Perhaps not, but there's a list out there with everything someone might want to know to steal your identity - name, address, dob.
Companies spend millions on Data Protection in Europe to avoid situations like this.

You really need to stop that shit before it's too late. And fyi, Geo is full of shit. He also made a statement saying you should be allowed to pirate games as a reward for hacking your own system.params7 said:

Isn't it funny how the people who agree with us completely are also the smartest? Go figure.
I'll say something dumb now.
It's true that sometimes suing has counterproductive results, but people who are harmed by this financially (and we don't know the extent of anything yet) have the right to at least try to be compensated. If it turns out Sony's security was laughably weak, AND consumers are financially hurt by this event, it's entirely reasonable for them to seek compensation.

I just want to game online. Play some SOCOM 4, kick back and game. Blame can be thrown in a ton of directions, but I just want a resolution. We can spend months blaming people (which the media will do), be it the hackers, Sony, GeoHotz, Anon, or whoever. I'd rather that energy get directed into a solution and prevention of this happening again.

Had an unknown charge on my debit card. To those who think the hackers don't have your CC info, let me tell you they do. Had to order a new card. Thanks Sony!

It's too late to worry about your credit card, it's gone.
Along with your identity and any pets you might own.
If I were you I would through away your cellphone now.
They're using it to track you.
So they can find you and finish the job.

I also had an unknown charge... until I figured out it was iTunes.

I always get the impression that the US Law System always seems to side with the bigger guys. :\

I hope that's true. Almost all class action lawsuits nowadays are a huge waste of time for the courts system, which could be doing something more important than hearing how some fat guy is obese because of a Big Mac or how someone burnt themselves with hot coffee.

Revelling at someone else's misfortune is a very poor trait to display.
Millions of legit PS3 / PSN users have been affected by this.
Fuck the lot of those hackers, I want to play Socom 4.
Their little idealogical battles with "Great Satan" large companies etc should not impede upon those who have no interest in it.
If someone says casualty of war I might have to choke some fucker.

Class Action is all BS anyway. All the customer gets is a $10 gift card, while the lawyers make off with the rest.

That's pretty cool. Hope your Wife gets recognition for her thinking. As long as a decent well worded cover letter is provided as to why a new card has been issued.
Wonder how much it'll cost the banks to reissue new cards?
I dont understand where all this sarcasm is coming from about charges in this thread. Multiple people are reporting charges on their cards. I said in the last thread, I had a charge on mine and cancelled it the night before the blog about all the details being stolen went up. Whilst peoples card details get compromised all the time, I think its pretty fishy that so many people who use the PSN are finding charges all around the same time.sajj316 said:

Rather be proactive and stop any possible problem, then spend 100s of man hours filing, finding, tracing fraudulent use on an account -which can take up to and beyond month to fully process.
micster said:
Maybe because 77 million people use PSN? People get unauthorized charges in vast quantities every single day. It's purely coincidental.
If you're a thief...the stupidest thing to do would be to start spending your haul while the heat is still blazing. You wait until things calm down.

You do know that the infamous hot coffee case was a legitimate case right? She had 3rd degree burns, the coffee wasn't just hot, it was scalding.
You can see pictures of the burns here: http://pratlaw.wordpress.com/2010/02/24/an-old-posting-i-always-wanted-to-have-referenced/
Also, she wanted to settle, but McDonalds fought it.

sony ass raped me with a sixaxis
Alright Sony, ha ha we get it. We can't live without PSN for a week. Good one, threating us with lost personal information. Now please turn on your network.
Next thing you guys will delay the release of Gran Turismo for weeks without a release date after you announce it at E3. You crazy Sony.
Sure, even crazier would be to keep me from turning on my PS3 for days due to a possibility of my PS3 breaking. We can call if APOCALIPS3.... My idea.
You can go ahead now and just ruin MGS for me too, huh.
*wakes up*
What are you doing here Leo?

Ah I see where you're coming from. But maybe "not bowing down to hackers" doesn't always mean trolling them with useless lawsuits but just working on making your system stronger. Or even if they want to sue, at least sue someone who clearly only hacked for piracy not the iphone hero.
Case in point, SCEA tried to hire Koushik Dutta (android OS developer) and he refused. Its these kind of people that Sony needs to work with not SUE. Microsoft is a good example here. Dutta is an ex-MS employee. Hotz was approached by Windows Mobile 7 devision AFTER Sony sued him.

Or you buy as much as you can as fast as you can before people change their accounts. There are perfectly good reasons for thieves to either act quickly or wait, so we can all stop pretending we know when fraud attempts are going to occur.
I do agree that given the sheer number of CCs potentially stolen, there are bound to be coincidental events reported in this thread. (Not that we can know which ones are, so we should probably stop speculating about that too.)
