For those that own PS3's and haven't been reading the news. Sony's PlayStation Network and Qriocity services were hacked about a week ago. It's taken a while for Sony to investigate and come clean, but yesterday they dropped the bombshell...

Hackers have obtained the following information about every user:

Name

Address (city, state/province, zip or postal code)

Country

E-mail address

Date of birth

PlayStation Network/Qriocity passwords and login

Handle/PSN online ID

Credit Card Information - Sony say there is no evidence this was taken so far, but they can't rule it out yet.

The PSN service is still down, and when it does come back up you are advised to change your password. You are also advised to change the password on other websites if you used the same password across multiple sites. Also, be vary wary of phishing scams/emails that have a lot of information about you in them already, but are asking for more. Anyway, you know the drill...

Total PR disaster for Sony this. Both in the way they handled it (keeping users in the dark for a week), and the amount of information taken.
