Ukuphepha kwenethiwekhi ye-PlayStation: izingozi zangempela nokuthi ungayivikela kanjani i-akhawunti yakho

La ukuphepha ku PlayStation Network Sekuyinto ekhathaza kakhulu noma ubani odlala ku-inthanethi, othenga ku-PlayStation Store, noma one-akhawunti exhunywe kwi-console yakhe. Futhi kufanele: sikhuluma ngemininingwane yomuntu siqu, izindlela zokukhokha, kanye nemitapo yolwazi yemidlalo esiyiqoqe eminyakeni edlule. Ngaphandle kwamaphasiwedi, izinto eziningi zithonya ukuthi i-akhawunti yakho iphephile yini... noma ukuthi umhlaseli angakwazi yini ukufinyelela kuyo ngemizuzu embalwa.

Muva nje, kuye kwavela amacala amaningana aveze ukuthi ukwehluleka ezinqubweni zokuqinisekisa ubuwenaKukhona futhi nezinkinga ngamacala angaziwa kanye nemibuzo mayelana nendlela i-Sony ephatha ngayo izinto uma kukhona okungahambi kahle. Engeza kulokho umlando wezigameko zokuphepha ezinkulu kunethiwekhi ye-PlayStation, izinhlelo zamanje zokulawula okuqukethwe, kanye nezinyathelo ezinconywa yinkampani ngokwayo ukuze igcine i-akhawunti yakho iphephile. Ake sibheke konke ngokuningiliziwe, singashiyi lutho.

Ukuthenga okungaziwa kanye nezindleko ku-PlayStation Network

Esinye sezizathu ezivame kakhulu zokuthi kungani umsebenzisi esaba yilapho ethola izindleko ekhadini lakho noma ku-PayPal ongakhumbuli ukuzenzaNgaphambi kokushesha ufinyelele esiphethweni mayelana nokugenca okukhulu, kungumqondo omuhle ukubuyekeza ngokuphelele umlando wokuthenga kanye nokuthengiselana kwe-akhawunti yakho ye-PSN.

Isinyathelo sokuqala esinconywe yi-Sony ukubonisana nodokotela Umlando wokuthengiselana we-PlayStation Store. Kusuka ikhonsoli uqoboKuwebhusayithi noma kuhlelo lokusebenza olusemthethweni, ungabona ukuthi yini ethengiwe, nini, nokuthi iyiphi indlela yokukhokha. Ngokuvamile, "imfihlakalo" ixazululwa ngokuthola okubhaliselwe okusha, ukuthenga okudala, noma okuqukethwe okwakunganakwa ngaleso sikhathi.

Icala elivame kakhulu yilelo le- ukuvuselelwa kokubhaliswa okuzenzakalelayo njenge-PlayStation Plus noma ezinye izinsizakalo eziphindaphindayo. Uma ubona inkokhelo ephindaphindayo, iya kuzilungiselelo zokubhalisela ze-akhawunti yakho bese uhlola ukuthi zikhona yini izinhlelo ezisebenzayo ezinokuvuselelwa okuvuliwe. I-Sony ikhumbuza abasebenzisi ukuthi ukubuyiselwa kwemali kwalezi zimali kune- imigomo elinganiselwe, okuchazwe kabanzi ku-PlayStation Store Cancellation Policy.

Esinye isici sezinkinga sivela lapho Ingane encane emndenini isebenzisa idatha yokukhokha ngaphandle kwemvume kusuka kumuntu omdala. Ama-akhawunti e-PSN ezingane awanawo awawo ama-wallet, kodwa angasebenzisa ibhalansi ye-wallet yomphathi womndeni ngaphakathi komkhawulo olungisekayo. Lo mkhawulo wokusebenzisa usethelwe ku-0 ngokuzenzakalelayo, futhi umuntu omdala kumele awukhuphule ngesandla uma ebona kudingeka.

Uma ingane encane ingena isebenzisa i-akhawunti yabantu abadala, izokwazi ukufinyelela ku-PlayStation Network ngaphandle kwemingcele. izilawuli noma imikhawulo yabazaliLokhu kwephula Imigomo Yesevisi ye-Sony. Uma uthola ukuthi othile ongaphansi kweminyaka engu-18 usebenzisa iphrofayela yomuntu omdala, kungcono ukuxhumana nosekelo olusemthethweni ngqo ukuze uxazulule lesi simo.

