That's assuming they survive the onslaught of real lawyers, where you have to pay a fine just to be in the same room as them.

We have discovered that between April 17 and April 19, 2011, certain PlayStation Network and Qriocity service user account information was compromised in connection with an illegal and unauthorized intrusion into our network. In response to this intrusion, we have:
Temporarily turned off PlayStation Network and Qriocity services
Engaged an outside, recognized security firm to conduct a full and complete investigation into what happened
Quickly taken steps to enhance security and strengthen our network infrastructure by re-building our system to provide you with greater protection of your personal information.
We greatly appreciate your patience, understanding and goodwill as we do whatever it takes to resolve these issues as quickly and efficiently as practicable.

Although we are still investigating the details of this incident, we believe that an unauthorized person has obtained the following information that you provided: name, address (city, state, zip), country, email address, birthdate, PlayStation Network/Qriocity password and login, and handle/PSN online ID. 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. While there is no evidence at this time that credit card data was taken, we cannot rule out the possibility. If you have provided your credit card data through PlayStation Network or Qriocity, out of an abundance of caution we are advising you that your credit card number (excluding security code) and expiration date may have been obtained.

For your security, we encourage you to be especially aware of email, telephone, and postal mail scams that ask for personal or sensitive information. Sony will not contact you in any way, including by email, asking for your credit card number, social security number or other personally identifiable information. If you are asked for this information, you can be confident Sony is not the entity asking. When the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services are fully restored, we strongly recommend that you log on and change your password. Additionally, if you use your PlayStation Network or Qriocity user name or password for other unrelated services or accounts, we strongly recommend that you change them, as well.

To protect against possible identity theft or other financial loss, we encourage you to remain vigilant, to review your account statements and to monitor your credit reports. We are providing the following information for those who wish to consider it:

U.S. residents are entitled under U.S. law to one free credit report annually from each of the three major credit bureaus. To order your free credit report, visit http://www.annualcreditreport.com or call toll-free (877) 322-8228.

If an account holder provided credit card data through PlayStation Network or Qriocity, it is possible that the credit card number (excluding security code) and expiration date may also have been obtained.

Probably over reported on your local news, surprised nobody has mentioned it on here yet.

Anon doesn't take credit? Or maybe they are just covering theirselves. Either way, I didn't know that this is even possible. All I can say is, Facebookers, prepare for sh!tstorm.

We discovered that the intruders had planted a file on one of our Sony Online Entertainment servers named “Anonymous” with the words “We are Legion.”

Seeing how anonymous made a statement about them being innocent, it could well be that it was indeed ran by only few members without the support of the whole organization.

the benefits of being anonymous, are also disadvantages, for all we know, it could be them, or someone else using them as a mask (lolirony)

While everyone is in despair and QQing over PSN, I'm sitting here impressed at how professional the hacking is.

Number 7 and 8.
Not only have they stolen million of sentimental information of users, but they did it without being caught. I'm on the same boat as you.

Inb4 they stole the credit card info only to not bother stealing anything.

While I am upset over the hacking, the one thing that does bother me is how companies like Sony lock users out of the full potential of the hardware they purchase.
I don't think that Sony, or anyone for that matter, should have the right to tell people what they can and can't do with something that they purchase.
I feel the same way about apple locking out their iPods / iPads.

Or just doing so sloooowly, just so there's no way to track it down.
