PlayStation.com hacked, security firm reports

OH SHI- is right D:

No they don’t. No one should take advantage of the human stupidity; it generates way too much profit. I mean is okay when 1 guy does it but when everyone does it is effing annoying. Half the internet is dedicated to make spam and fraudulent sites and every time they are more aggressive. Okay we are not stupid to click those stupid sites but they are each time more annoying and then we need stuff like Firefox , pop-up blockers and stuff that uses precious memory.

some of the oldest, richest institutions in the world are scams when you get down to the nitty.

Insurance
Religion
Government Lotteries

Oh, and interest for lending/credit

The banks and insurance companies are the real ones in the money-printing industry.

amen. i watch those commercials and look at those ads and think "i know there is actually somebody out there right now paying for this bullshit." and those folks deserve exactly what they get. i have no sympathy for stupidity.

Exactly, there are a lot of scammers out there because there are lots of idiots. No one should get money from suckers that how bad stuff happens.

For gods sake there is a difference between stupidity and ignorance. I work in a computer store builing and repairing PCs and i see heaps of infected computers come in with WinAntiVirus Pro 2008 and shit which are bogus virus protector programs. You have 50-60 yr old people trying to learn how to use computers because they didnt grow up with them accidentally looking at the wrong site, they'll easily belive that an online scan is legit and download the bogus software. Then i've gotta spend an hour or 2 cleaning it up. It's not stupidity, but people who aren't nerds like us simply don't know any better, and it's not there fault. The people behind this BS should be shot.

they are helping keep you in business tho

Insurance companies are the worst crooks of them all, IMO. >:\ I mean, it's nearly a win-win scenario either way for the larger(usually automobile)ones... their customers pay an exorbitant amount of money with the hopes they *won't* get in an accident nor a ticket(or worse)for not legally having insurance.

Then, should an accident occur - whether it's your fault or not; usually a hassle to either get a claim adjusted, blame found, or even repairs/rental car usage without a twist of the arm occurs. After that and despite them claiming otherwise, there's the worry of your monthly/yearly premium going up as a result. Of course, they won't outwardly tell you the price went up because of your newly created bad auto history, but enjoy the fun as you hear lame lies to cover up their reasoning for raising cost.

My favorites thus far:
» "You live in a tropical storm-possible region, coverage is tougher to administer" (Perhaps I do, but so do 1/3 of most Americans)
» "Due to rise in gas costs, motorists are more prone to road rage than usual" (So... basically, I'm Mad Max and I should watch out for Master Blaster?)
» "New Management" (I literally hung up after hearing that one)

Would you also lump mortgage companies in with the greatest scams of all time?

I only ask because I have a mor--oh SHI--**

@ Foxhound:

"New Management"?!?! Jesus, I have yet to hear that one, but if [when] I do, I'll be more than happy to slam the phone down on the receiver, wishing the whole time that it was that person's head.

Hi - this has nothing to do with banner ads. Sony's SQL database got injected with some malicious script, that ran code on a third party website.

Thousands of websites get hit in a similar way all the time. :(

Hot damn!

And what if not?

then imagine something else.

Gimme back my flag!

I think people will be too busy doing other things on the internet, rather than learning proper grammar. (ie: pr0n)
