again with the totally failing to read
PNSplus you massive cockwit, isn't a free service...
contractually they are obliged to provide back any full days missing with another full day. it's been down for slightly over 60 days so we are entitled to 60 days (actually it's closer to 64 days) of additional plus account because that's what we've lost.
So again no compensation.
As for the PSN.
Sorry I think the DPA is quite clear unlimited damages for exposure of ones private data by a corporate entity this would include additional or combined fines for:
Failing to correct secure a users information.
providing information to a 3rd party without consent
failing to notify a user within a timely fashion of any breach
It's about 5 to 10 grand for each of those contraventions then we get to the really juicy stuff.
See sony have all along stated that they don't think the payment card details have been compromised as they were on an encrypted database so they don't think they've done anything wrong.
Except of course this fails to take into account if a person has the username and password for the account they also have access to the users payment details. They don't need to hack an encrypted database when they've got front door keys...
So failing to maintain payment records in a secure fashion and to allow payment details to be accessed is not only a DPA issue, it's a criminal offense and also has the potential for unlimited fines/compensation claims.
Then you have the loss of use distress inconvenience of having to stop your bank/credit/debit cards the delay in notification which further caused delays in being able to recover any missing moneys as the banks usually don't refund anything until the card is reported stolen or compromised...
failure to maintain adequate payment systems security.
And a few dozen DPA issues with the user data being shipped outside the EU...
So yes the PSN is a free service but compared to the shitstorm which may well rain down on them they'd do well to offer a better and significantly so compensation package.
otherwise each user will rinse it for what it's worth and then sue anyways....
so over all
I have to say it's a lot easier to calm down if massive cockwits don't think their 2 1/2p worth of comment has to be said at all times particularly when the information which proves them wrong is contained in the post they then quote, but have totally failed to read...
