PSN Hacked, Accounts Stolen

Hacking

The PC PlayStation Store got hacked recently. Yeah, no good at all. A few accounts were actually stolen in the process. The hackers got access to the back end database and took a few accounts and changed the passwords. Luckily, Sony found this very quickly and things are being taken care of. They issued a Consumer Alert on the matter as well.

To make sure your account is all safe and sound, go log into the PlayStation Network, either through your PS3 or the PC PlayStation Store. If you can get in with your normal email and password, your account is safe. If you can’t get in, you might want to call Sony and get it all straightened out.

Hopefully this sort of thing doesn’t happen again, but only time will tell.

I guess you’re forgetting the 2-3 times Xbox Live has been hacked and accounts were compromised?
