Sony says that while there is no evidence of credit card info being stolen, the company "cannot rule out the possibility," and advises users who have connected a card to their accounts that credit card numbers and expiration dates (though not security codes) may have been obtained by a third party. Sony's letter goes on to suggest actions an affected user should take, including being vigilant about communications that ask for personal information, changing any passwords shared with a user's PSN account, and contacting U.S. credit bureaus to issue a fraud alert. Sony has clarified to Gamasutra that this information seems to apply to all accounts, with Seybold telling us "Our investigation indicates that all PlayStation Network/ Qriocity accounts may have been affected." I would just assume that every piece of information you had on PSN has been compromised. | ||

Sounds like industry speak for "your credit card info was stolen but we haven't got the full word from our lawyers yet". | ||

This article says all of your information was stolen. Now might be a good time to change your credit cards, just to be safe. | ||

They deserve everything they get, and if there was a DDoS going on i would certainly be helping with it. It is time somebody stood up to these Multi-Nationals who think they can control everything. Hopefully Sony will learn not to fuck with the modding and hacking community because we will come and get them. Doesn't this post deserve a temp ban at least? User was warned for this post | ||

They should tell their customers from day1 "There was an intrustion, we dont know anything. Personal information might've been stolen we'll keep you updated." And not let the intruders running around with CC information for >1week . | ||

Figured I would allow sony the time to get everything under control before giving an explanation or, ya know, an estimated time we could expect the PSN to perhaps be running. But no. Still error 8000xxxxxx yada yada. after a fucking week. Anyone looking to buy a PS3 in perfect working condition?? (save for one minor aspect: the playstation network.) No socom 4 beta for me, no portal 2 online for me, no metal gear online for me, and my 1 month netflix free trial is COUNTING DOWN!! ; ( ; ( oh, the horror. I pay with Xbox through credit card but went out and bought a yearly card for PSN, oh how lucky I am. Does this effect PS3s that are Jailbreak'd? | ||

Hey now settle down. Piracy is a very grey situation and that has really nothing to do with the original intended topic for discussion. | ||

"Anonymous" are taking credit for this, and their reasoning is almost exclusively based on Sony wanting to control their system and control firmware/piracy. As for "great hacking skills", it is mostly due to shitty preventatives put in place on PSN, something a lot of people are flabbergasted about. Your CC#s were not even encrypted. | ||
