I used a credit card to purchase something, does that mean it's on file? I don't think I put it on file if I had the option.

... and your answer for the headset? I'd be pretty pissed if I bought that stuff for the sole purpose of playing online and I couldn't play for days. I'm getting sick of seeing this "play single player" argument, I'm seeing it all over other forums. Sure there is a single player aspect to all games, but that doesn't mean people want to play through it. The fact is a large portion of PS3 owners buy a PS3 for PSN. That's like a mechanic saying, "we have no idea what's wrong with your car, but you've always got your shoes." It's gonna take time. First off no one knows what is even wrong right now but some theories floating around are 1. DDoS'ed a.k.a large amount of people pinging the servers and the servers crashed 2. Someone or Some group hacked into the servers for reasons unknown (whether it was to steal info, steal games, what ever else) 3. Sony messed something up internally and are covering their asses 4. Steam integration opened a security hole or killed the servers 5. That custom firmware allowed people to steal PSN stuff and Sony found out and shut the network down to fix it Now that being said it is gonna take some time. They need to find out exactly what it was, why it happened, how it happened, and then they are planning on rebuilding the system to make it stronger and more secure. First off PSN is free so no reason to bitch, the ONLY reason to bitch is that Sony is being so damn vague with peopel when it could be dangerous to customer's if info was taken/compromised. I am guessing it will be down for most of this month as they have a lot to do. I just wish they would not be so damn vague. LOL! PSN is free so no one can bitch? That's a terrible excuse! Sony is thanking whatever God they pray to for customers like you. PSN is a key selling point for the PS3 and is heavily advertised. In essence when you've paid for a PS3 you've paid for access to PSN. It's unfortunate what's happening is happening, but consumers have every right to complain about this.

I wouldn't worry about the personal information, can't people not buy anything with your card unless they have the security code which isn't on you file with PSN? Plus its been almost a week and PSN caught it in just a few days, so i think people would already be having credit problems if that was the hackers intentions. I think Sony just has to inform people that there information could have been obtained, its a possibility, that doesn't mean it was or will be obtained by anyone.

Calling to possibly cancel my card and get a new one. Better to be safe than sorry. Not much of an online gamer, but I'm surprised this has taken a week to get out. It could be disastrous for Sony pending credit card info and such has gotten into the wrong hands. EDIT: I just canceled my credit card and they're sending me out a new one. The lady I was dealing with had to call up her supervisor to find out what was going on and how to deal with it. After that she said that there had been a few other calls regarding PSN. It makes me wonder how a huge organization such as Sony can get hacked out of some of the most valuable info they have when they're seemingly changing up their terms of service and what not on a constant basis. Oh well, crisis averted. I hope those hacker s get caught.

It pisses me off that it took Sony this long to come out and say this. By this time the hacker could of already gotten to someone's credit card. I hate how Sony is handling this. They were being extremely vague and not to the point when PSN first went down and they finally say what really happened and the consequences of it now.

Make matters worse PSN was already hacked in April, it was down for a few hours. Sony just let's that slide and doesn't do a damn thing to stop it and just waits until in the inevitable happens.

My parents would know already if their card was used, and the card is American Express so, they would take care of it.

Something to keep in mind is that, assuming that the security code is not kept on file (which it is unless it asks you for it EVERY time you make a purchase on PSN), by having your billing information, your PSN account contains enough information for a smart enough bunghole to convince your Credit Card company that they are you and get them to send you a new card.
Do what you wish, but I would certainly call your company and get them to send you a new card, if I were in your shoes. I mean, why take the risk?

Welp, my mom just called me to inform me that "PlayStation got hacked", worried that my credit card info was in. In other words, this has gone mainstream.

Oh I forgot all about credit card info. I used my MC debit to buy Undead Nightmare when it first came out as DLC and Fan Axxess for SVR11. What is the word on credit card info?

They're being vague. They don't know if it's been compromised or not. It's probably best to just play it safe and assume they did.
