Having to rebuild an infrastructure allows you to design for new things... like designing for optimal bandwidth usage for x-game chat.Projectjustice said:

These reports will be all the more sweet if CC data actually wasn't compromised.

The question is, how many Ars readers had credit card issues that didn't bother talking about it on Ars is a single thread?
It might be that people are experiencing a normal amount of credit card fraud, but everyone immediately assumes now that its' due to Sony.

Seriously... why are all these reports only appearing after Sony confirmed that data was stolen, even though the data was actually stolen more then a week ago?
That's not very reliable.Dizzy said:

It's happening guys. I just got a $100 charge to my AmEx card that was linked to my PSN from somewhere in Illinois. I live in Tennessee. I've only had this card for about a year and I've never had anything like this happen with any of my other accounts.

just asking is psn still down?
A spare gmail account which was associated with my PSN account that shared the same password was compromised today.
Nothing of value on that account, thankfully google alerted me to the intrusion.
A good reminder to not use one password on every site. I personally use lastpass with random strongpasses for anything important.
edit:
Also I recommend enabling 2-step verification if you have a cellphone and use gmail.

How can any reputable "news" site use random anonymous website comments as a basis for the truth? This just keeps getting worse and worse
The blog websites who post their bile as actual news and not fanboyism (which it is) are finally coming out of the woodwork as well. How is any of this helping any consumer or anyone who may have actual real world issues with this fiasco? Man if they had to report on facts, there would be no articles.

Is that an option you can enable on Gmail?

Yup, probably the case. I was a victim of credit card fraud a couple of months ago before all this happened. Still, it doesn't give one confidence. All I could think was..."great, not again."
It doesn't really matter at this point if the CC data was stolen or not. Sony already dropped the ball.

No, it does that by default if you get suspicious activity.Metalmurphy said:

Champions League football is sponsored by Playstation 3 and Mastercard. Spooky!
It does it by default, you can also access the logs for account activity by going to the bottom of the gmail page.Metalmurphy said:

It kinda would be funny if Sony now came out and said, "after further investigation we can now confirm that it's 99.9% unlikely that any credit cards were taken as part of this attack."
It seems a bit of a stretch to be posting coincidental stories.
I must admit, I expected Sony to make more comments today. I'm not sure why, I just anticipated them to douse the flames a little with something positive.

I just received the Dutch version of Sony's e-mail. I think their translation services have also been compromised. I know they are rushing things, but couldn't they pass it by a native speaker first?
I've changed my most important passwords (which I needed to do anyway) and I will be monitoring my CC. According to my bank I have to report it as "stolen" to the police to have a new one issued?

I was just thinking the same thing. Maybe something along the lines of "We're cooperating with authorities" or something and reiterating that people can/should check their accounts and be careful. Something. There's just this huge vacuum of information right now that's filled in with all of this nonsense. It's like they didn't learn anything from the past week.get2sammyb said:

What's there to say. Just because some media outlets are having a field day posting stupid articles (see Ars above) doesn't mean anything has changed. They're working on rebuilding the network, should be up within a week.
I'm guessing next update we get is to tell us when it will be up exactly.

Yeah I too am not going to take that Ars article as truth. They were compromised for over a week if they were at all, and after Sony announced this now all of a sudden everyone's got foreign charges? It's like the hackers needed sony's confirmation to realize they had CC info!

I like this "testimonial":
I guess the PSP purchase was an emergency situation.
Who buys a credit card to use it once for their PSP and then hides it in a drawer? I guess this guy does and thus confirms that it is Sony related theft .... -_-
