I mean if you go to a website, you log in, and they instantly ask you for a new password… that’s not normal, at least outside of work it isn’t. I still have 90 day crap on work accounts from vendors, but personal, almost never. I’ve had to do that for a few recently, and one of those is… Amazon. And I know at least one other person who had that with Amazon too like a day after I complained about it. And there were a couple others.
None of those made me believe anyone tried to actually access my account though. My 2 steps usually trigger for that.
Yeah, it makes me suspicious that there was a large data hosting hack.

I turn on 2 step on almost every account that offers it to me but because where I work, we’re attacked all the time, I know there are ways around that so constantly reminders are sent out to us about being careful.
I hate that companies can sit on this kind of thing, and when they do reveal the punishment for lax behavior or policies or even systems is so light it seems hardly a deterent.
Or… it could could just be issues with a few accounts with the people you know and me. I don’t know how we can know, but I would think if PSN was compromised on the wide scale… well I don’t know any business that can keep gamers from talking pretty much everywhere when we’re unhappy.
Yeah the two dudes that I know about in detail are very computer/Internet savvy and had two factor on. They both discovered it because of charges appearing. One was traveling and had his whole bank account emptied out.

Are you saying he had his debit card on PSN or did he get his banking information stolen some other way? I don’t buy a lot on Playstation store these days, but I kind of thought they asked for cards not direct links to accounts.

Eeeh. Ouch. That’s terrible.
It was back on when I tried it around noon Central time. Thankfully. I have had lots of Bloodborne time in today. Phew. I had no idea my remote play capability was tied to PSN being up and running until today.

I think there was a sony email regarding store update. The store wishlist is now gone… what a dumb move. How should I know what to buy? I had 40 items on the list … sucks.

Supposedly the wishlist is still there on your console? Just not on the desktop store.

Heh. I just went through a month or so ago and populated the wishlist with all the PS4 exclusives I was thinking of checking out on PS5.
It’s a dumb move for them, but definitely a win-win for me.
- I’ll be buying less of their games as a result of this, and save more money
- I’ll have more time to play the games I already bought from them

I don’t understand their reasoning for removing the wish list.

must be something technical behind the scenes stuff …
Looks like a few existing PS4 titles are seeing load times cut…

Retrofitting of the improved Oodle texture compression licensed for the PS5 I think, going by comments on that article.
The housecleaning continues!
My PS4 Pro has been gathering dust (well, sitting in a drawer) for years now. Would anyone like it? It’s a launch model, and was used very little. I’m not even sure if these are still desirable but figured I’d ask before putting it on Craigslist’s free-stuff page.
Edit: CLAIMED!
A free console? That’s impressive! I need my base model for one more DLC for Nioh 2, and then it’s ready to be put out to pasture.
Well, my kids still use it to stream shows. I guess it gets to live a while longer.
Just popped in to ask if anyone else is completely bugged out about the fact that they’ve removed game trailers from PS Store?? WHY
Apparently PSN is having a big sale as well? I wish the webstore still had the wishlist. I should have written it down before it disappeared. Oh well.
