Alright: This is getting serious. Sony reportedly unable to tell if PSN users' personal information compromised.

Still being incredibly tight-lipped about all of this. The longer this goes on, the worse it looks.

Luckily I bought a PSN prepaid card instead of using a creditcard.

Pure pwnage.

Sony has finally come clean about the "external intrusion" that has caused the company to take down the PlayStation Network service, and the news is almost as bad as it can possibly get. The hackers have all your personal information, although Sony is still unsure about whether your credit card data is safe. Everything else on file when it comes to your account is in the hands of the hackers.

In other words, Sony's security has failed in a spectacular fashion, and we're just now finding out about it. In both practical and PR terms, this is a worst-case scenario.

What did they get?

Here is the data that Sony is sure has been compromised if you have a PlayStation Network Account:

* Your name
* Your address (city, state, and zip)
* Country
* E-mail address
* Birthday
* PSN password and login name

"It is also possible that your profile data, including purchase history and billing address (city, state, zip), and your PlayStation Network/Qriocity password security answers may have been obtained. If you have authorized a sub-account for your dependent, the same data with respect to your dependent may have been obtained," Sony announced. While the company claims that there is "no evidence" that credit card information has been compromised, it won't rule out the possibility.

Glad I'm still boycotting Sony.

I had a sneaking suspicion this would be the case, seeing as it's been.. what, five days since PSN went down? God help them if their customers' financial information got lost. I can hear the backlash train a-coming now

I say, they should offer their members free service for two months or more and people who actually have had their credit card information stolen, used and and abused and can prove it, free lifetime membership and money to clear their name.
