Less than 2 days after Sony started bringing its PlayStation Network back
online reports are coming in that the besieged gaming giant.s platform has
been hacked yet again. MCV is reporting that the exploit allows for
hackers to change users passwords using only a PSN account email and date
of birth, two pieces of user information that were obtained in the
original hack. Update below.
MCV says that the hack, which is really an exploit of Sony.s password
reset system, was first reported by Nyleveia.com and then corroborated by
Eurogamer. Now the PSN login option is unavailable on a number of Sony.s
sites. Sony's login site that is used to reset passwords using the email
and date of birth is now down.
According to Nyleveia the exploit was demonstrated to it personally by
someone who knew the method.
