Playstation Network Info Stolen
If you are a member of Sony's Playstation Network, chances are pretty good that some hacker now has the following info about you (and 70 million other people as well):
name
address
country
e-mail address
birthdate
PlayStation Network/Qriocity password and login
handle/PSN online ID
Sony says there is a chance that the hacker(s) got purchase history, billing addresses, and possibly credit card data as well.

Yea, if any of you guys use the same login / password info on PSN as you do other place, go change them everywhere else NOW. Also, be on the looking out for scam emails, as the hacker(s) who stole the data are likely selling it.

Yeah this has been going on since last week. The main hacker group that shut it down before is denying their involvement but it's most likely them. A bunch of ****ing 40yr old nerds still living in mommy and daddy's basement. All because Sony went after someone that was able to jailbreak the PS3 to run other OS'

Just because this happened to Sony doesn't mean it can't happen to XBOX...just shows you that nothing in this day and age is safe. We are all taking a chance whenever we create an account somewhere. And with all the hackers out there that hate Microsoft, I'm surprised they haven't hacked XBOX Live yet. The good news is that Sony doesn't ask for your SSN. I just hope that's something these hackers can't obtain on their own with the info they already stole.

Maybe you'll care when someone duplicates your identity and goes on a little shopping spree which you will be responsible for clearing up? Maybe you won't, who knows.

Never said I didn't care and if that happened, yes I'd be very concerned. I check up on my accounts daily so hopefully I'd be able to spot if someone was charging things to my credit card.

I'd feel bad for the person that stole my identity, you'd have to be pretty pathetic to want to be me.

Hey PSN is free right!! Wonder how good the secuirity measures are on a Free network Vrs XBL?? I Gladly pay my 50.00 a year so I have peace of mind that my **** is safer then on a Free network were sony waits a week to let everyone know that the 70 million accounts on PSN were copied by hackers and more then likely sold to the highest bidderss on the market.. Like I said been on XBL for over 6yrs and never had an issue like this.. Was on PSN for 3 yrs and have had a leap year bug down my PSN and now my **** was more then likely hacked and my credit card info and my DOB, Address are out in someones hands other then my own.. Hopefully by deleting my account last month it took all my info off the network before this happened..

i dont have my credit/debit card info on there. nothing was ever worth buying and if i did want something i would prob just buy a psn gift card and use it that way. i doubt they will go on a shopping spree with some made up last name and an address that isnt correct. the only thing valid on my account is my first name and email address.

You actually think XBL isn't hackable? Please....if someone wanted to they could/would. PSN got hacked for certain reasons...it's still Sony's fault for not taking the proper security steps but they were a target for a reason.

As for having both systems, I still do not mind paying for the xbox live service. I get a lot with it and the servers are great. Sucks for PSN though! It is the third time they have been hacked this year! Rumor is PS+ will be the only way to get on in the next year or two!

in the ensuing wake of the ps3 being hacked for the banned consoles and jailbreak movement microsoft has unbanned all banned consoles in fear of a hack.

Nothing is Unhackable.. That being said I have been on XBL twice as long as PSN and my XBL account has never to my knowledge gotten hacked.. My PSN on the other hand... Maybe XBL has better secuirty measures as opposed to a Free online gaming network..
