Looks like it might not be hackers.

Is that rebug an example of the homebrew that people were denied?

So many rumours flying about atm, this fill your boots rebug, possibility of a security breach with psn user's credit card details, anonymous hacking the servers, whats next the CIA?

It would be an example of the stupidity of the PSN system administrators. Who doesn't check if a credit card's data is real or not?

Oh it's absolutely stupid if this turns out to be true, a big if though, but if I read the article correct its not normal user's credit card details not being checked, it's developers and journo's ( to review I guess ) , either way it's pretty silly.

Until its either made official or something more substantiated than a quote from a mod  it's just another rumour on the fear conveyor belt.

Btw if true, this is an example of something illegal.

Of course, but it could be considered gross negligence by Sony. It's like leaving your car parked with it's keys on, I had a neighbour that used to do so, and one day the car was not there. Obviously the guy who stole it made something illegal, but my neighbour made something completely stupid. I'm not sure if the insurance company paid it, based on negligence on his part.
