While hackers probably wouldn't do anything unlawful with the info, those guys were probably crackers, which means trusting their word is not the best idea.

would the info get stolen if players mod the ps3? Sorry if its the obvious questiion
|
This sucks... I wonder if Sony is going to make us pay for PSN now.
|
thanks for the added stress, sony...

I cancelled my credit card. I don't think it's being that paranoid either -- waiting 10 business days for a new one is no big deal. When I called them, they said they have been hearing a lot about the "Sony problem" today from different sources (and of course CC owners); "yes, the CC information is compromised", "No, it's nothing to worry about".
I can't think of a good reason not to cancel it.

So I guess this ends the PS3 > Xbox/ Xbox > PS3 debate for a while LOL
|
shit.
luckily I never have nor will buy anything from the store.
I use my ps3 for netflix ;;;;

77 million accounts... what do you do with 77 million pieces of personal information? spam? electoral fraud?

Uhg I really really don't want to cancel my card since im overseas right now ;-;
I dont even know if they send BoA cards overseas
EDIT: Wait, do they have my CVC Code on the card?
If they don't I dont see any reason to cancel my account...

Canceling your CC isn't being paranoid. I mean even if it IS 77 million people, what if the one they chose was you?
I have an xbox, so I'm good lol.

Without the security code, though, how useful is a credit card number? Any transaction without a physical card requires it.
Seems like the thing to be more worried about is identity theft / fraud. The only thing that surprises me right now is that PSN never asked for social security numbers. Seems like everyone else does, these days.

no they specifically said the hackers didn't get the security (CVC) code.

You sell it to the highest bidder. Why take the trouble of using peoples credit cards, sending spam when there's entire groups out there specialised in it. 77mil details are worth quite a lot.
|
Hmm, so without a CVC sounds like 77 million people won't have to get new cards?
|
If the hackers really are malicious they'll sell your cc for like $5 but it's pretty damn unlikely anything is going to happen anytime soon.

They did it to scare away customers from Sony. This is just an attack on Sony as a company, not on any private customers like myself and all the other people who have a PS3. An official statement from the hackers regarding this have been made, but I can't seem to find it right now. Of course the media needs to scare you as much as possible, so they won't publish this as much.
Think what you want, but I'm not scared that any of the hackers will use my money/info.

Considering that they have been hiding this for quite a while, I wouldn't be surprised if this was a lie.

It appears to me that consoles are still not ready to enter the grown-up world of Internet.

You'd have to be pretty damn paranoid to cancel your credit card over this.
And even more paranoid to change your name and move to a different country.
