Security warning: PSN Hacked

[ghostveil]

So Sony's PSN was hacked, and any account information you ever gave them should be considered compromised, completely. Sony has finally admitted that all customer data, including names, addresses, email addresses, and ESPECIALLY passwords and security question answers have been compromised, and are in the hands of the hacker that hacked into their network.

Additionally, Sony does not know if credit card information is compromised, so you should assume that it is. If you gave Sony your credit card information for anything on the PSN, assume that the hacker has your credit card number, security number and expiration date.

I'll be spending half the day changing passwords on a number of sites and cancelling and ordering a new credit card...

good thing I never set up a PSN.

Well fortunately the credit card Sony has on file for me is expired, so I don't need to worry too much about that.

Never signed up for PSN in the first place and I don't own a PS3. Best wishes go out to those who DO however. Hopefully the damage isn't to severe.

Yeah about 60 million accounts compromised I thought you all had heard.
