Thread: Epic PS3/Sony ownage

Although we are still investigating the details of this incident, we believe that an unauthorized person has obtained the following information that you provided: name, address (city, state, zip), country, email address, birthdate, PlayStation Network/Qriocity password and login, and handle/PSN online ID. It is also possible that your profile data, including purchase history and billing address (city, state, zip), and your PlayStation Network/Qriocity password security answers may have been obtained. If you have authorized a sub-account for your dependent, the same data with respect to your dependent may have been obtained. While there is no evidence at this time that credit card data was taken, we cannot rule out the possibility. 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.

I can't help but think that the removal of the "Other OS" option was when all the interest in hacking the PS3 started.

Happily I've got Steam to fall back on.

Several Spanish papers are reporting that the credit card numbers for Playstation Network users are being hawked over in Europe.

Hahahaha, ah, yeah, that's a good one.

Oh, you're serious about corporate responsibility.. in America? The most that will come out of it is a class-action lawsuit where each person will get a $5 credit on PSN.
