Treat people the way you wanna be treated. Even on here!

Grand Theft Auto VI cover art fits perfectly right next to the rest of the GTA franchise.

✅ Helicopter
✅ Motorcycle
✅ Protagonists
✅ Random cover girl

Love that it has callbacks to the rest of the series and GTA Vice City in particular.

Sony Steps Up Fraud Prevention After Major PS5 Security Vulnerabilities Exposed. https://t.co/BnkWAxHeMB

God of War (2018), Ragnarök and Laufey all exist within a single shared universe, says Cory Barlog:

"Everything that we're doing inside of this game, running in parallel to the timeline of 2018 and Ragnarok, also has direct connections to everything, so that everything is part of a singular universe inside of it.

None of this is like we're telling a side story. This is all a new chapter in the same book, a massive book, and we are starting to show that this has more than you could have imagined."

@ymnis_v1 @oliver_drk What exactly do you mean by “unknown” just that you don’t use it for any other sites?

[Poncho @PorkPoncho]

This will be a bit of a thread but I go into some stuff so bare with me… Off the back of the very public breach of @longislandviper's PlayStation Network account I've been doing a lot of research into the topic such as who attacks these accounts, why they do it, and how they go about gaining access.

The TL;DR is that unfortunately @PlayStation very clearly employs some of the cheapest support agents possible in random parts of the world where this labour is cheap and the agent may not speak your language very well.

They do not enforce certain security processes or procedures on those support agents, and it has left them with a gaping security hole in their support system that is unfortunately very easy to exploit.

There is no way they don't know this, and there is no way they have not known this was an issue for a significant amount of time.

An update!

I'm sorry I've been quiet, but I've spent the last couple of days learning as much as I can about PSN account theft: How long it's been happening, why people are being affected, and so on. I've likewise exchanged a ton of emails with and spoken extensively on the phone with multiple high-ranking people at Sony in different departments over a series of lengthy calls. I want to sincerely thank them for listening, asking great questions, being thorough and thoughtful, and doing everything they can to help. I owe them a lot, and it's through their efforts that I hope we will see action.

On the next episode of Sacred Symbols, I will go deep into what we've learned (and because it's so important, we will make this episode free-for-all upon release this Friday). The reality, as far as we can tell, is that the PSN is extremely vulnerable to so-called "social engineering": Using completely mundane information -- like what you'd find on a Wal-Mart or Target receipt (if that) combined with nothing more than an email address -- and using those details to hijack innocent people's accounts via call center customer service representatives. This technique completely circumvents not only your password, but your 2FA, etc. It happened to me, it's happened to many others, and it will continue to happen unless fundamental changes are made.

In addition to the people at Sony that have been so helpful, I want to thank people in my community with IT, infosec (etc.) backgrounds who have stepped up in major ways, all without being asked. We've learned an enormous amount about the who, what, where, why, and so on, all because of these people volunteering their time and effort. I'm actually (pleasantly) shocked how good these folks are. We have been and will continue to be passing along everything we've learned (and continue to learn) to Sony, in hopes that we can be useful in solving this major problem for the entirety of the PlayStation community.

Ultimately, I have two goals:

1.) To help convince Sony that they need to make serious, immediate efforts to secure people's accounts on PlayStation Network. (We are in this stage.)

2.) To help reunify people with their stolen accounts. (This is a big one, and my heart is so heavy for people who have lost access, sometimes for months and even years, through no fault of their own, and with seemingly no recourse for them. It's simply not fair.)

More on the show! In the meantime, be well. <3

@Darkborn162 @_ToastedBrioche lol almost did the same thing

[Pyo 5️⃣ @mrpyo1]

Please share this everywhere, Sony has a huge security issue, what this is about:

- Attackers only need your public PSN ID plus one piece of old transaction data, so usually a full order number or the last four digits of a card you used on the account at any point in the past.

- They contact Sony support (or use the automated recovery tool) and provide that information as “proof of ownership.”

- Sony’s internal support system then lets them change the email address linked to the account and disable 2FA. No login is required on their end.

Yes you read that right, people can disable mfa and change your Playstation email account if they manage to fool the Sony support. This is a huge security issue... 💀

Note: Colin got this account back, but this is a bigger issue that needs to be addressed. This has apparently happened to a lot of people

@NextGenPlayer I mean it says #3 for GTA in the picture you provided so idk if it was a bug. Idk how I feel about this tbh
