How the hell did that happen? In what format do they store it? salt + md5?


if that's true, they are so fucked lol

Although we are still investigating the details of this incident, we believe that an unauthorized person has obtained the following information

Patrick Seybold // Sr. Director, Corporate Communications & Social Media
While there is no evidence at this time that credit card data was taken, we cannot rule out the possibility.

The console might not recover from this, we could be seeing the death (or at least serious maiming) of a product.

It doesn't say so in any of the links in the OP, but I've read in several other sites and my local papers saying the number of compromised user accounts sits at 77 million; added that to the OP.

Pretty happy I got an Xbox 360 instead of PS3. Also the people in charge of PSN must be real idiots if they didn't do anything to protect all that private information. It'll be interesting to see how this works out for them.

Was this an anon breach? Seems like too big a coincidence after they just declared war on sony.

I would bet on it.

This is actually good news in a way as well, now it will force stricter laws for privacy and data protection. I hate facebook and the likes for it, as well as google, yahoo, psn, xbox, etc... for collecting privacy information. This needs to stop globally and hopefully this major screwup will force governments to bring in the iron fist and introduce some privacy protection laws and forbid all these crap companies from stealing and keeping private information against our will.
