Has anyone had any phising scams sent or had their identity stolen? NO, bottom line is well people could see your info it wasn't their main objective and it was only there for like a few days, it's not a big deal and unless they have proof a hacker looked at your account info specifically it would do nothing but cause an unjustified panic

Just because they haven't done anything with the info doesn't mean they aren't.  It's less likely that they did it just to show they could or show a hole, it's much more likely they took the information for a specific reason. 

It just completely amazes me that some people will so blindly defend the things they love.  You shouldn't run and get your pitch forks but you should definately be aware of the dangers there. 

Many people use the same password for everything and someone knows that password and your email now.  Many of those people don't know that someone has that information.

You don't think this is a problem?

I got an email a day or two ago from them regarding this.

I'm not blindly defending it, there isn't a single confirmed case of anyone actually having the information written down, it's far more likely that seeing account info was just a side effect of what the intrusion was trying to accomplish and they don't actually have the info they just had the ability to see it which they may not even have been aware of 

You're starting to sound like a tobacco company executive.

I didn't receive anything from either of my 3 email addresses...

There were confirmed cases of tobacco causing cancer though, as it stands there is one person out of millions who had his credit card used by someone else (probably a friend not a hacker off psn) and absolutely no phising scams sent to peoples houses or identity theif bottom line is it's not that big of a deal 

how is this proven?  if my identity gets stolen this year, who's to say how it was stolen?

unless they catch the crook and he tells me, i have no idea of knowing whether this was related to this Sony incedent or the thousands of other ways he could have gotten my info.

Thats the big picture.  Out fo the MILLIONS of people around the world this year that get their ID theft, who are tehy to BLAME.  people love to throw the blame on someone.    And what easier way that to say, I have a psn account. its sony's fault

So what do you think they were trying to accomplish?

Why would they need the information written down? It's probably all on their hard drive ready to divided up and sold on the black market. That data could be mined for years. Having the names, addresses and personal information of 77 million accounts is probably worth millions of dollars, and that's without even directly thieving a single identity.
