The fact that the Playstation Network has been down for five days now is troubling for many PS3 and PSP owners. However, even more troubling may be whether or not any credit card or personal information was affected by the "external intrusion" of the network.

According to spokesman Satoshi Fukuoka, Sony has not yet been able to determine if the credit cards or personal information of users has been hacked. He did tell PC World that the company is conducting a "thorough investigation" into the outage that includes whether or not credit cards and personal information was compromised. Fukuoka also said that Sony would contact users immediately if that is the case.

Sony has declined to give any additional information about the attack other than to say that they are rebuilding PSN and that it is a time intensive process. No estimate has been given of when the network will be back up.

Some reports suggest that the attack on the Playstation Network was so deep that servers were damaged and Admin Dev accounts were hacked. If true, it doesn't seem far-fetched that credit card and personal information could have been hacked as well.

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

Lawsuits incoming!

Guess I am screwed for now, but I should keep checking my card just to be safe. 

It's a danger but it's really speculation at this moment, nothing to get worked up over yet.  I'm not saying you shouldn't watch your credit card activity just in case, but I wouldn't assume they got your information yet.

One user out of millions isn't proof, if we started reports of hundreds of users then I would be getting worried.  These credit card stories have been nothing more than stories meant to scare people and get hits on a website.

l.....o....l.....

So one random guy says he got his money jacked, and it's enough for them to make a random article about it?

If I made a post here on VGC saying that I had lots of money lost in fraudulent withdrawals, would these guys make an article for that too if they saw it?

Until there's hard proof for this, I'm not buyin it.

Here's the original post:

Gotta love how he gives literally no info about it and doesn't post afterwards. Glad to see the rest of NeoGaf isn't stupid enough to believe it. Not glad to see retarded websites like this writing about it.

As I mentioned in another thread,Someone managed to get my my debit card details and tried to make a transaction, but luckily my banked declined it as it was suspicious.

It could be a coincidence, but it would be quite a big coincidence as it has happened at the same time as a PSN security breach. I havn't heard of this happening to anyone else though.

This is good. Haven't had my fill of PSN is a disaster zone "news".....

If they take the 4 cents I have on PSN account I will be mad!! >:(
