I have my CC info on there and I'm pretty pissed off about this because sony took so long to tell customers about this.

How the hell did they let this happen?

Apparently your credit card info is transmitted as an unencrypted text file.

This is ridiculous. I'm going to change all my PWs and watch my account like a hawk.

hopefully the hackers dont punish the gamers themselves

I used to be an xBox guy, but I got tired of fixing that damned piece of trash console.

[PanthaSan]

I know a guy who knows a guy who might get your info back to you for a slight finders fee....

J/K - That really sucks! I had a CC fraud issue back when and it was hell trying to get everything straightened out. Put fraud alerts on all of your CC's ASAP...

The new ones are fine. I've had mine crap out once, but MS fixed it for free even though I'd bought it 4 years earlier.

Makes us Xbox 360 owners happy. Boy, is Sony gonna take some bad PR.

Have they said how long it will be down? I would be willing to bet when it all gets back up and running they start charging for online.

[Awesomeness!!]

You get what you pay for. The thing is, PSN was poo before this. I can't believe people are so cheap they are willing to lag online with perfect connection. I'll give Bill Gates 15 bucks every 3 months with a smile on my face if that means I can enjoy a decent online experience. I bet the hackers where bored 9 year olds. Embarrassing, but not surprising..

[Hotsauce]

Anyone 360ers want to play some TDM....?

Got an email from Sony last night that really makes me feel like they still have no idea still what was really taken.

They basically said your credit card number could have been stolen, but not your security code.

They also told you to check your credit report and that they've given your name to the Bureaus so you can get a free fraud alert put on your poo.

This is an utter catastrofug.
