** PSN shut indefinently; hackers may have your credit card details **

[Rowan]

Hacker group "Anonymous" have denied involvement in the breach in a blog post titled "For Once We Didn't Do it" however it admitted rogue hackers could be responsible.

There is no representative for anonymous. That statement is false. I wouldnt wait too long to hang onto your credit card details either. A program is probably being developed to take everyones details and money at one time, rather than risk doing as many as possible before people start cancelling their cards. As long as noones money is being stolen now, most people will be under the impression that noone has gained access to it. dont be fools, protect yourself. People who are able to hack into such organisations are not to be taken lightly, you're a fool to think you are safe. cancel your cards now.

official source? I'm not gonna cancel my credit card because it was one of several thousand that MAY be in someones hands. If they were gonna pull off some mass heist and start randomly gaining lots of money from this they would have to be like super spys or something to get away with it.

Maybe that $800 was an isolated incident for some other person dealing with PSN. With no source connecting it directly to this incident that seems like just Playstation smearing to me. Peoples credit card numbers have been stolen/misused in almost any venue if one looks hard enough and if the system has been used enough.

Basically I'm not gonna panic until i see an official source stating that someones money has been stolen as a direct result of this hacking. Otherwise I'll take my chances that they won't choose to use my credit card first for money theft.

source please?

Im sure there are other credit card scams going on, most particulary in india. I have heard many people being called from indians claiming to be from microsoft. Just because this person has a psn account, it does not mean that was the cause, although its a possibility.

some guy posted a paypal statement of getting $799.99 withdrawn and successfully transfered from the account to an "Alam Akash". I don't have the history of where I found it saved, but believe it or not it happened. Other people have been getting back bad bank statements as well.

Worst thing is, Sony made no attempts to encrypt the credit card data at all. Now that hackers have peoples names/addresses/credit card #s, they can find out your SS# as well. Have fun with that!
