As long as it gets fixed, I can wait. I still have tons of Zombies to kill on Dead Rising 2.

@Rodrigo X - The PS2 is still the king.

It's getting annoying, does anyone knows how to protect against the trojan called Trojan Gen3.DN's? I'm getting those each second/minute at the moment, I've tried to delete them but they keep coming back, I tracked a IP to USA and Ukraine, but apparently they seem to be proxies. As said this started yesterday, and I don't know what's really causing this to occur even with firewall blocking the packets in emergency mode they still manage to reach my PC, it's unbelievable. I'm stunned by all the malware coming through my ports, even through the http port 80... it's crazy. Is this some sort of cyber war going on? that's my guess for sure though. I'm trying to solve the problem, I searched for this virus name on the web but at no real results, just some with similar names but not this one, so it has left me puzzled.

I haven't had any trojans lately. What are you using for Virus protection? Internet Browser?
I'm running Firefox, and have Kaspersky Internet Security 2011, and I haven't gotten a single virus, trojan, malware, spyware, etc. I also run Advanced System Care 3 once a week to clean up the registries and history.

AVG, Malware Byte's, SuperAntiSpyware... but I've cleaned out the PC now. I haven't gotten any trojan this minute or the next, so I'm quite safe, again, for now. Pathetic hackers. I'm scanning and removing all of the malware in the PC using the listed anti-virus protections. I think some sort of cyber war is going on. Sony got their PSN hacked really badly due to that PSN removed the linux support for their console I think, I heard that on the radio about five minutes ago, so that seems to be the most likely cause of this hacker attack on the PSN.

My PC seems to be safe again, I've not gotten any malware for a while now. Back to normal.

Eh, even dead PSN is better than Microsoft Live. That's sad to hear anyway, I'm big Sony Playstation fan. By the way, I've just took some speed. Time is goin' damn fast.

This isn't something that's going to be fixed in the next hour...this is serious, and based on that statement, it seems Sony is having difficulty tracking down the root cause. There are theories that hackers, protesting the recent legal battle between Sony and a PS3 hacker, are the ones behind the attacks, but none of that can be confirmed at this time.

Basically it's a nightmare scenario for Sony, with every single piece of secure user data being stolen by a hacker or hackers. The company will be emailing registered users with information on how to guard against fraud now that their personal information has been compromised.

What sort of account information was obtained? Here's a list of what Sony thinks the hacker responsible might have gotten access to:

Name
Billing Address (city, state, zip, country)
Email address
Birthdate
PlayStation Network/Qriocity password and login
PSN Online ID
PlayStation Network/Qriocity password security answers
Credit Card Data (Sony doesn't have evidence of this, but can't rule it out)

This is pretty funny. Sense most user crap is been stolen i'm glad I stick to not buying online and stay to simple RL buying instead. This is pretty serious tho sense PSN Has been down for over a week and longer. I suspect Anonymous but I don't know yet sense normally they just DDos. Hmph w/e I don't mind just gives PSN the chance to have more security next time they come online.

It was just a small group of anons.
Their public protest failed so damn hard they got into rage.
If we have luck someone was so dumb and forgot to turn on a proxy.

It's not hard to take down a site at all, but for something like Sony's network you need just more than 2.

The only thing you can do is use hacks.

Man, you're damn crazy. Group of anons can't be small. We are anonymous. We are the Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us.

BUT I WON'T HACK UNREALSOFTWARE - TOO GOOD WEBSITE TO MAKE IT OFFLINE

You can't even hack your own PC, what are you talkin' about? Maybe you logged in from a teacher's PC, but that does not mean that you had hacked it.

There is no point in hackin' it. It's useless. And free.

I doubt he knows what the word hacking means.

But I personally don't play or even have a PS3. So I don't care.
Sorry for the people that do, but next time. Well, let us just hope there is no next time.

Yeah it's sad that a group of people were hacking PS3 for some small thing like this, really now. I don't mind the clichés but perhaps by switching to game on the Xbox360 Network might help to cure the boredome for a while as their network is at least functional, GTA IV multiplayer anyday. Eventually PSN will get back on their feet.

Actually, many other anons were against this.
It was indeed a small group - i have my sources.
