That is not good.

Wow, It's worse than i imagined.

S**** gonna hit the fan now.

We greatly appreciate your patience, understanding and goodwill as we do whatever it takes to resolve these issues as quickly and efficiently as practicable.

If you have provided your credit card data through PlayStation Network or Qriocity, out of an abundance of caution we are advising you that your credit card number (excluding security code) and expiration date may have been obtained. For your security, we encourage you to be especially aware of email, telephone, and postal mail scams that ask for personal or sensitive information. Sony will not contact you in any way, including by email, asking for your credit card number, social security number or other personally identifiable information. If you are asked for this information, you can be confident Sony is not the entity asking. When the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services are fully restored, we strongly recommend that you log on and change your password. Additionally, if you use your PlayStation Network or Qriocity user name or password for other unrelated services or accounts, we strongly recommend that you change them, as well. Sony

If that truely is the case, I'm glad they took the service down before any more damage could be done. :shock: Yes, its an inconveniance, but completly nessessary

you see what bad manners get you sony? you see! :roll:

if 2 many things are compromised then this is the beginning of the end but like a dude on the site said, at least the light is at the end of the tunnel for some peopleeboyishere

So for the time being, let's put aside the apologist attitudes as well as the fanboy need to kick people when they're down. This is kind of big deal. I hope this serves as a PSA to take whatever steps you need to protect your info.... change un/pwd info on email accounts you may have associated with your PSN account. Take care of your CC info.

Hope it doesn't affect too many people too badly.

you see what bad manners get you sony? you see! :roll:

Just cause they dont pander to groups like Anon is a bad thing?These people are just digging themselves a bigger hole even if they arent involved they are gonna be brought into the loop and blamed since they publicly declared "war" on sony.Mind you thats the logic of the basement dweller anyway.

@Justin McElroy Your personal data and (maybe) credit card info were stolen and Sony didn't tell you for a week. The console wars are over. --- I am a multi-console owner, but I primarily play on PS3, but I totally agree with Justin McElroys statement.MethodManFTW

You got a point! That's pretty unacceptable. Then again, they probably thought they could secure everything much more quickly than they did.

Interesting turn of events, still no confirmation that any CC information has been compromised but Sony is stating it's a very real possibility. There is far too much information we are not privy too "For obvious reasons" for us to form a real conclusion on the scenario.

I'll continue to moniter my CC activity but without my security number and experation date I'm not sure how much they could do with that information.

*edit*

Oh and I am prepared to lulz at all the rage Sony is going to get about this, they themselves probably didn't get real information on what happened for some time after they took PSN down. Also epic lulz to people who will start championing the hackers again for this lovely display of "Support"

What about our trophies? Are they safe?Heil68

its a quote from a reese witherspoon movie called freeway...oh and the bad manners were against Hotz.

Doesn't sound too good. I have a feeling this won't be resolved until next week, thus making Sony a joke of a company

I don't think I used real info so its just my cc info that may be compromised, but thats easy enough to fix. 110million

is it tho?

What ifsomeone logs in and changes my password first ? Oh dear. I'm skeered.

There's no excuse for this at all, no matter how you rationalize it. If Credit/Debit Cards were compromised, I and many others will be angry. They could have let public know of this a lot sooner.

Yeah I'm loving how Sony has a new story every day on why it's down. I'm guessing the latest is actually the case and they have procrastinated the past week in telling people because they wanted to get it back online so people would shut up. Probably ran out of BS reasons and are forced to tell the truth

sony was not prepared... I feel bad for all those that only have a ps3.

Hackers are to blame... but sony got to arrogant here