Zingahle futhi zivele izindleko eziphindwe kabili ekhadini noma endleleni yokukhokha exhunyiwe. Kulezi zimo, kufanele uhlole ukuthi okuqukethwe okufanayo kuthengwe ngaphezu kwesisodwa, noma ukuthi ukuthengiselana bekusesimweni esingavamile (isibonelo, inkokhelo ehlulekile eyacutshungulwa kabili ekugcineni). Futhi, kunezikhathi ezithile zokucela imbuyiselo, ezichazwe ku-PlayStation Store Cancellation Policy, ngakho-ke kungcono ukungavumeli izinsuku zidlule.

Ukuhlolwa kokuqukethwe kanye nokubika kunethiwekhi ye-PlayStation

Ngaphezu kokuvikelwa kwe-akhawunti kanye nokukhokha, Ukuphepha ku-PlayStation Network kubhekisela nasemvelweni yomphakathiImiyalezo, izingxoxo zezwi, okuqukethwe okwabiwe, kanye nokuziphatha komsebenzisi kuyaqashwa. I-Sony inethimba lomhlaba wonke labaphathi abangabantu ababuyekeza imibiko yokuziphatha okungafanele epulatifomu.

Le nkampani ikhuthaza abadlali ukuthi Bika noma yikuphi okuqukethwe okwephula umthetho wokuziphathaUmbiko ngamunye uhlaziywa ngamunye ngabasebenzi abakhethekile, abangasusa imiyalezo ehlaselayo, bavimbe okuqukethwe okwabiwe, noma bathathe isinyathelo ngokumelene ne-akhawunti eyephule imithetho, okuhlanganisa nezijeziso zesikhashana noma ezihlala njalo.

Ukuqinisa lo msebenzi, i-Sony isebenzisa izindlela ezahlukene zokuthuthukisa amathuluzi okuthola okuzenzakalelayo Bafuna okuqukethwe okungaba yingozi kumasevisi aku-inthanethi. Phakathi kwezinye izinto, bangabona ulimi olunolaka noma olucasulayo, izixhumanisi ezingaba yingozi, kanye nezinhlobo ezithile zezithombe esezivele zibonakala njengeziyinkinga.

Lezi zinhlobo zamathuluzi zisekelwe ezinhlelweni ezifana ne- ukuqhathanisa i-hash yesithombeIfayela ngalinye linikezwa "isiginesha sedijithali" esiyingqayizivele (i-hash) esiqhathaniswa nesizindalwazi samasiginesha aziwayo. Uma kutholakala ukufana okungenzeka nokuqukethwe okungavunyelwe, lokho okuqukethwe kufihlwa ngokuzenzakalelayo noma kuthunyelwe kubaqondisi abangabantu ukuze kubuyekezwe kabanzi.

Uma ithimba lokuhlola lithola ukwephulwa okukhulu kwemithetho yokuziphatha, lingase dlulisela icala eziphathimandleni ezifaneleLokhu kwenzeka, isibonelo, ezimweni zokusongelwa ngokufa, izixwayiso mayelana nezingozi zokuphepha komuntu ngokomzimba, noma izinkomba zomsebenzi ongekho emthethweni. Ezimweni ezinjalo, ulwazi lungathunyelwa emaphoyiseni, ejensi kahulumeni, noma kwezinye izinhlangano ezifanele zokulawula.

Idatha yomuntu siqu, ukudalwa kwe-akhawunti kanye nobumfihlo obuyisisekelo

Uma udala i-akhawunti ye-PlayStation Network, i-Sony icela uchungechunge lwezinhlelo zokusebenza idatha yomuntu siqu enokusetshenziswa okuthileIsibonelo, usuku lokuzalwa lusetshenziselwa ukunquma iminyaka yangempela yomsebenzisi nokusebenzisa imikhawulo edingekayo kanye nokuvikelwa, kodwa lolo lwazi aluboniswa esidlangalaleni kwabanye abadlali.

Uma ubhalisa, uzocelwa ukuthi ungene Ikheli le-imeyili elivumelekileLolu lwazi lungaba ngolwakho noma olomnakekeli wakho osemthethweni uma kuziwa kuma-akhawunti ezingane. Kusukela kulolu lwazi, kukhiqizwa igama lomsebenzisi eliku-inthanethi kanye nephasiwedi ezosetshenziswa kunethiwekhi ye-PlayStation, yize ungahlala uhlela izici ezithile ezibonakalayo zephrofayela yakho.

