No activity on my card, i think i'm okay.

To find out which card you were using with PSN search your email for "DoNotReply​@ac.playsta​tion.net"

If your current card is there the best step to take is to get a new number. Most organized CC theft is done in small amounts across thousands/hundreds of thousands of cards and you get bled slowly until you notice. If the crooks are that good (and every indication is that they were, in this case) they won't try to spend it all at once, as it were, since that triggers most banking systems anti-fraud traps and shuts down the cards before they can be used. Check for small $0.01 pending transactions in the next few months if you're not willing to change your CC#

You may not see your info used for a couple months either. After Gawker was hacked, it took about 2 months time before people tried to access my e-mail account.

Worst part is I don't remember my own PSN password, so changing it is going to be fun.

Same, But I know my PSN pass isnt the same with the account linked with it, so I dont give a fffffffuck

[Ragnell]

Compensation for what?

PSN+ users thats who

Also Didnt some people try to Sue MS a few years back when XBL when down for like a day?

[Insanecyclone]

2 weeks. Some people were all "we're gonna sue microsoft!" kinda like how things currently are now about PSN.

Hmmm, I don't see much of a problem in regards to credit cards. I've had my bank account accessed before without my permission and they just refunded my money and my shit was fine. I'd imagine if they did take CC info, when you have some millions of people going to their banks to report it, they won't think your lying.

Although I am slightly concerned about whether or not my information has been accessed, well, can't be helped now.

The PlayStation Network being down has lead to a ton of rumors and speculation, and one of the main targets of suspicion yesterday, before it was revealed that a security breach was behind the outage, were the creators of the PS3 firmware replacement program called Rebug.

Rebug is geared toward adding the functions of a PS3 devkit to a retail console without losing retail features. Many speculated on the internet that security breaches enabled by modifying Rebug could have resulted in the PlayStation Network being taken offline by Sony.

In light of the real reasons for the Network being taken down, I asked the Rebug Team, creators of the software, whether the software could be used to steal users’ credit card data or other personal info. “NO. NO. NO.” They responded (via email). “Thanks to irresponsible media outlets and scene members a few different rumours have been started that have no truth.”

According to the team, another untrue rumor about their software is that it allows users are to enter fake credit card data and add funds.

I asked the hackers whether Rebug could be used to get free content from the PlayStation Network, and was told: “Straight out of the box, No. Unfortunately a few days after Rebug’s release, tutorials and games lists started to appear explaining how it could be done.”

“The holes that certain Rebug users are getting through could quite easily be fixed without downing an entire network both for developers and retail users worldwide,” the hackers said. “We believe it is something more serious than Rebug.”

I wanted to take this opporuntity to clarify a point and answer one of the most frequently asked questions today.

There’s a difference in timing between when we identified there was an intrusion and when we learned of consumers’ data being compromised. We learned there was an intrusion April 19th and subsequently shut the services down. We then brought in outside experts to help us learn how the intrusion occurred and to conduct an investigation to determine the nature and scope of the incident. It was necessary to conduct several days of forensic analysis, and it took our experts until yesterday to understand the scope of the breach. We then shared that information with our consumers and announced it publicly this afternoon.

[Isiolia]

Well, if they take the typical Sony path, they'll just remove PSN as a feature, right?

[BadKarma]

Even Kevin Butler cant salvage this.
