From your own link. "Update: Kotaku points out that the document of leaked data linked to in the Twitter account appears to be identical to one posted on the Internet back in March. This suggests that PSN -- and the date therein -- is safe, though we're still waiting to hear back from Sony for confirmation and will update when we hear back."

It's up on my side. I live in Portugal btw, but I can't tell you whether or not other countries have been affect or not. Mine hasn't so far. It seems to be a data leak, not an outage like the last time I think.

How many people from Portugal are there here :shock: I'm one of them too :3

Can't be good business to keep giving free games away to all these people who don't buy games in the first place.

I was born in Lisbon and moved to the US when I was 3, which is why English is now my main language, but I live in Portugal again now. :o

I changed my password to be safe, but honestly since i don't have a credit card on my account, besides the network downtime i had a whole lot of nothing go down the first time. If this is even real, I should be safe.

Don't forget that SOE is still profitable for them. Hell, Sony just happen to be releasing their biggest and potentially most profitable exclusive as a F2P game on PC.

Their losses overall overshadow any of their profitable divisions. Clearly their not doing well at all.

This was proven to be fake.

Update: Kotaku reports that the list in the Pastebin doc is a copy of a seemingly unrelated list of email addresses from March. Still, when was the last time you changed your password?

This might be fake. Here's hoping it is, seeing as my f***ing information is still on Sony servers.

You are right, if the PS4 is a flub at release similar to the PS3, I would surprised if they released a PS5.

Lol at lemmings creaming their pants over this. Here's another update. "Update 3: Anonymous has deleted the Tweet claiming that it hacked the PSN. You can see the image of the Tweet as it existed in the original story below. We're still waiting to hear back from Sony, but the removal of the Tweet is probably all the confirmation we need that this was fake. We'll update with any further developments if and when they occur."

Update 4: Sony has given IGN the following statement: "Weve confirmed that the recent claim that PlayStation Network was illegally hacked and that customer passwords and email addresses were accessed is completely false." All is well! Le false..

It's still up for me....dumb thread is dumb.

IGN didn't say it was hacked either.

But it's always best to change your password just to be safe. Wether you use PSN or XBL.
