AFAIK no personal information taken has been used at all, no reported cases of money loss that could be linked to PSN hacking. They just publicly released email/password of all users of a few sony websites. If you have an account on any of those websites every password on any website you have under that email is compromised (most people use either the same or similar password). So you should change your passwords if you have any sony account to be safe.

He just linked the torrent site, 0 downloads as of yet.

I hope businesses around the world learn from Sony and take a really good look into the security of their systems. Unencrypted DBs should be a thing of the past.

I am glad I made a completely separate email for my PSN account.

The group, which calls itself Lulz Security, said on Thursday that it broke into servers that run the SonyPictures.com website, and then compromised the personal information of more than 1 million Sony customers.
Lulz Security said in a statement posted on its website that it hacked into a database that included unencrypted passwords as well as names, address and birth dates of Sony's customers.
This is the latest in a series of security headaches for Sony, which discovered in April that hackers had broken into its PlayStation Network and stole data from more than 77 million accounts.

I agree.

Now begins the countdown to the next attack

I don't get why nothing is encrypted there... seriously have they learned nothing from their hack on PSN network?
Its possibly a problem with them not taking these threats seriously... or is it that they simply don't care? or are they simply not capable of preventing this from happening?

Pretty lame of Sony, but really, I wish these glorified hacking groups would piss off.
Hacking under the guise of raising awareness about vulnerability of people's information is outrageous. Especially when they're releasing chunks info they obtained. Makes about as much sense as stabbing someone to raise awareness about the possibility of them being murdered.
It's quite obvious that these groups are made up of people who simply want attention, and really have no interest in the well being of those who they are hacking, despite their claims.
I'm on the PSN, my information is now potentially released on the internet somewhere. I didn't have a CC or a commonly used password on my PSN account, but it's still a bit unsavory. Additionally, I haven't been able to fully utilize the features of my PS3 for over a month.
These groups act like they're acting in the defense of users like me... But I can't say that I feel any 'safer', and I'm certainly not happy about it... And hell, my passwords and CC isn't even at risk. I can't imagine how others feel.

Yeah I can't wait to see the headline about felony charges and some 19 year old getting 20 years of prison.

If there's one thing I came away with from all of this is that I should always lie when applying for something and only change my information to the truth if I need something from the company, like support or a repair.
Whatever though. I tend to believe that assholes get their shit pushed in eventually, and these kids are going to get it from a big bastard in prison named Bubba when they drop the soap.

The data, carried in a plain text file posted to the hacking group's site, appeared to be at least partially genuine. The Associated Press called a number listed by LulzSec as belonging to 84-year-old Mary Tanning, a resident of Minnesota. Tanning picked up the phone, and confirmed the rest of the details listed by LulzSec – including her password, which she said she was changing.
"I don't panic," she told the AP, explaining that she was very seldom online and wasn't wealthy. "There's nothing that they can pick out of me," she joked.
If confirmed, the breach would deal yet another blow to Sony, which suffered a massive cyber-attack in April that targeted credit card information through its PlayStation Network and Sony Online Entertainment networks. Company executives on Thursday faced questions from U.S. lawmakers over why consumers weren't informed more quickly about the breach. Over 100 million user accounts were affected and the company only recently was able to restore service.

Wait passwords? Haven't been following this so much but the passwords can't be stolen right? I'm no master programmer but i've done some php/mysql coding and for passwords you always use some kind of one-way encrypting with salt so it doesn't show your password even if you get to the database.

Apparently Sony saves passwords of their uses unencrypted.

So... the forgiveness things have come out! And... I'm not entirely sure on this yet but I think I can download all of the games since my brother's PS3 has about 6 accounts on it? I've gotten the playstation plus subscription already on my account and went on one of my brother's accounts and checked to see if he still had everything and he did. Downloading LBP now
Edit- yes you can. i have 3 games on queue for download
