There's no definitive answer about the credit card stuff but it sounds like it was safe. It was encrypted(though it was probably a half-assed encryption). The network being up or not isn't going to have any bearing on if someone has your credit card info. If they have it then they have it. All signs are pointing to just name/user name password/birthday.
If you google it there are quite a few articles on it that are saying the same thing.

never had any card info on psn due to not owning any cards, and the user name I use there I only use for games and forums and even so it's 1 letter off. All I care about is being able to play my games online again, other than that no biggie.

If people are that upset about not being able to play online(and after reading blogs there are plenty) then they need to get a life. It's pretty bad when people are more upset that they can't play garbage games like Black Ops online than having their personal info taken.

In another year this will be a distant memory like that time XBox live went down for two weeks a few years ago, I have a personal beef with XBox live and while PSN has screwed me here at least it was kind of an accident, while Xbox just kept charging me for 3 years even when I called them every year to tell them I was overseas and would tell me they could not give me my money back but would make sure to cancel me for the next year.

Stop it, Xbox, much like the LS1 was hand built by God. Talking bad about a game system like that will give you a free ticket to hell. How dare you talk bad about Microsoft lol

Except if someone tries to use your personal infor to open a credit card account or get a passport to get into the USA then it wont be a distant memory for you. Thats what I am worried about. I remember my antiterroism training in the Military and how they get peoples info to use for falser DL's, Passports and what not. They dont need alot of info to get a fake identity.. Like I said before thats what scares me.. I trusted Sony with my personal information and they screwed me.. Thats the beef I have. Its not about what system is better or what online gaming is better to me its about trust and Sony has lost mine.
You might see this as overreacting but thats just me. Nothing might come out of this but there is still a chance that my info has been sold to someone and who knows what will happen or what they will use it for..

Went to Gamestop today and they told me that there has been a huge increase of people trading in there PS3's for Xbox 360's.. They also told me that PSN was using outdated security software which had no firewalls and that the Hackers are starting to put peoples personal info up on internet websites and they threaten to take down the PSN again once it gets back up!! Saw on CNN today as well that this will cost Sony as much as 1.25 billion to fix. They also said Sony is offering Identity theft protection at no cost to PSN users. My wife and I might get into that well thats if Sony is using an already established IDentity theft agency. If Sony just started one up with there software and service no thanks...

Sony is setting up the Identity Protection with a 3rd Party company. It's all over the internet, google gives you like 500+ hits.

Well as long as Sony isnt using any of there software then we might look into it.. Also read on the internet that PS3 trade ins are up over 200% from a month ago!! My buddy at gamestop said it was a huge increase but damn. Thats not a good sign for sony.

No it's not...and some of the game makers are getting pissed off too. The thing that bugs me is that most of the idiot gamers out there are whining that they can't play their games online, boo-hoo, go outside and ride a bike then. They're not upset that their info is out all over the place now. It's kind of scary that relatively few people care about the actual act and it's security issues, they care more about being able to fire up their online game. Idiots.

Absolutely it is lol. Just play single player games, use it as a blu-ray player and then when PSN comes back on enjoy the online goodness.

The 3rd party Sony is using is Debix. From what I've read they are pretty reputable. Sony is supposed to be sending out an email communication soon to all its PSN users with an activation code that will allow you to sign up with Debix's ID protection service for 12 months for free.
As for people being more concerned about playing games rather than their identity, it's pretty sad. I've already canceled the credit card account number I had associated with PSN and had them issue me a new number. I suggest others do it as well. It doesn't hurt your credit report/score if it is canceled for security reasons.
