Well now...Let's just say Sony are not exactly the "legal" type..

well known hacker i don’t want to reveal here had all the Sony PlayStation Network functions 100% decrypted as well as providing some nice info about how Sony dealing with PSN members privacy in their online servers.

Apparently, Sony server gathered everything they can from the PSN connected PS3 console. When i said everything, i meant it. Here, i make all the list of what they squeezed from the IRC chat logs conversation between the hackers.

*Sony monitors all messages over PSN.
*All connected devices return values sent to Sony server returns TV, Firmware version, Firmware type, Console model
*They also collects data in your USB attached device.
*Credit card sent as plain text, example: creditCard.paymentMethodId=VISA&creditCard.holderN ame=Max&creditCard.cardNumber=4558254723658741&cre ditCard.expireYear=2012&creditCard.expireMonth=2&c reditCard.securityCode=214&creditCard.address.addr ess1=example street%2024%20&creditCard.address.city=city1%20&cr editCard.address.province=abc%20&creditCard.addres s.postalCode=12345%20
*The best part of all, the list is stored online and updated when u login PSN and random.

But, that’s not all, with the PSN functions fully decrypted, this hacker can use the function to get all games, DLC, you name it, from PSN store without paying anything.

Wow, i am just speechless! We can really sue Sony for monitoring ALL data including our credit card info providing that we are connected to PSN, of course. Man, that is really big fail, as well as the PSN fail oh and the PS3 fail. Everything just FAIL, Sony!

You can read the IRC chat logs at the link below. We censored the names just to be safe

$20 says Microsoft and Nintendo are just as reckless. I mean, it's a lot like the Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky fiasco; every president gets a blowjob, just Bill got caught and lied about it, so he's the one that goes down in history as that guy. I think the same is happening to Sony.

Of course, I don't have any proof of this. It's just a feeling I'm getting is all. I guess because I don't really trust any game companies with my info.

To be fair though, MS do encrypt stuff on their servers to be secure, Sony didn't even protect this stuff with an MD5 hash =/

How is this not legal in any way? Read the Terms of Service for PSN, it's all in there.

EDIT: Albeit it's kinda stupid that they don't encrypt any traffic.

The fact that they installed rootkits and stuff into the console firmware, Which is malicious, They done that without telling anyone, thinking people with average computing knowledge would have no idea what it is for and how it works. Read the PDF they address this.
