Has anyone actually had their CC or Debit card compromised because of this intrusion? Or are people still being vague or careful, because it doesnt seem like much has happened yet.

Wells Fargo, American Express, and Mastercard have said that there has been no fraud activity due to the PSN breach. I wish I had a link, but it was posted in this thread last night.

Just spit out the site already. Honestly, if its a hacker site, they tend to be very anti Sony and will do anything to make them look bad. Hell, Sony looks bad enough right now. I seriously doubt the file you saw was legit. The only way to know is if someone here can verify that the info is correct about there account.

Exactly, I want the fucking info to see if I'm on it and I want to see it with my own eyes. Also, if all they got was 4046 PSN ids, thats very good news.

It could be PSN ID's if it's anything like GAF where you could put it in your profile.

Mine was canceled last week (19 or 20) because they suspected fraud attempts. No more info was given to me unfortunately so I can't either confirm or deny that it has something to do with it. But I only use paypal to pay on the internet, no credit card attached to it.

Are there only "guessable" brute-forcable passwords (like the gawker leak) or are there also crazier "j42lkfgun" style passwords which means that yes, they actually did store them in a retrievable way on the server and need to be held accountable for negligence.

Im dying to see the list as well to see if Im on it but Im sure he doesnt exactly want to start throwing around files with names and passwords on it and spread it around even more.
Still, Id at least like a username listing just to check if my name is on there. I dont care about emails or passwords.

Making sure the PSN is secure is their main concern. They said they're not bring it back online until it's secure.

Does anyone know if when you changed your password on PSN, did it send a confirmation email? I changed my passwords after the gawker/kotaku hack, but I can't remember if I changed my PSN pwd.

urs. The individual spent over $500 dollars on three different transactions when my bank called me due to the strange activity. .

Hehe, that actually makes me wonder what my bank would consider strange activity on my part. :)

Not wanting to go into details of course, but being a big fan of Japanese (retro) games and asian films, you'd be surprised at the effort I go though to find that one particular out of print item that's extremely hard to find.
Must have a psychological profile added to my account I think, so they can compare of it fits my usual behavior. ;)

If the supposed list is real would that presume the hackers only managed to get 4,000 entries from the pool of 77million accounts that has frequently been touted? Because, that would kinda be good news wouldn't it?

One timne I got flagged for possibly fraudulent when I went to a local hobby store which I had gone to virtually every week buying things all the time. They ended up having to give me a new card because once they flag it it's their policy to cancel the card once they auto-flag it, even if the card was assuredly not stolen.

I didn't know whether to feel pissed or safe.

Agreed, but I'm intrigued as well. I want to know if I'm on it.

being careful. there have been rumors and unsubstantiated claims that sony has warned the networks of potential fraud, but nothing factual. Sony's official statement is that the card database is encrypted and there is no evidence that leads them to believe that the card numbers were stolen.

edit - and yes, people have said that they've had fraudulent activity on their account, but there is no indication or reason to believe it was related to this other than coincidental timing. There has definitely not been a pattern or anything like there has been with other confirmed credit card thefts.

Fuck you.
Just fuck you and your insane bullshits, I don't know how you're still being able to post here.
I had to come back home from the city where I work and probably will lose several work days (at least 300-400€) for this reason, so FUCK YOU.

Nothing he said was bullshit. Visa MasterCard and some other themselves said there have been no suspicious activity regarding cards with PSN purchases. Sony themselves said the data was encrypted and that there was no evidence it was taken.

And even if you are telling the truth, without proof it's still "unsubstantiated". No need to jump on him like that.

My bank called me 3 weeks ago to question activity on my card. The transaction? The gas I paid for 10 minutes earlier. The transaction showed up with a timestamp of 7:30 when I paid for the gas at 8:30...I guess the pump had the wrong time or something like that.
They questioned it because I had already bought another item with the card at 8:15...setting off this confusion because there was no way I went back in time to buy gas.

You had not to work because there was no sign of your card being stolen?

EDIT: Okay, reading your previous post this post doesn't fit into your story. Disregard.

I'll admit your entire situation sounds batshit insane, but your problem isn't Sony, it's Fineco. With a "normal" bank you'd have solved any issue in a couple phonecalls.

Well, I think having the psn down has made me focus or something, just got my second platinum in a week, GoW1.

Looking forward to syncing my 70+ trophies so far xD

Just in case people missed it...

"All of the data was protected, and access was restricted both physically and through the perimeter and security of the network. The entire credit card table was encrypted and we have no evidence that credit card data was taken."

"Spokesmen for Wells Fargo & Co., American Express Co. and MasterCard Inc. said they were monitoring cardholder accounts and hadn’t seen unauthorized activity relating to Sony. "
