PSN Compromised (Euro Hack)

[Katlan]

I honestly wouldn't worry about your CC info. All/most banks are pretty awesome with refunding fradulent charges and acting fast if your fast to report it. Changing CC info, canceling cards and updating everything that uses that card is a huge pita (it is at least for me since that CC is tied to like 10 diff online accounts, if not more).

Just watch your bank statements every month and if you notice irregular charges then take action. In the end you don't lose anything since banks will refund that money while they do an investigation.

i got an email this morning, not going to overreact to the whole situation though.

Pretty much this.

I've been considering dumping my account anyway due to the bank charging fees to maintain the account now.

Shit like this is why I only ever buy stuff from PSN using prepaid cards and never used a CC. Plus, my password for PSN was something I made up JUST for PSN. My paranoia paid off!

My PS3 is busted anyways, so I haven't really felt the downtime. I was planning on buying a new one to replace it, but after this I'm not sure anymore.

Are people receiving this email?

I have a PSN account, have a card on it, and have purchased stuff off of PSN but haven't received any email notification. As unlikely as it is maybe I'm in the clear?

I'm in the same situation, no email and had allthe info there.

got a PSN account and a card on it but i kind of check my card statement online quite often in this world where i use it for free trips and rewards etc etc. So not really concerned plus playing AO (Atlantica Online) i get a call everytime i spend 20 bucks so it is highly annoying but "safe"

Bullshit number is bullshit. Raise your hand if you have more than one PSN account for cross-region PSN Store access?

I have 3 PSN accounts lol.
one for NA, one for Japan and one for Asia (everywhere other than japan, mainly Hong Kong, Taiwan and South-East Asia), since I live there.

I got an email on the email linked with my Asia account, so i'm guessing they're not taking chances with regions and that all PSN regions were compromised.

The Credit Card issue isn't so much of an issue if its a credit card. It IS a problem for people who use debit cards tho (like me) because the way fraudulent charges work with them are different. Still, if you're with a reputable bank, they should still block random fraudulent charges to your card or call you to ask about them. I'm guessing you can actually call them up and inform them to put your CC on some kind of higher alert status

Two NA, one JP, one EU, only one that ever had credit card info stored and I've already requested a new CC# and put a stop on the old one.

Yeah. 70 million is a ridiculously blown up number due to duplicates. I have 3 for cross region downloads (EU, US and JP). But others also have multiple for when they get bored of being high rank in a game and make a new one to stomp on newbies. Or even just people who feel like changing their username.

[Rokku]

Yeah, there's no way in hell there's 77 million unique PSN accounts, crazy number is crazy.

Your avatar is amazing sir. That is all.

[Moridam]

Yeah I've got like three or four accounts, main, couple alt/troll accounts and a JP login I've used like once ever. Most of my PS3-owning friends have multiple logins as well.

[Ragnell]

I have i think 6 accounts, 2 region ones, 2 for each ps3 and 2 of my friends account for game sharing

[Pikarya]

I have two, one inactive and one for use when I get on a ps3 >.>

both have a cc on it but I think its old/expired

[Insanecyclone]

2. 1 US & the other JP. Don't care if the JP version gets taken, only used it for a couple demos.