Inqubo yokubhalisa ifaka isikhathi lapho kufanele wamukele khona imigomo yesevisi kanye nesivumelwano somsebenzisiNgokuvamile uzobona inkinobho efana nokuthi "Ngiyavuma. Qhubeka," eqinisekisa ukuthi uyifundile (noma okungenani uyayamukela) imigomo nemibandela yokusebenzisa ipulatifomu. Ngokombono wezomthetho nokuphepha, lesi sinyathelo sibalulekile ngoba simisa kokubili amalungelo nezibopho zakho.

Uma i-akhawunti isidaliwe, kubalulekile ukuqonda ukuthi Ulwazi lwakho olubucayi akufanele lwabelwane kalula.Ama-imeyili, amakheli, izinombolo zocingo, noma imininingwane yokukhokha akufanele neze ivele kuzithombe-skrini, emifudlaneni, noma okuthunyelwe ezinkundleni zokuxhumana. Ngayinye yalezi zinto ingaba yingxenye yephazili kothile ozama ukuzenza wena.

Kubalulekile ukukhumbula njalo ukuthi konke okuqukethwe kwe-PlayStation (imidlalo, izimpawu zokuhweba, umsebenzi wobuciko, ama-logo, njll.) kuvikelwa yi- I-copyright kanye nezimpawu zokuhweba kusuka ku-Sony Interactive Entertainment kanye nabanye abanikazi. Lokhu akuthinti ngqo ukuphepha kwakho, kodwa kuchaza ukuthi kungani inkampani iqine kangaka mayelana nokusetshenziswa kweplatifomu yayo kanye nezinsizakalo zenethiwekhi.

Umlando wokwehluleka kokuphepha kanye nokuphahlazeka okukhulu

I-PlayStation inomlando oyinkimbinkimbi maqondana nokuphepha: eminyakeni edlule kube khona izehlakalo ezibucayi ezibeka engcupheni ukwethembana izigidi zabasebenzisi. Okukhunjulwa kakhulu ukuhlaselwa kuka-2011, lapho i-PlayStation Network yayingasebenzi ngokuphelele izinsuku ezingu-23 ngemuva kokukhwabanisa okukhulu.

Leso siqephu sasibucayi kakhulu ngoba Kuthinte kokubili ukutholakala kwezinsizakalo kanye nokuvikelwa kwedatha.Abasebenzisi abakwazanga ukufinyelela imidlalo yabo eku-inthanethi cishe inyanga yonke kuyilapho iSony isebenza ngaphandle kwewashi ukuphenya okwenzekile nokuqinisa ukuzivikela kwayo. Nakuba kungakaze kube nokuphazamiseka okunjalo kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, kube nezinye izinkinga ezihlukile.

Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, okulandelayo kuye kwaqoshwa ukuphazamiseka kwesevisi, ukuhlaselwa kwe-DDoS (ukugcwala ngokweqile kweseva ngenxa yethrafikhi enonya) kanye nezinye izehlakalo ziphoqe i-Sony ukuthi iqhubeke nokuthuthukisa ingqalasizinda yayo. Le nkampani itshale imali ekuthuthukiseni izinhlelo, ekuqiniseni izilawuli, nasekuqiniseni ukuvikelwa kwedatha yomuntu siqu neyezezimali yabasebenzisi.

Kodwa-ke, ochwepheshe nabasebenzisi abahlukahlukene bakhombisile ukuthi, naphezu kwayo yonke le mizamo, Ukuphepha akukaze kuphelele noma kungapheleleIsibonelo samuva nje sikucacisa kahle lokhu: iphutha endleleni ukwesekwa kwamakhasimende okuqinisekisa ngayo ubunikazi liye lavumela abahlaseli ukuthi bathathe ama-akhawunti aphelele ngaphandle kokudlula izindlela zobuchwepheshe eziyinkimbinkimbi.

Ngesikhathi esifanayo, uhlelo lwe-PlayStation luyaqhubeka nokukhula ezingeni hardwareUkufika kwamamodeli afana ne- PS5 Idijithali encane, enosayizi omncane, isifundi esisusekayo, i-CPU kanye ne-GPU eyenziwe ngokwezifiso, uhlelo lokupholisa oluthuthukisiwe kanye ne-1 TB ye I-SSD Njengoba ihlanganisiwe, ayishintshi isisekelo senkinga: ukuphepha kwe-akhawunti kuncike kakhulu ekutheni ukufinyelela kanye nokubuyiselwa kweziqinisekiso kuphathwa kanjani, kunokuba kusetshenziswe imodeli ethile yekhonsoli.

