers at Sony. The security hole described as being an easy target for hackers to exploit where they just need the victim’s email account and date of birth to easily change the password. This has come despite Sony forced a password reset for every PSN members after having just to reconnect back to the recently restored network.
While we don’t have a lot of details of how the exploit actually works, top mainstream gaming news such as Eurogamer has confirmed the legibility of the hack after they claimed to have watch the video. Well, you can be 100% sure that it is indeed another PSN epic fail. More information from the original source of the story.
I want to make this clear to ALL PSN users. Despite the methods currently employed to force a password change when you first reconnect to the PlayStation network, your accounts still remain unsafe.
A new hack is currently doing the rounds in dark corners of the internet that allows the attacker the ability to change your password using only your account’s email and date of birth.
It has been proven to me through direct demonstration on a test account, so I am without any shadow of a doubt that this is real.
I would suggest that you secure your accounts now by creating a completely new email that you will not use ANYWHERE ELSE, and switching your PSN account to use this new email. You risk having your account stolen, when this hack becomes more public, if you do not make sure that your PSN account’s email is one that cannot be affiliated with or otherwise traced to you.
While we originally assumed this was a poor hoax designed only to stir the community into another frenzy, the individual who we are in contact with requested just two pieces of information from us: this being an account email and the date of birth used for that account. We promptly created a new account via us.playstation.com and provided the individual with the email address and date of birth used.
Roughly a minute later they requested that we try to login with the password we used for the account (which they did not know at any point), and sure enough, we were presented with an invalid username and/or password prompt.
