People are getting mails from Sonymail.com saying that Csidentity has partnered with Sony to offer Identity protection..
Seems to be for Canada and Latin America..

http://www.playstation.ca/identity-theft-protection/

but people in Australia and Europe are also recieving mails.. something about a voucher code they need to type in here:

https://sony.csidentity.com/

is this for real or a Scam..? I have not read anything on the blogs or any other official Sony site in Europe about it..

It's real, I think Sony announced they expanded to those regions last week.

Got the email too, but don't trust it. The site looks ghetto ass hell.

I'm pretty sure that's the partnership they have now when they announced that they will be offering extra security for PSN users.

 

[Angst]

Pretty sure it's legit

I would trust an url 'csidentity.sony.com' a lot more.

I got an email and I'm in Ireland. Wasn't really sure what to make of it.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Even Australia got it afaik. So yeah it's legit.

EDIT:

Don't be pwned by identity thieves. We scour millions of websites, criminal chat rooms and databases to monitor for unauthorized use of your identity online.

Lol at 'pwned' hmmm. I don't think any professional website would use that word.

 

[Phonomezer]

Got it yesterday. Looks bright purple and spammy, but yeah it's legit.

Lol at 'pwned' hmmm. I don't think any professional website would use that word.

Well, it's a page setup specifically for those impacted by the PSN breach.
I think it's just a little catering to the audience.

Sony seriously needs to send emails out from a Sony domain name; I got an email about this from PlayStation_Network@playstation-email.com and that looks shady as hell.

I got mine in Canada a couple hours ago.
