Ouch... 25 Million people exposed? I'm glad I wiped Credit Card info before the Intrusion... Those Game Cards just made sense to me, and now i know why...

I may be confused but I read that their main credit card DB wasn't compromised, and the one that was held like mostly foreign accounts but didn't have the CC security code thing. And also Sony is giving all subscribers free signups to some identity theft firm.

They don't need it, just spoof your identity and open a line of credit someplace. Protection for 1 year, but they have your identity indefinitely. How them lawsuits goin? ;)

For active subscribers, is having your identity stolen worth 6 weeks of game time?

yea, this info seems old / outdated / incorrect

Stolen information includes, to the extent you provided it to us, the following: name, address (city, state, zip, country), email address, gender, birthdate, phone number, login name and hashed password.

Customers outside the United States should be advised that we further discovered evidence that information from an outdated database from 2007 containing approximately 12,700 non-US customer credit or debit card numbers and expiration dates (but not credit card security codes) and about 10,700 direct debit records listing bank account numbers of certain customers in Germany, Austria, Netherlands and Spain may have also been obtained. We will be notifying each of those customers promptly.

There is no evidence that our main credit card database was compromised. It is in a completely separate and secured environment.

My legal team is trying to get Chadlek and Naezbutt unbanned as we speak. Damn you last 4 digits of a 10 year old long-lost credit card!!
