Play it safe and just ask your bank for a new card.

I guess I have to, but it takes 2 freaking weeks to get an new one. My CC is also my bank card... This sucks.

From the link:

" If you have provided your credit card data through PlayStation Network or Qriocity, out of an abundance of caution we are advising you that your credit card number (excluding security code) and expiration date may have been obtained."

That sounds like that they know that they have leaked the information... at least to me.

Yes, the hackers have your credit card, but it is encrypted

Sig thanks to Saber! :D

I don't have such a mail. Maybe that is USA-only or something?

But I googled and wtf is that identity theft protection? I don't see how that helps me at all? It does not cover stolen credit card.

sorry, I assumed you lived in the US, but they are looking into different firms in EU. Unless you don't live there, then you are kind of just screwed :P

Antabus said:

Yeah...

I don't mind them getting my name, address and such, because those can be obtained anyway. Can you give me a legit link which confirms that that information is indeed decrypted?

I am under the impression that the information is not decrypted at all, just hashed.

Wall Street Journal legit enough for you?

he asked for "decrypted" not "encrypted".

And it's 128-bit encryption. Decryption of that level...nobody is safe at that level. It's the same level MS, steam, and apple use.
