So is Sony fucked or what? If there is going to be a class action lawsuit against them, what's that do? Is that the same thing that EA has against them? So Many Questions!

What do you mean fucked?

They'll be fine. It's a PR hit no doubt.

It's going to cost them to fix the whole issue since I read somewhere that the amount it takes to get a grip on every account that was breached is a few hundred...times millions of accounts.

Q: When or how can I change my PlayStation Network password?
A: We are working on a new system software update that will require all users to change their password once PlayStation Network is restored. We will provide more details about the new update shortly.

According to this credit card numbers were encrypted. This rest of our info? Not so much.

There were so many figures released, let's be honest. You have as much a chance of being defrauded as I do of sleeping with Britney Spears in her prime.
And our credit cards have fraud protection.

God forbid anyone steal my PS3 trophies, but honestly, this is getting a bit overblown.

The second I see a suspicious charge on my VISA, I call my bank and they take care of it. Same thing happened when I was a victim of a break and enter, stupid fag took my VISA and decided to go on a spending spree. Bank called me that night and said suspicious shit was going on with my card. A week later I get an affidavit to sign, never lost a dime.

I agree Sony deserves criticism for this, but I'm not losing a minute's sleep over it.

Today a guy I worked with laughed when I said my credit card was online with the PS3. I said "It's fucking Sony, not Earl and John's Chop Shop. Yeah, they got exploited, but it could happen to any major company. How different is registering your credit card with Sony than Amazon?"

He shut up at that point.

Again, I agree it sucks that this happened, but it did and it's over. I (and every one at VSN) will never pay a dime if our credit card numbers are exposed.

How could it be negative towards your score?

It depends on the person but, I know in cases of a 2 of my friends while it wasn't an outright negative, they could not use that credit card for 90 days while the company sorted out the "logistics". Also, anything can really hurt your credit score under the right circumstance. I mean, my credit score was hurt because it was checked 4 times in less than 8 months.

Dude, I don't see how you can say this is "overblown". This is EXACTLY what a lot of people worried about CONSTANTLY when it came to online transactions. I'm glad that you're comforted by your comparison of credit card theft likelihood and banging Britney, but the fact remains, it IS a big deal.

People's name, address, phone number, email address AND potentially credit card/account #'s were exposed. That is NOT okay in this day and age, when most have finally begun to trust that financial transactions are okay on the internet.

I don't necessarily think that it is the end of the world, but to say that it is overblown is underselling it by a long shot.

It's just my opinion, and I could be wrong.
But my address, e-mail address, phone number and credit card number are hardly prime real estate. Again, I am not saying what happened is a good thing, but I'm not losing sleep over it.
I am also not saying it's OK. But it's happened, there's no point going nuts over it.

Here's the problem how many people closed their credit card accounts, instead of reporting them stolen or lost?

That's a hit on your credit report, and will usually force you to pay your entire debt up front.
