So now what? you're gonna bitch and move on to the other network? hahaha. I'm not suggesting you will, but I've seen on other sites there are a lot of disgruntled gamers and they wana sell their playstation becuase of this! Oblivious to the fact Xbox Live aparently has so many more outages due to their Microsoft link which attracts even more hackers... and they pay for it! Atleast we know who the real Playstation fans are.

I, however, have never been stupid enough to buy anything from playstation store. It's mostly a rip-off and I knew something like this could always happen. So I've never given my card details on the store.

And that's why you always should fill out these forms with fake navn, address and birth date.

The fact that Sony was asking hackers for this (by bullying a talented kid who managed to hacked into their "unhackable" device), yet overlooked their own network security putting us users into jeopardy.

Some might say it's a free service which is totally untrue, a value-added service more like. We have every right to be concerned and I can already smell a mass lawsuit coming.

I know this isn't GT5 related DIRECTLY, but it is worth being here... I don't venture out of this forum on GTP really so I and I bet a lot of others would benefit from this being here not on the "other games" "Console and PC gaming" section.

PSN seemed to not accept my card details anyway so had to buy one of the pre-paid card things, in a funny way I feel lucky but trolling aside, this situation is very bad.

Yet another example strengthening my belief that the best hacker is a dead hacker Those people should stop ruining millions of other people's fun

That little fact may do a lot to mitigate some of the potential misuse for those who did supply real information. Lots of bad data interleaved with good data is going to reduce the usefulness of this consumer data for widespread fraud or sale to other criminal organizations. Another aspect that I not yet seen mentioned is that if you use your online handle on PSN to access a broad spectrum of Internet websites and think you must maintain a degree anonymity, you have just lost it; your PSN id is now linked to a potentially real identity.

Yes, the information Sony gets about us, is value adding to them, thats right. They are keeping track of our habits, so they can use it in marketing etc.

The PSN according to me isnt free, the amount for the PSN is certanly included when you but Sony stuff, and ps3 games.

Well expect junk mail & email plus random survey phone calls cause selling potential costumer info is big money these days , OP also forgot they also had a look on our D.O.B as well.

I'm glad I haven't Add my CC info anywhere in the psn , thos it really sucks for those who did it , my advice is; add a temp fraud alert to your credit (3 month) add you number to the " do not call list " change your email password in case you used the same email password to login to the psn.
