Sony denies hacker group's infiltration into PSN

4.6
There has been no intrusion into the PlayStation Network, Sony has told Joystiq in the wake of a hacker group reportedly leaking 2,131 PSN logins.

"We have investigated the claims that our network was breached and have found no evidence that there was any intrusion into our network," a Sony rep wrote to Joystiq. "Unfortunately, Internet fraud including phishing and password matching are realities that consumers and online networks face on a regular basis. We take these reports very seriously and will continue to monitor our network closely."

According to Cnet, the group leaked these logins in a public Pastebin document. However, both the group's Twitter account linking to the document and the document itself have since been taken down. Cnet reports that the group also revealed 1,473 Windows Live logins, and 2,000 2K Games logins. We've reached out to Microsoft and 2K to confirm network intrusion and will update if we hear back.

Lol PSN is a joke. They will get hacked for good one day.

I would be surprised if they got hacked again as they promised users to keep they're information safe the last time.

I don't understand why the Playstation Network is the network that keeps getting majorly hacked. Out of all the companies that could get hacked, hackers decide to hack a video game company for no good reason.

Well they've been hacked a major time before so hopefully it doesnt happen again.
