Wondering how many users per region were affecting by the PSN attack/data compromise? Mark MacDonald has tweeted a chart outlining just that (click to enlarge):

I'd say that's pretty bad *after subtracting dupe accounts and so forth*. Thanks for the post.

I think the PSN account information is wrong.

Russian Federation, which is the largest single country in the world with a population of 142,905,200, only has just under 445,000 PSN accounts.

Where as a tiny island like Ireland with a small population of 6,197,100, has almost 437,000 PSN accounts.

Austria has a population of 8,032,926 and has almost 413,000 PSN accounts.

So how can a country with close to 143 million people have around the same amount of PSN accounts as a country with only 8 million.

I did read somewhere before their PSN servers were running an old Linux version and reading the diagram that is correct. it looks like the hackers used vulnerabilities in outdated libs or something. Now explain me one thing: how is it possible they where running an outdated Linux version on their servers? By stopping OtherOS they stopped updating their own servers? Their servers run on PS3 clusters?

Again an Epic Fail to my opinion... Fire all those people who are responsible for keeping their network updated and didn't do it

I pretty sure there was some kind of inside corporate accountability and shuffle done and that some employees were let go.

That would make sense, as I'm sure it's cheaper for those tightwads to use something they manufacture instead of buying proper servers.

Hmmm
I' am not a super expert but i' am quite an expert in various fields including security and crypto designs. So the basic question raised here is
1. The Credit card numbers are supposed to be to stored in anyone's individual machine,
and just verified at the time of transaction.
2. If Sony corporation makes a CreditCardNumber storage just after one trasnaction that sounds illegal to me. This kind of storage is permitted only to corporations like PAYPAL which have quite a bit non just electronic verification system.
3. If this is the case, we are not facing a PSN mamboo jamboo hack but a plain "man in the middle attack" , and "the man in the middle" is SONY.
Why this obvious observation does not catch the eyes of a lawyer!!!!!!!!!!!

UK with 9 million accounts yeah right. More Fony lies. I dont see the UK having as much as that, plus there is probably more 360 users in the UK than PS3.

Consider how many people have multiple accounts, I my self have 4 alone