Ama-akhawunti aqhekekile ngenxa yokwehluleka kokuqinisekisa ukwesekwa

Elinye lamacala abangele umsindo omkhulu muva nje yileli lentatheli yaseFrance UNicolas LelloucheIsazi sezobuchwepheshe sibike ukuthi silahlekelwe ukulawula i-akhawunti yaso ye-PSN yize ibonakala ivikelwe kahle. Okuhlangenwe nakho kwaso kuveze iphutha elikhulu ohlelweni lokuqinisekisa ubuwena benkonzo yamakhasimende lwe-Sony.

ULellouche uchaze lokho Othile ukwazile ukushintsha ikheli le-imeyili nephasiwedi ehlotshaniswa ne-akhawunti yakho ye-PlayStation Network, ngisho noma usetha ukhiye wokufinyelela ku-akhawunti yakho iPhone. Phakathi el tiempo ukuthi umhlaseli wayenokulawula, yonke imininingwane yakhe yomuntu siqu yashintshwa, Uhlu lwabangani bakho lususiwe futhi kwenziwa ukuthenga okungagunyaziwe.

Indaba yaba yisimanga nakakhulu lapho, ngemva kokwenza i-Sony ibuyisele ukulawula i-akhawunti kuye, intatheli yaphinde yahlupheka. ukugenca kwesibili kusetshenziswa indlela efanayoOkwenza izinto zibe nzima nakakhulu, waze waxhumana nomhlaseli ngokwakhe ngokudala i-akhawunti entsha nokubhalela umsebenzisi wakhe "wangaphambili", okwasiza ekucaciseni ukuthi ukuhlaselwa kwenziwe kanjani.

Ngokusho komdubuli we-hacker uqobo lwakhe, owazibiza ngokuthi uDerol Bodden, icebo lalihlanganisa ukusebenzisa ithuluzi lokubhala ikhodi langaphakathi kanye nenqubo elula kakhulu: xhumana nosekelo lwe-PlayStation, nikeza igama lomsebenzisi le-PSN bese unikeza i-invoyisi noma inombolo yokuthengiselana njengobufakazi obucatshangelwayo bobunikazi be-akhawunti.

Iqiniso elibalulekile ukuthi i-Sony, ngokusho kobufakazi obushicilelwe, Ayizange iqinisekise ezinye izinto ezibucayi njengosuku lokuzalwa lomnikazi we-akhawunti, igama eliphelele elibhalisiwe, amakhodi okuqinisekisa athunyelwe efonini ephathekayo, noma iziqinisekiso ekhelini le-imeyili lokuqala. Ngamanye amazwi, ngolunye ulwazi lokukhokha olubonakala esithombeni esidala, umhlaseli angakholisa i-chatbot noma i-ejenti yokusekela ukuthi ingumnikazi osemthethweni futhi athole ukulawula okugcwele.

Ukuhlasela kobunjiniyela bezenhlalo kusetshenziswa idatha yomphakathi

Isici esikhathaza kakhulu kuleli cala ukuthi Lokhu akuyona inkinga enkulu yobuchwepheshe kumaseva.kodwa kunalokho kuyinkinga yomuntu neyenqubo: uhlelo lwenkonzo yamakhasimende lwamukelwa njengedatha evumelekile engasakazwa obala ku-inthanethi.

ULellouche wayethumele isithombe-skrini ngaphambilini esibonisa i-invoyisi ye-PlayStation noma inombolo yokuthengiselanaLolo lwazi olulula nolubonakala lungenacala lwaba yisihluthulelo esavumela umhlaseli ukuba azenze umuntu osekelayo. Kwakungadingeki I-malwareAmandla amakhulu noma ukwephula ngokuqondile ukuqinisekiswa kwezinyathelo ezimbili akwanele: ukusebenzisa ubuthakathaka ekuqinisekisweni ngesandla kwakwanele.

Umdubuli we-hacker uchaze ukuthi indlela yakhe yokusebenza yayihlanganisa qoqa amakheli e-imeyili nezinombolo zokuthengiselana abasebenzisi ababebelane ngabo ngokungazi ezinkundleni zokuxhumana, ezihlokweni, kumavidiyo, noma ezithombeni-skrini. Ngalolu lwazi, bangalingisa isisulu ngokusekelwa kobuchwepheshe futhi bacele izinguquko ku-imeyili, iphasiwedi, kanye nedatha yomuntu siqu, okushiya umnikazi ofanele engenakho ukufinyelela.

