i think u shud ask how can u trust any company at all anymore? my bank has been hacked and we all had to get new bank cards.. trust me, its not just sony..and now theyre takin six weeks to make sure it doesnt happen again thats gotta inspire you with some trust.. besides, most credit cards have auto fraud protection which means if you dispute the charges, youre not charged.. i think ppl need to just relax or never use any web based, electronic systems to buy things if they dont consider that this may happen anywhere.. its a sad fact of life some ppl will always try to steal .. at least sony is responding they best way the can..

UPDATE

It is believed that the hackers got up to 2.2 million credit cards and that they may be on the black market.

Government agents may well be on their trail but if the person or persons responsible happen to live in say North Korea,do you really think anything can be done against them?

I don’t fill out all the info on my psn account. The only thing I fill out my address. It’s against the rules to put in false information. Which I could heed but now I wonder how I keep myself safe. There are a lot of creeps out there that do this sort of thing, but I have no worries as of where I’m at. It’s too secure around here. On another note, I’m glad that I only put in my name halfway. But that can still breach my security. I’m not worried about this issue anyway. I think everyone has the right to worry, but I wouldn’t get all bent out of shape because of this breach. Government agents are going to chase them like a rabbit on a dog track. It’s one of those things where they get caught and more come. They scatter. lol! I think they’re more afraid of us then we are of them. Let’s keep our head up and strive to hinder their crap.

Sounds like a hassle. I agree it’s worth the hassle but if our information can’t be kept safe, it needs to not be taken, IMO.

I can’t help but think the verification method Sony used on the PSN to prove you are you was your birth date. Now that’s gone… they are going to need something else. I also wish there was a way to find out what my security questions were, because that information was compromised too. We should be able to trust Sony with our information.

This is a mess.

I’m expecting a class-action law suit to come out of this. The information this person, or persons, have is enough to cause havoc in someone life. I contacted my account providers and added additional levels of security on my information because of this happening. I can’t help but think about the various accounts we all have out there with our personal information and the companies we trust. How many of us will trust Sony after this?

If you don’t have ready access to PSN cards another solution is to add your info, use it, then immediately delete the info from your PSN acct each time. I htink this is wise in any case.

Just a bit of advice -- don’t contact all three credit reporting companies all at once. Just choose one.

You are allowed to check your score for free, but only ONCE A YEAR. Pulling all three does have an effect on your score, so just choose one.

I always advise buying PSN cards vs using a credit card. Loosing up to $50 sucks, but its much less of a hassle and nightmare to have your credit card account hacked and your information stolen.
