It has been only 2 days since Sony began restoring some services of its PSN network and Qriocity. Online multiplayer became available for most people on Sunday, prompting a general hallelujah from most PS3 gamers.
As a component of their initial restoration, PSN users are required to change their passwords. Sony sent emails to its customer with a link to a login page to do just that. Sony also said that these passwords could only be changed via on singular console in the future.
It appears as though Sony may have suffered another breach, just hours after it began to get everything back online. This would mean that after Sony made a huge deal about “verifying security” before bringing their services online, they might have failed within 48 hours.
Nyleveia first reported that a “new hack is currently doing the rounds in dark corners of the internet.” This breach allows hackers to change user passwords simply by using the email associated with the PSN accounts and the user’s date of birth.
Both of which are pieces of information that Sony admitted were obtained by hackers during the initial breach in April that caused the nearly month-long outage of the PSN.

they dont give a shit about sony.. its about the users.
the people who hacked gained access to names, birthdates, physical and e-mail addresses, and PSN passwords, logins, handles and online IDs..
i guarantee that the vast majority use the same password for PSN that they would for other stuff (email, online banking, etc.)

lol i was thinking the same thing. Buying a console for a "free roam" game where you can't even free roam and kill random people is pretty fail, might as well just rent a crime movie.

This isn't a new hack. This is just something Sony didn't think about when implementing their recovering plan.
As soon as I turned my PS3 on and tried to connect to the PSN for the first time after all the hacking, it asked me to change my password and wouldn't let me "change" it to the same thing it already was.
They just assumed people sign onto the PSN from their PS3s and be forced to reset their passwords rather than being unable to login to the PSN website.
