Using the proxy method locally wouldn't compromise security any more than using PSN the correct way. I've never seen any third-party psn proxies tho, but if people where using them then yea that could be a vuln.

what it means is sony will take away the poop net browser, followed by psn messages until they release in-game chat and make people pay to use it all again while claiming it to be better because you paid. bet.

i worry more about this here site and its lack of security. already had one pc that was virus infected by hax.net some time ago and i guess its just a matter of time before the next. and please don't tell me it wasn't hax.net because it absolutely was, you invite the dreggs just with the site name.

i know what happened, well i can almost guarantee it: when he did the stupid ass PSN code gen referral scheme, one of the requirements is to complete a fake test, as shown here:

when you finish the fake test it'll force you to enter your cell phone number so it can text message you a pin number, when you confirm that pin you got to the website, you'll recieve a bill with an added charge for some bull**** service.

I Just got a similar message, it came from a friend I've had for a few months now talking about free $ for x amount of referrals and a PSN Code Generator but there wasn't any URL so I just deleted it thinking it was some random ass scam/spam.

The message itself looked too well written and punctuated to be my friends writing so it had me wondering. Seriously hope I didn't put myself at risk for opening that.

Dont be silly, the sites security is fine, you cant get viruses from other users, the only problems we ever had was with one of the advertisement companies, that was fixed a long time ago and any advertisements can be blocked with Adblock +.

Regardless of that, how can you be 100% sure that it was this site and not one of those illicit sites you regularly visit, you claim we invite the "dreggs" here, then i guess that must make you one too.

Also in future, could you stay on topic and if you have a problem about the site, any of its members, or staff, be mature enough to report it the right way and spam an unrelated thread about it, thank you.

A couple of tips to keep you safe:
1.Delete any spam/junk messages straight away and delete/block the sender, DO NOT open them.
2.NEVER give your PSN log in details to anyone, site or program.

Nice report Greg, good tips above , the common role should be if it sounds to
good to be true , it normal is , when it comes to web offers.

nice going

just sony spreading rumors to justify killing any more features. in my own conspiracy theory.

[h@kdpl@net!!!]

whoa!!! what if:
1) inside job by $ony
2) sum1 read mathuelah's(? the psp hacker guy) interview & found that hardware vulnerability he was talking about?
3) geohot found a way 2 edit his MAC adress, could u spoof sum1 else's system w/ that?
4) auto-updates-could they give more or better sniffing opportunities ?
5) col. mustard in the kitchen w/ the candlestick & a PSP!!!

UPDATE- long story short:
a few days ago my GF's debit card, according to the bank, was used to add 10$ to my PSN account. now y'all know whenever you add funds, you get a e-mail receipt. we didn't get one. i called the bank & a real life person verified it was $ony. i call up PSN customer serv. & they said that all that data is stored on my system & they cant erase it, i HAVE to update & go online to check it & delete as necessary. PSN also told me i should REALLY REALLY REALLY file a fraud report w/ the bank. (he couldn't stress it enough). any thoughts, feelings, opinion, & suggestions would b appreciated. i think they did get hacked-MAYBE a spoofed PSN server?

Front page updated with this, it seems that indeed his account was hacked, though im still a bit unsure about this, but thats just me.

*Update* We have just received word from Sony's PlayStation Network investigation team; Dom's account was indeed hacked. According to Sony, Dom's PlayStation Network account was accessed from an unknown IP address that purchased loads of unauthorized content from the PlayStation Store. Sony also reimbursed Dom's credit account with half of the money he was charged. The situation is still being investigated. We will give you a final update when the situation is resolved.
