I really hope so; it was really careless of them to have such low security.
I'm glad they only have very basic information from me...

automatically in your transaction history.

Going to warn all my buddies with PS3's that they are probably having their identities stolen as we speak

Not all of your data may of been stored, it could of just been the actual CC card/Exp without the 3 digit security code, that said, there is only a finite amount of 3 digit codes....given enough time a computer could find it with a brute force attempt.

So everyone who got their info stolen will get a couple dollars or something when there is a settlement? woo hoo.

To sum up my frustration

So since I cancelled my card that I used on psn 6 months ago, I don't need to worry, right? I will still change my password though.

How would one sue Sony? The information was stolen, not lost. I'm not much of a hacker, nor do I know much about it, but I'm sure that with enough determination anything could be hacked, no matter the security measures in place.

Some blog has got what appears to be an IRC transcript of intruders into the PSN network discussing their hack. It looks pretty authentic to me.
If the transcript is authentic, it's reassuring that the hackers don't seem to be criminals out to steal your personal details, just nerds having some fun breaking into computers. What's scary - and the hackers seem as perturbed as everyone else - is how lax Sony's security is. They went to great lengths to DRM the hell out of the Playstation 3, and then used it to store people's credit card details in plaintext on an unpatched webserver on the internet. What were these morons thinking?
