Not true at all. I never give out my passwords, or log-ins if I can avoid that but that is often the same as display name. I also very rarely give out my email address so it is unlikely you would get that either unless I felt you had a reason to email me. You sure as hell wouldn't get any potential answers I would give to password recovery questions. There is absolutely no reason to leave that data unencrypted.

I actually already changed my passsword on all the other stuff involving money and the accounts I frequently use, so it doesn't matter.  It took a whopping 5 minutes.

Can you imagine what would happened if World of Warcraft went offline for a week or more?

People would probably die.

So they encrypted the credit card details, that shows that they were'nt negligent and that they actually had some sturdy security backing it up, which also means that the hackers most likely haven't been able to get the credit card details or they are struggling to break the encryption, which could take years of effort on their part if it was what I'm guessing it was. It also shows that these hackers aren't the fourteen year olds playing around in their basements that we all so quickly identify thems as, they planned the fuck out of this thing and knew what they were doing. I also don't think that this has any direct connection to Anonymous, it may be indirectly connected, but Anon as a group didn't actually do it.

Yea, I don't think it will be nearly as bad as people are making it out to be.  A lot of the lawsuit that was made even has arguments that Sony wasn't doing their job in regards to security, when now, I'm thinking that isn't necessarily true.  I think them saying this alone has made the story get 100x better, at least for Sony.

Man I wasted gas getting another one :/

Did you actually already get a new card?

Yuppers. I have like the best bank in the world. Took them two minutes and I didn't have to pay.

What's your new number? lolz, j/k
