I believe it's the same lawsuit as in the previous links.

I got an email on my US account, but no email for my UK account (which is the one with my credit card details attached to it) - I'm not sure whether to cancel my credit card (as this will be a huge pain in the ass), or wait it out to see if it blows over.

considering emails and passwords were obtained that could lead someone to your email I doubt Sony would be sending that info to you.
I would check your past bank statements and look for PSN charges.

I think Sony needs to change the password for everyone, and send it to the email address.
Because otherwise, other than there being 70 million accounts (which I admit is no small thing), what is keeping the hackers from stealing the accounts once PSN goes back up?
Or worse, what if he dumps all the usernames and passwords on a torrent or something?

I don't remember which credit cards I have associated with my psn account. How do I find out?

is there some way Sony can have you change your password when the services goes back up? our profiles are stored locally correct? cant they authenticate that somehow and then have us create a new password right then?
edit: also how do you deal with bringing everyone online ? the servers are going to experience some crazy loads.

Maybe they'll set something up where when you log in for the first time when PSN comes back up, you'll be prompted to pick a new PW.
I think putting the responsibility of changing your account PW into the hands of players shows that Sony isn't too worried about what was actually taken.

What in the hell is wrong with you? Fucking fanboy shit in this thread is pathetic. Some of you ought to be ashamed and you know who you are. Some of you don't even care for Sony yet don't mind the occasional thread to get your free bash in.JambiBum said:
And yea, this is real to me too but this thread reeks of crap.

First article I've seen (courtesy of G4's Stephen Johnson) relating to what hoops PSN users can expect to jump through to restore access to their online identity once the "newly rebuilt PSN" is turned back on.JetBlackPanda said:
It's quite insightful and makes it painfully clear that it will not be a simple matter of turning our systems on and signing in.

adding to what blazinglazers said - irrespective of Sony's poor handling of the situation, if you are concerned, you can get a replacement card / change passwords and it's a minor hassle. If nothing happens, that's good but cancelling a card may give people peace of mind and they won't have to keep a closer eye on their account (you should be checking your account regularly anyway tbh).
If the problem is less / more serious than reported, it doesn't matter. Don't feel the need to wait for further instruction or information, there has been a statement made and emails are being sent out. You don't need to be told if you have been personally affected or wait until money may or may not be taken out of your account at a later stage. This would be standard practice for any sort of security breach. Use your own judgement, taking precautionary steps is sensible and doesn't equate to panicking and burning effigies of sony employees.

A few hours ago, my CC was rejected when I tried to pay the lunch. I got scared and I checked the movements.... it was simply that I got over the monthly limit. Hackers won't be able to steal me until next month.
