I dont believe you Sony.

Fire your current useless engineers whose job was to protect PSN and User data. Hire real engineers.

Nevermind. I just googled it. Not Mel Gibson or Ransom. No cookies for me.

Everybody else. I knew from the start that my personal data *may* have been compromised. I immediately activated fraud alert on my CC number on file with PSN. I am not that worried about personal information getting out. It is out there anyways. Like other have said, any body can reach into you mail box and get you name and address. They don’t even have to open the envelope or even take the mail with them. You’ll never know it.

There are sites on the internet where you can get any public information (Address, Phone Number, even last known employer) of anyone. Many of them the first search is even free.

So, put a fraud alert on you CC until you can get to your bank to request a new one. And check you account activity at least once or twice a day. I have mine set up to text me whenever a transaction is made.

Mel Gibson comes to mind. I think maybe “Ransom”

@fuzzyclutter
What the heck are you talking about? When was I referring to the PSN? I was talking about changing my debit card information at the bank. I’m getting my new card with new numbers tomorrow.

>_>

Please learn to read.

@+ xxnike629xx Why do you tell obvious BS

1. you cant change account numbers by phone .

2. you need to be able to login to ps3 to change psn info .

let’s face it , your just trolling here and no disabiling the ability to associate an id to another ps3 temporarily has nothing to to do with trophies . why don’t you go make yourself look like the backside of a mule on the 360 forums .

It is (sadly) an inherent and understood risk that this might happen when you sign up for these services.
So it happens.
If you don’t want the possibility of being hacked then what you need to do is disconnect your computer from the power, and internet put it in your closet and NEVER USE IT AGAIN! (PROTIP: for extra safety line the closet with aluminum foil)
Even that isn’t fool proof because many CCs now (as well as passports and licenses) are using RFID (radio frequency identification) and that broadcasts a signal from the card that people can snatch info from.
If you use the Postal service to receive bank statements or bills someone who beats you to the mailbox in the morning can take your identity.
If you go paperless (receive billing and bank statements via e-mail) most people don’t realize that the answers to their security questions and password resets are on their FACEBOOK or WIKIPEDIA (ask Sarah “Don’tcha Know?” Pailin about that one)
The worlds best safes are rated on how long it TAKES TO BREAK IN. The longer it takes the better it’s rated.
Long story short, you should have known what you were signing up for and nothing is fool proof.

369, or (nothing against your idea) advise us on the blog that we will receive an email. In that email there will be a preset security question, answer, and a password. Then you use that password and question the hackers don’t know about, and change it to what you prefer.
