Wow, this is just so ridiculous, I suppose I might as well begin changing passwords.  Fuck you sony.

This looks and sounds terrible. What is the worst case scenario for this?

Kevin Buttler's reaction after watching the news and people trying to catch him to beat him up for letting hackers get their info:

I bet they have regrets taking out the other os. It's been nothing but trouble for them since they did that.

All data that a PSN user has stored on PSN is in the hands of someone, or some group. For all PSN users. That's just the worst case, and it may be that no card numbers were taken.

That is a shit load of passwords to change.

And this would be a good time to bring up this guide:

I used it when the whole Gawker password fiasco came up and while it was a major hassle, now things like this don't worry me as much since every website has a different password with uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters.  I'm annoyed that my PSN info is comprised and pissed the my credit card info may be, but at least I know all my other stuff is safe.

Seriously, it will take about an evening to fix everything to use the above guide but it is very much worth it.

Oh my, hacker log is leak:

I actually don't think I have that many different websites that I use my password for.  The ones I already changed in the last 5 minutes are the major ones I care about.  Any and all others I either A.) Don't care about, or B.) I may care, but don't remember them, and they don't have anything to do with money, so there is really nothing terrible that could happen.

Same here, I changed the ones regarding money, and will not bother with the rest.