Eqinisweni, intatheli yavuma ukuthi esihlokweni esidlule yayibonise ngephutha isithombe-skrini esasihlanganisa enye yalezo zinombolo ze-invoyisiLolu uhlobo lolwazi olufunwa abahlaseli ngendlela ehlelekile. Ngokusho kwezitatimende zabo, kunemininingwane eminingi kakhulu yalolu hlobo eveziwe kunalokho esikucabangayo, okwandisa kakhulu amathuba okubhekana nokuhlaselwa okufanayo.

Umphumela uba ukuthi, uma nje inqubo yokutakula i-akhawunti iqhubeka nokwamukela idatha okulula ukuyithola futhi eyanele ukuqinisekisa ubuwena, I-akhawunti efanayo ingantshontshwa ngokuphindaphindiwe.ULellouche waze wathi iSony yayiklame uhlelo olwalulula kakhulu ukulugwema, okuyinto empeleni ethanda ukugebenga ngokusebenzisa ubunjiniyela bezenhlalo.

Ukuqinisekiswa kwezinyathelo ezimbili kanye nemikhawulo yako

I-PlayStation Network ibilokhu inayo iminyaka eminingi ukuqinisekiswa okuzinyathelo ezimbili (2FA)Lesi isendlalelo esengeziwe sokuphepha, ngokombono, okufanele senze kube nzima kunoma ubani ozama ukufinyelela i-akhawunti yomunye umuntu. Kusebenza kalula: uma ufaka i-ID yakho eku-inthanethi nephasiwedi kudivayisi entsha (kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kuyi-console, ifoni ephathekayo, ithebhulethi, noma ikhompyutha), i-Sony ithumela ikhodi yokuqinisekisa ehlukile efonini yakho ephathekayo.

Ngenxa yaleyo khodi, ngokomthetho Nguwe kuphela ongaqedela ukungena ngemvumeNgoba nguwe kuphela okufanele ube nokufinyelela kufoni ebhalisiwe. Ngale ndlela, noma ngabe othile uthola iphasiwedi yakho, uzokhiywa ngaphandle ngoba ngeke akwazi ukufaka ikhodi yesikhashana ethunyelwe nge-SMS noma uhlelo lokusebenza lokuqinisekisa.

Inkinga, njengoba kubonakala endabeni kaLellouche, ukuthi Ukuphepha kobuchwepheshe kungase kube sengozini Uma uhlelo lwesevisi yamakhasimende lungasebenzisi izilawuli eziqinile ngokulinganayo, futhi uma ukwesekwa ngokwako kuvumela izinguquko kumakheli e-imeyili, amaphasiwedi, noma idatha ebalulekile enolwazi oluncane (njengenombolo ye-invoyisi), khona-ke ukuqinisekiswa kwezinyathelo ezimbili kuba yize, ngoba umhlaseli akasadingi ukudlula leso sihlungi.

Ngamanye amazwi, noma ngabe ulungiselela i-2FA, okhiye bokufinyelela abaxhumene nokuqashelwa kobuso, noma amaphasiwedi aqinile, Uhlala usengozini uma othile ekwazi ukukholisa ukwesekwa. ukuthi usebenzisa idatha etholakala ku-inthanethi kuphela. Yingakho kunesiqiniseko esikhulu sokuthi i-Sony kumele iqinise izinqubo zayo zokuqinisekisa futhi ihlanganise izici eziningana (idatha yomuntu siqu, ukuqinisekiswa kwe-imeyili yokuqala, amakhodi efonini ephathekayo, njll.) ngaphambi kokushintsha noma yini ebalulekile.

Kuze kube yilapho inkampani ithatha izinyathelo eziqinile kule ndawo, okuwukuphela kwento umsebenzisi angayenza nciphisa inani lolwazi olubucayi oluvezwayo futhi ubuyekeze njalo izinketho zokuphepha kwe-akhawunti yakho ukuqinisekisa ukuthi konke kusalungile.

