That would totally suck, if credit card information was taken. I guess I learned I shouldn't save credit card information on sony devices. (I still trust microsoft, and maybe nintendo....maybe.) 

PSN User Had $600 in Fraudulent Withdrawals From Debit Card

You can't really be that dumb.  Your credit card info isn't anymore safe with MS or Nintendo.

I suspect if card details were a risk Sony would be notifiying PSN accounts via email that have credit card details registered asking them to check for fraudulent activity.

You would think so huh. Or maybe they can just make a blog post and hope you guys see it. I mean Sony is the most benevolent and honest corporation out there.

That's my point.  I mean, as an aside, they should have emailed just about the shutting down of PSN, but my point is if they knew credit card details had been comprimised I believe procedure would pretty much demand they email you immediatly they could.  Certainly credit card companies would expect immediate warning if card details were known to have been comprimised.

The blog notes they don't believe credit card info has been stolen just personal info, and hence it was more down to their choice to email or not (they made the wrong choice IMHO as I've noted).
