Please, like anonymous could pull something like this. The only thing they are capable of is DDoS attacks. This is the work of higher powers than the 15 year old nerds that make up anonymous.

Can you direct me to the site/article where Anonymous claimed responsibility for this?

No, because they denied responsibility for this.

This is why Anonymous is so dangerous, because people think they are just 15 year old nerds.

Before I do anything, can you confirm what happened. From what I gather: During the April attack, those 12,700 creditcards were stolen and Sony has just realized this now, and is reporting it. This was a PSN attack.
Last night, there was another attack, and it is being sorted out now. This was a Sony Online Entertainment attack.
Is this true? Because PSN is different from Sony's online MMO stuff.

if u keep an eye on your credit card statement or through online banking, i dont know how you would get screwed. any major credit card company would just take the fraud charges off your credit card.
i have even had 2 debit card withdrawals that wasn't done by me and my bank just gave me back the money.
people are way too paranoid with this shit.

Sony realized that there was an attack on PSN and shut it down for "maintainance". Last night there Sony shut down SOE servers and soon after there were reports that 12,000 CC numbers were stolen. Many new outlets just linked it with the reportedly second attack last night. But it is now revealed that the 12000 CC numbers were form the first attack. Sony has yet to confirm the second attack.

thats it, I'm changing my cc number tomorrow, doesn't help that I found out that proving your credit card has been compromised in the Netherlands can be quite tough compared to the US, I'm not taking the chance.

I feel lucky that the card I was using on PSN literally expired last month.

Hmm, well I guess if they were hit again we should keep things in this thread? Can you clarify the OP with what we know, so new readers will understand.

Thank god my mom didn't agree to buy me a Playstation 3... whew. Guess I'll stick with PC for now.
This won't go down well for them, and this is already pretty bad for them. They will lose thousands of customers from this slip up.
I am VERY concerned for my cousins security though. He downloaded several games for his PSP, I don't know if they were free games that didn't require personal information, but... man.

Done, but its all very confusing with conflicting reports, timelines and extent of damage.

This stuff was taken in the original breach, they just didn't notice until now.

Sony's PR department got their work cut out for them.
