Ugh, I don't even remember what email address / password / credit card I had stored on PS3 (and my console is currently in a different state so I can't check). I've only bought a few things from PSN, and I know I had info stored. More than anything I'm worried about what password I used...afraid it could be similar or the same to other online accounts.
Can someone tell me what email address or subject line Sony uses to send out PSN related emails or purchase confirmations? I'm not a frequent purchaser but haven't had any luck finding any emails from them in my archived web email accounts.

One question, how will you guys feel if SONY struck a deal with PAYPAL to be the intermediary of your credit card and PSN?

As mentioned earlier in the thread, search for one of the "noreply" emails, which should tell you which card was used.

So what was incomplete about what they issued today? Also, I never asserted that any particular company prior had dealt with such a backlash because of giving too much information, not sure why I need to give an example so badly. I don't know, I'm sure there have been many corporations that have hastly divulged a steady flow of early estimates or unreliable information at their detriment.
BP gulf spill comes to mind.

The only thing Sony needs to do now is:
1. Let people know EXACTLY when it's coming up, instead of "Maybe Friday. Maybe next week".
2. Lock all accounts and send an email where they ask you to reset the password.
3. Automatically remove credit card info before PSN goes up.

So one in several million out of 77 million possible accounts... that means like 6 or 7 people. Not bad.
Now moving the goal posts. Carry on. You are amusing, I'll grant you that. You are the one saying Sony would be worse off by makes statements of precaution, as they would then face a bigger backlash than not saying anything. I feel that statement is baseless. BP is nothing like what you are talking about. BP were never accused of making too much information available, they were accused of leaking a shitload of oil and trying to cover it up. Yes, some of their estimates on the timeframe to fix it were off. Do you really think that would anger anyone more than what they had already done?Trevelyon said:

I'm so glad that my PSN Password was unique to PSN Only! I wanted to make it permanent password but I decided to wait off. Glad I did. Also, I cancelled my credit card a month ago.

Wouldn't they just send each and every user an email regardless of whether or not personal data was compromised?

What is happening here is terrible and everyone should be on alert but you do realize that you can be the victim of identity theft by a ton of different ways at any moment.

Same. Saw the e-mail about an hour ago but I already knew what I needed to know thanks to this thread. On another note, I was chatting with a buddy of mine on messenger and he didn't even know about the hacking of PSN.TheSeks said:
He's more of a hardcore than casual, only plays shooters. But I don't think he's the type that checks out forums and stuff. I linked him an article about the whole thing and he was pretty surprised. I mentioned to him that with so many accounts/players that the chance of your card being used was low.
I just mentioned that I've been keeping my eye on my accounts/e-mail and I was changing passwords where I felt needed changing. I should be good for now, nothing shady on any of the two cards I had used for buying stuff from PSN. My friend will probably do the same after the heads up I gave him. Still unfortunate this happened...

The only way for Sony to redeem themselves is to offer a $25 credit in PSN store and 3 months free subscription to PS+. I am being reasonable...Doubt it will happen though

If I got my email on the first day, does that make me and the rest of the people that did more special than the rest?
OldJadedGamer said:
Yup, "quite literally" 6 or 7 people will be effected by this. Quite literally.
You would think there would be an easier way to obtain personal information from 6 or 7 people than to hack into PSN and steal personal information from 77 million accounts... these hackers must be really inefficient!

Well that's FBI's job...to catch the hackers. You're right though. I'm thinking ahead, after this whole fiasco is cleaned up.DXB-KNIGHT said:The only way Sony can redeem themselves is to get my personal info from the hackers

I actually don't think I can even access the e-mail I signed up for PSN with anymore. Would I be able to change it on the XMB now or would I have to wait until PSN comes back up?

Sony are going to get smashed for this from the media and rightly so. I know its the hackers who are the real ones to blame but there faceless while the media see sony. I wonder how they are going to swing this bad pr, and im not one to call for freebies but they need to do right by there customers here.
Dead Man said:
Well yeah, not too many things are, let's be fair here. If I knew you were prefacing the example, I would've tried to think of something, anything closer.
Maybe it's just my memory, but their initial estimates to what was leaking per day was remarkably off to what was revealed later, it was a media firestorm and created an atmosphere of distrust and negative press.
But it's neither here nor there, I guess.

$25 x 70,000,000 = $1,750,000,000 have you lost your mind? lol
yes I say 70 Million because you know everyone with 3 & 4 accounts is going to use that credit just the same.

fuck you sony, now I have to re-ty all my auto payments to a new account, not fuckin cool. I will probably get a late charge on one I forgot. I have atleast 7-8 on auto pay and now thats fucked. great way to spend my off day.
edit: and those who say it is available already on the net. true, but imagine having 70 millions right at your tip without doing shit. if your a thief looking up 1 dude compared to having 79 million addresses listed for you?
