As if Sony didn't have enough problems already, there was a an official release posted on their site in the last 48 hours about a possible security leak around their Playstation Store.
"We 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,
so any unauthorized access to your PLAYSTATION Network account is very unlikely
to compromise your credit card number.
We have taken immediate measures
to rectify this issue and system security is restored.
We have
investigated the extent of unauthorized access and possible alteration of
passwords that could have occurred before corrective measures were taken, and
are directly contacting customers who may have been affected by this incident.
In order to verify that your account is intact, we strongly suggest that
PLAYSTATION Network users sign in to the service. If you can successfully sign
in with your pre-set password, your account is not affected by this incident."
Hell to the Yeah...
