PSN: hackers are selling credit card users?

On the illegal market there would be a database of more than 2.2 million credit card and other sensitive data of users of the PlayStation Network some damage to some items offered for sale in the underground market, by some unidentified hacker, a database of more than 2.2 million credit card users NSP.

The objective is clear, apart from money: forcing Sony to buy the data to prevent them from becoming public, creating a devastating ripple effect. But it seems that Sony has refused to purchase. The rumors on the shaft of the credit cards was created by Kevin Stevens at Trend Micro, the first to break the news.

The database contains the following information for each user: name, address, phone number, email, email password, date of birth and the aforementioned credit card numbers, including expiration date and PIN. Obviously, the inclusion of data such as email and password in the security code of credit card data is not required by Sony, suggest that this is a fake.

Sony has not made a personal statement on the matter, but will do so soon because it's already identified the first victim of the alleged fraud of credit cards stolen from the PSN, a man from Australia who has found several suspicious transactions, for a total of two thousand dollars, on balance of his credit card.

But here too there are serious doubts on the wire fraud to the facts that have hit PSN, because the author seems to be easily located thanks to the transactions performed. Source: VG247
