So it is as bad as we feared. The only silver lining I can see is that Sony made the difficult business decision to turn off the network until they were sure it was secure. While that doesn't make me feel better as a PSN user I do respect their honesty and commitment to fixing it.
Time to get a new identity! =)
- Groxx 15y agoI doubt turning off the PSN was a "difficult business decision". More like their lawyers said "KILL IT NOW" and pointed out the ramifications of not actively preventing such wholesale personal information theft. There will already be a lawsuit of some sort. Imagine how bad it would be for them if they hadn't shut it down.
- Timothee 15y agoTime to get a new identity! =) That's what I was thinking: in most cases of user accounts being compromised, the solution is "change your passwords on this and other sites". Here you need to change your birthday, cancel your credit card, move out, change your name… kind of a hassle.

- nitrogen 15y agoHow do they claim to own the MX for example.com? Aren't the example.* domains supposed to be reserved?
- xp84 15y agoFrom the "click here to use it" page: "Fake Mail Generator changes the domain frequently in order to prevent the address from being banned, a problem which plagues other disposable email services." Sounds like they added "example.com" into the list by mistake... It has no MX from what I can tell.

- Groxx 15y agoI think you just solved the problem. The shock would probably do it for you.
