Funny thing is, my friend told me a week ago that one of his college professors (some computer class I think) talked specifically about the Sony hack in his class and he even spread the misinformation that credit card information was stolen from PSN. My friend believed him, of course (he's not a console gamer and knows almost nothing about consoles). Still, there's something wrong when professors read something like that and decide to spread it to their students.

pezus, wasnt it confirmed by Sony themselves that credit card information was compromised?

pezus probably blocked out anything negative against Sony. What you don't know can't hurt you, right?

when was it confirmed that credit card info had been stolen? as far as i know it was only ever confirmed that it may have been stolen

the closest thing would be  http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2011/apr/29/playstation-network-hackers-credit-cards not 100% confirmed but likely.
