Fuck.
I'm calling my big sister... her son bought games via PSN a while back, gotta make sure she didn't loan him her credit card.
Annnnnd I just bought myself a PSP and downloaded a PSX game for it just two weeks ago.
So now what, call the bank/credit card company and let them know?
"I am way too lesbian for that shit."
It's probably too late to delete my info from the account?
...oh wait, I can't even log on to do that. Great.
This is seriously not okay.
And now no one can bitch about paying for Xbox Live, because now you'll be paying for PSN too
Seriously though, Sony's in deep shit if credit card numbers were indeed taken. I hope no one actually gets their numbers fucked with. Check those charges!
They said there is no evidence that credit card info has been stolen, but they haven't ruled it out yet, so better to be safe than sorry. I used a debit card or PSN card for all my purchases, so I don't have to worry about some ass trying to run up my bill, but I will be monitoring my account for the next few months for purchases.
They do have other info such as passwords, security questions, address, email, phone number, etc. though, so be wary. And be sure to change all your passwords and whatnot as soon as it goes back online.
I used both my Money Mastercard (credit/debit linked to checking) and my AMEX Gold on PSN. I am not concerned about AMEX, because I know they will just remove the charges. I am, however, worried about my debit card because, like you, I don't have a lot of money, but they do let me go up to -$500 with fees attached to every debit/credit under $0. I'd pay more in fees then the hackers get in products!
The fact that it took Sony nearly a week to inform customers that our info has been stolen is unacceptable. They were just trying to cover their ass over the whole thing until yesterday the psx-scene rumors went mainstream. People started to realize what really happened, and Sony finally came clean to an extent. You can be assured that your credit card info was taken as well, they just aren't admitting it yet.
I will only give them credit for taking their system offline... but if you believe the psx-scene take, Sony only did so after people figured out how to obtain all PSN content for free, not because user info was at risk. That was apparently already compromised.

People are reporting bank accounts being emptied on Kotaku. I sincerely hope it's just bullshit.
What a fuck up.
Thank god hackers love Microsoft and would never hack the Xb...oh wait.

If it's coming from Kotaku users, then it's more than likely bullshit, I haven't heard anything like that anywhere else.
Blame the hackers, not Sony. It was a complete dick move for Sony to hold the information for however long, but it's not their fault that people decided to hack them over whatever bullshit vendetta they have against them.
I'm pretty sure I never entered my CC info into PSN, because I have never bought anything. Lets hope not..
I have my debit info stored on PSN, bought over $400 worth of stuff. Im not even worried. Anon isnt after me... Aint even mad.

The first two posts made me laugh.
But yeah, damn you Sony, and damn you self-entitled hackers.
Huh.
Welp... time to call the bank and change all my passwords. Thanks Sony.
