I bought myself a 1024GB Huawei SD card for £7.90. When it arrived I immediately noticed problems when trying to use it as additional storage and any files copied over were impossible to open. I ran H2testw to check it over several days. Only 32GB of the advertised storage was legit, the rest just doesn't exists. It took ebay stepping in themselves to get me the refund. The seller wanted me to disable my firewall and disable all security settings to test the card, INSTANT red flag! I demanded a return label so I could send it back, they claimed to have tested the card and deemed it as OK and fully functional. This is impossible as the card is still sitting right here with me and I haven't been given a return label. Clearly I made a mistake and should have paid more attention to the warning of buying cheap stuff off ebay. Sorry Linus, I'll do better next time :( I'll post the details of the H2testw results too so I can see and get tips from you all: Warning: Only 1023981 of 1023983 MByte tested.

NEW UPDATE: THE HACKERS HAVE OFFICIALLY WON, SONY HAS JUST PULLED ALL THE PREMIERS OF THE FILM WORLD WIDE. #GG REPORTED ON THE FORUM HERE BY @rockking1379 HERE IS ANOTHER SOURCE TO THE ONE PROVIDED IN THE ABOVE TOPIC GIZMODO Updates to this story Thanks to Forum member @AlRayes_BRN for posting this, Cinemas have started to cancel Premiers to "The Interview" amidst Terror Threats made by hackers. Read that article HERE Before anything, I should say right now, this recent note has not yet been confirmed as genuine. It maybe from a fake group like the recent threats to the families of Sony Employees. Until it has been validated, take this post as a fairly large grain of salt. The Verge - http://www.theverge.com/2014/12/16/7402649/sony-hackers-threaten-terror-attacks-on-people-seeing-the-interview Not that long ago I posted an update to the recent Sony hacks brought on due to their new film to be released called "The Interview". if you haven't seen that post or don't know about the Sony hacks, click HERE to catch up, I'll still be here when you get back..... Back? Lets continue with today's update (16/12/2014) The latest threat to come from the hackers is Terror Attacks against people who watch the movie. They are recommending that you stay distant from cinemas and other screening locations showing this movie. Recently the hackers have promised a "Christmas Gift" of some kind. Everyone is expecting it to be more data leak, but after this shocking announcement, who knows what it could be. Here is a fully copy of the note from the Hackers The reason people are suggesting the "Christmas gift" could be an attack due to the hackers telling us to remember what happened on a tragic day, September 11th 2001. This threat was leaked along with another load of Sony e-mail, supposed to be from their CEO, Michael Lynton. There is no evidence that this threat is from the same group as previous attacks due to them contacting media anonymously through reusable e-mail addresses. People believe it is the same group as the information has been fairly consistent. There is no evidence currently to confirm how genuine these e-mails and the authenticity of the new note. My thoughts? Truthfully, I can't say what I want to, (To avoid possible warning post strikes). If this new information is genuine, this is actually quite terrifying how far these hackers are willing to go to get the movie banned. Also, to the hackers, Dick move comparing what you are planning to do to 9/11. Keeping in mind the unknown authenticity of this note, I don't know what's going to happen if it is genuine. Your thoughts? Please leave them down below!

Remember that recent Sony hack from "The Guardians of Peace", the one that leaked several of Sony's yet to be released films? Not the crap that is LizardSquad... Well, they have returned and have announced their demands. They have told Sony to PULL "The Interview" or Else. Rather menacing, isn't it? Rewind, Skip if you want: To those who don't know, The Interview is a film about attempting to assassinate North Korean Leader, Kim Jong-Un. Naturally, bring North Korea, they were not the happiest about this. Speculation is that North Korea is behind the attacks to get at Sony for this film. Back to Current News: North Korea has denied any involvement with the hacking, but is glad that something has happened. While the attack does have origins linking to Korean Soil, there is evidence that the attack took place at a Bangkok hotel. Recently an e-mail has been circling Sony employees, apparently from GoP, that is threatening employee families. This email DID NOT come from the "official" GoP, and I use the term "Official" loosely. Somebody wanted to impersonate the hacking group. Here is a quote of the latest message to come from GoP The latest message apparently also links to several gigabytes worth of data, that has apparently come from Sony Pictures official server, just to rub a bit more salt in to the wounds. My Thoughts? Judging from their latest message, I have a feeling North Korea is behind the attacks, not saying for certain, but a part of me is saying "yes". If this is the case, The film is just a joke. This hack is getting extremely out of hand now, especially about the way that it is being handled by GoP. This could seriously be the beginning of the end for Sony as we know it. Your Thoughts? lease leave them down below.
