yeah this is pretty crazy. whoever did this better hope they can hide, b/c if they get caught they are going to jail for a long time...

supposedly limited access is going to be restored to the PSN this week, so we can at least change our PWs and review what information we had up there... but todays announcement of SOE being hacked, oh boy so much irony. haha.

Re: Sony warns of almost 25 million extra user detail theft

I caved in last year around Memorial Day and bought a PS3, signed up for the network and dicked around on the Home shit with the crazy avatars... been using it as a DVD player since LULZ.

so, if they do have my info on file, it's from 2 houses ago... meh.

Re: Sony warns of almost 25 million extra user detail theft

I'm pretty shocked that people would use a credit card to make direct purchases online through the PS3 network. It might be a bit inconvenient to buy a redeemable card, but that's always been how I roll.

Also, this outage must be an absolute bitch to the people that bought DC Heroes Online.

thankfully, I never entered my CC info... I'd rather just buy physical games.
