Anon has said they were not responsbile, that they only had wanted to disrupt some Sony things initially and they had nothing to do with anything that would effect PS3 users. Time will tell... |

Most people use the same password and username for multiple things, including their emails and online credit card banking and so now they have to go and change out the passwords for their emails, online banking, and credit cards. On top of that you may start receiving an influx of spam mail at your home and email. There is a whole world of inconvenience tied to this. Especially since Playstation decided to wait for almost a week after the leak before informing people. There could have been a load of harm already done in that week that could have been preventable if they had let people know sooner. |

this is why i buy my XBL membership and points cards from retail stores. MS doesn't have my credit card on file, only a shitty email address i never use and a three year old address.
PS3 has my one yahoo address, but no CC info, and an old address. it's bad enough companies store your entire CC# when you DON'T tell them to, why would you consciously allow them to store your information is beyond me...

FWIW, 77 million PSN users = low likelihood of any particular user being victimized in any way. Even if the perp(s) were able to attempt fraudulent access to one million accounts, that's a 1 in 77 chance that they'd even attempt to access one of your accounts. It's always best to err on the side of caution, but for the millions that do absolutely nothing in response to this news there's still only a small chance they'll actually be victimized because of it. |

Those are people that buy content from vendors on PSN. You don't actually pay for the PSN network. I have a PSN account but no financial information stored in it because I never bought anything. That was a while back. I havent had a playstation for a while. Definitely glad I use Xbox Live. I don't have a credit card on xbox live either. I signed up using the live cards bought from Walmart. |
