PSN Hacked, all user information compromised

Yesterday, 26th April 2011, Sony declared that PSN had been hacked and all the user information, from all countries, around the globe had been exposed to the hacker. All credit card information has been hacked. We strongly advice you to change your passwords if they were identical or similar to the one you used for the PlayStation Network. The credit card numbers of 70 million people have been exposed to an 'unauthorized person'.

The hacker has all vital information, from your name, birthday, to your bills and invoices for the PlayStation Store.

From Wired.com's post : "Sony said it has temporarily shut down the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services and hired an outside security firm “to conduct a full and complete investigation into what happened,” but refused to offer details on the hack."

Sony says no retore date has been yet decided on. When you log on PSN this message will greet you, "PlayStation Network is currently undergoing maintenance."

Here's what Sony wrote on the first line of their blog post , "We sincerely regret that PlayStation Network and Qriocity services have been suspended, and we are working around the clock to bring them both back online"
