PlayStation Store Compromised?
An interesting little tidbit dropped on Sony's internal consumer alerts page today. While it does not state explicitly that the PlayStation Store was compromised, there is a likely chance that a small amount of passwords and personal information was gathered, though credit card data was spared as network accounts do not reflect the entire series of digits.
Notice to PLAYSTATION®Network UsersWe have found out that there has been a possibility of unauthorized access to personal information on the PLAYSTATION®Store through PCs, a content download service of the PLAYSTATION®Network. Although unlikely, it is possible that the passwords of a small percentage of PLAYSTATION Network users may have been changed through unauthorized access, making it possible to view users' personal information and/or use the Wallet for the PLAYSTATION Store. PLAYSTATION Network accounts do not display entire credit card numbers.
We have taken immediate measures to rectify this issue and system security is restored.
Users identified as being affected by this will be contacted directly by Sony, but those interested in seeing if any damage has taken place should attempt to log in to their account with their pre-set passwords. If you are able to log in successfully, then you are not a victim of this malicious act.
