just ring your banks and ask for new cards it shouldnt cost you anything, ive had my CC details stolen 3 times in the last 5 years, and altho the first time it was quite scary and worrying, the speed and efficency that my bank dealt with it each time im just not that bothered anymore, they refunded all fraudulent claims immediatley and sent me out new cards within 3 days. These were not small claims either the last time they charged over £1000 to the apple store. And as i say its never cost me a penny. 

You may think i must be incredibly lax with my credit card but i never let it leave my site in restaraunts or stores and i never use it in cash machines, which makes me believe the details must of been stolen each time from internet retailers and i only really shop at big brand electronic and game stores online. Which has lead me to believe that lots of online stores are probably compromised and the providers dont even know it, or at least never inform me!

have to then change all my accounts that use the same username/password, THEN


after that i'll head to the courthouse and change my last name, see if i can tweak my date of birth.  i'm going to move also to a new house. 

I know an exageration, there are 70 million psn accounts most will not be affected at all.  But you are mistaken about why this is all bad.

IT IS NOT THE CC DETAILS.  It is the personal information that worries people.  The fact that some hacker has basically everything about the person except their ssn.
