They have said they only found out about the personal information yesterday, and released the information today.

Yeah, that came after the initial announcement though, and after the thread was posted.

Of course they did. And why would Sony - the company that put hidden root kits that installed without user's permission or awareness on numerous audio CDs - lie about this?

There's been a lot of anecdotal reports floating around that people who use PSN have had compromised credit cards during the past week. Whether it is coincidence, straight up BS, or the truth...it still does not change the fact that the personal information should have been better protected.



We're sorry.

I'm just so glad that I never used my credit card on their PSN Store. I was THIS close to buying the Scott Pilgrim game on PSN. Now I'll just buy those cards at GameStop and use them. And I'm Glad that they are making improvements to their service.

As far as a reason for unavailability, sabotage and theft is a pretty decent reason.

It's things like this that make me not trust merging my technology with my ability to control my money.

PSN... Can we pull over and get some dinner? I at least like to be wined and dined before you FUCK ME!
