What e-mail, I thought Sony said that they will not be contacting the customers? No....complete opposite. They said they would be e-mailing "all registered users" because of the personal info compromise.

Damn it. They advised changing our passwords for other things if it was the same for PSN. My password is the same for nearly everything.

Yeah my CC is safe too. There's a 24 hour branch of my bank just 10 minutes from my house so if any irregularities in my account appear at any time I can run down there and they can have it resolved within 20-30 minutes.
Sucks about online play though. I miss GTA and Red Dead. I hope this doesn't prolong the wait for Mortal Kombat DLC. I want Kenshi and Klassic Scorpion damn it.

So any word on online return? They are hoping to have the new firmware out Tuesday if they are ready. Once its up, not all online features will work (PS Home, Store, Account Management)

As much as I love Sony, and my PS3, I hope Sony gets the crap sued out of them. This is honestly ridiculous.

It's just the hackers spouting out information that isn't confirmed. Sony said that the CC info was encrypted and none of the 3-digit codes were stored. The only things that were not encrypted was some information like address and e-mail addresses.

Sony guesses that hackers got into the network through an "application server," through which they were then able to get into the database servers and grab data. Hirai estimates about 10 million PSN users with active credit cards tied to PSN. Security measures will include moving to a new physical data center, more firewalls, and a new "Chief Security Officer." And, of course, a PS3 firmware update. Passwords will only be changeable through the same PS3 that the account was started on, or through a verified email address. Hirai asks you to "be vigilant" and check your credit card statements. Good advice! Sony will not contact you under any circumstances asking for your credit card number or other personal info. So if someone claiming to be Tom Sony asks for your credit card verification code, you're getting scammed! Sony is "considering" covering the costs of credit card replacement for affected users. The company is instituting a "welcome back" program including free downloads of selected content, 30 days of free PlayStation Plus for new and existing users, and -- for Qriocity members -- 30 days of free services. Hirai just called out Anonymous as having attacked Sony by releasing personal info about executives and family members. Sony will cooperate with law enforcement and other organizations to secure data and ensure safety. The fact that this note came right after the Anonymous thing suggests that they'll work with law enforcement to track those kids down too. Nikkei just asked if all 10 million credit cards got out. Hirai said "we can't rule out the possibility" that credit card info was compromised, but Sony hasn't received any reports of illicit card info usage. Another exec on stage said that all Sony knew on April 20 was that there may have been an intrusion. Hirai just reminded us that it's not really 78 million people whose info got stolen, because some of those 78 million accounts are duplicate accounts for the same person. He refrained from providing details of the investigation, because the case has just started. But he did say that "not to his knowledge" has Sony been working with law enforcement agencies out of the US, but they have brought "inquiries" to Sony. The vulnerability in the web server was a vulnerability known about that particular type of server, one of the execs on stage said. Love the whole firmware thing, since in my mind I thought what if someone logged in to your account before you, well that's a load of my back but the whole vulnerability being known and not changing the servers just makes me