Izinyathelo ezisebenzayo zokuvikela i-akhawunti yakho ye-PSN

Ngenkathi i-Sony ilungisa izinqubo zayo zangaphakathi futhi iqinisa ukuqinisekiswa kokusekelwa, abadlali bangathatha inani elithile izinyathelo zokuphepha eziqondile kakhulu ukunciphisa ingozi yokulahlekelwa i-akhawunti yakho noma ukuthola izindleko ezingafuneki.

Okokuqala nokubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi Ungalokothi ushicilele izithombe-skrini noma izithombe ezibonisa ama-invoyisiIzinombolo zokuthengiselana, amakheli e-imeyili agcwele, noma imininingwane yokukhokha. Ngisho nengxenye yekhodi yokuthenga, ingxenye yenombolo yochungechunge yekhonsoli, noma imininingwane yomlando we-oda lakho inganele ukuthi othile ahlasele ubunjiniyela bezenhlalo.

Kungumqondo omuhle futhi ukubuyekeza okuthunyelwe okudala ezinkundleni zokuxhumana, ezinkundleni zokuxhumana, noma kumabhulogi omuntu siqu lapho kungenzeka ukuthi ubonise khona ulwazi oluvela ku-akhawunti yakho ye-PSN ngaphandle kokuthi uqapheleUma uthola izithombe-skrini ezinedatha yokuthenga, ama-invoyisi, noma ulwazi olufanayo, isinyathelo esihlakaniphile kakhulu ukuzisusa noma ukuzifiphaza ukuze lezi zinto zingabonakali.

Esinye isinyathelo sokuvikela esinengqondo sihlanganisa susa ukuxhumanisa izindlela zokukhokha ezizenzakalelayo njengamakhadi asebhange noma ama-akhawunti e-PayPal, ikakhulukazi uma uthenga kaningi. Esikhundleni salokho, ungasebenzisa amakhadi akhokhelwa kusengaphambili noma ama-wallet edijithali anebhalansi elinganiselwe, ukuze uma othile engafinyelela i-akhawunti yakho, umthelela wezezimali ube mncane kakhulu.

Ngeke kube buhlungu ukusebenzisa i- izaziso zokuthenga nokuthengiselana Thola izaziso ku-imeyili yakho noma kudivayisi yakho yeselula, ukuze waziswe ngokushesha nganoma yikuphi ukuthengiselana okungajwayelekile. Uma usheshe uthole okuthile okungajwayelekile, kulapho ungasabela khona ngokushesha, ushintshe iphasiwedi yakho, uhlole amadivayisi akho axhunyiwe, bese uxhumana ne-Sony ukuze uphenye futhi uvimbele ukufinyelela okusolisayo.

Uma usola ukuthi othile ufinyelele iphrofayela yakho ngaphandle kwemvume, isinyathelo esinconywayo yilesi Xhumana nosekelo lwe-PlayStation ngokushesha okukhuluNgisho noma wazi ngemikhawulo yamanje yesistimu, kuseyindlela kuphela esemthethweni yokubuyisa ukulawula i-akhawunti yakho, ukuguqula izinguquko ze-imeyili noma zephasiwedi, kanye nokuphikisa noma yiziphi izindleko ezingagunyaziwe.

Ngesikhathi esifanayo, ungakhohlwa ukugcina izinga elihle lokuphepha okuyisisekelo: iphasiwedi ende neyingqayizivele, ukuqinisekiswa okusebenzayo kwezinyathelo ezimbili, amadivayisi athembekile ahlolwa njalo, kanye nokuqonda okuvamile lapho wabelana ngemininingwane yomuntu siqu kunoma iyiphi ipulatifomu eku-inthanethi.

Lonke lolu chungechunge lwezehlakalo, izinqubomgomo, kanye nezinyathelo kwenza kucace ukuthi ukuphepha kwe-PlayStation Network kuyinhlanganisela ubuchwepheshe, izinqubo zangaphakathi, kanye nokuziphatha komsebenzisiEzingeni lobuchwepheshe, i-Sony iqinise kakhulu inethiwekhi kusukela ekunqamukeni okukhulu kuka-2011, futhi inamathuluzi athuthukile okulawula nokuthola okuqukethwe okulimazayo; noma kunjalo, uma nje izinqubo zabantu ziqhubeka nokuvumela inombolo ye-invoyisi elula ukuthi isetshenziswe ukulawula i-akhawunti, abadlali kuzodingeka baqaphele kakhulu, baqaphele ngalokho abakuthumelayo, futhi bahlole yonke imininingwane ehlobene nokuthenga kwabo nedatha ye-PSN.
