OMG! I don't play racing games.... Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! D:

No offense... But whenever I read your pro-microsoft drivel I can't help but think of this:

I assume you haven't used a modern Windows PC in the last decade? It's actually stable, feature rich and patched often, whilst being the most secure Desktop OS. It wins all the hacking competitions between it, MacOS and Linux by taking the longest to be exploited.

As for Internet Explorer? It's a fantastic browser that lets me download Firefox, that's all I use it for.

Anyone running Windows XP these days, needs to have a reality check.
The Operating System was released in 2001, 13 years ago, with support now no longer offered on Desktop/Laptop computers.
Heck, most new games and software now-a-days don't even support the OS.

You can also avoid all Maleware/Spyware/Viruses by simply using common sense, which ironically, doesn't seem to be that common, thus if you catch one of those nasties? It's your own damn fault.

You just don't go to a brothel and not wear a condom and expect to get away without contracting an STI/STD.

There is nothing to hope for.... the compensation for this hack is Driveclub x_x

you need to chillax and stop taking it so personally, i brought up the tidbit about windows XP as purely an anecdote about the state of the internet and the viruses rife across it.

I simply stated a "an xp machine on a fresh install connected to the net will contract a virus or malware within 10 seconds of being connected", that's an average, the above graph tamron posted is "time to own" which is the time it takes for the computer to be completely taken over and at the mercy of a remote user/drone, the graph shows a good 90% of that time frame of TTO being well below 4 minutes, to simply be infected or suffer a malware exploit that time frame would be even less.

Microsoft no longer support windows XP, to it's left to the user to defend themselves if they actually want to, for an unknown reason, use windows xp on the internet today.

Again, this is just a casual tidbit of info, so stop taking it like i just insulted your mother or something.

I doubt it is serious at all.  Just looks like it could be a possibility if im reading correctly.  I wouldnt worry about it too much, though if you do worry about that stuff I just wouldnt store your Credit Card Information on your account.

That's why "potential" is in the thread title, yes.

Ok thanks.  I don't ever save my credit details on anything anyway

Oh no worries, i have no issue with your title or anything like that(more so with the comments).  People just need to make a judgement call regardless of what company it is.  

Well, you know what they say about assumptions.  You should also know that vulnerabilities have nothing to do with features, or stability.  Not to mention that many of those 'patches' are made to fix the vulnerabilities I'm talking about.  Such as the holes the NSA has used, or that the Russian's were using most recently in the Zero Day Sandworm exploit.  Those are only fixed, when someone notices them and points them out.

I use PSN cards anyway.
