Sony admits utter PSN failure: your personal data has been stolen
By Ben Kuchera | Last updated about 4 hours ago (April 26, 2011 15:24PST)


Sony has finally come clean about the "external intrusion" that has caused
the company to take down the PlayStation Network service, and the news is
almost as bad as it can possibly get. The hackers have all your personal
information, although Sony is still unsure about whether your credit card
data is safe. Everything else on file when it comes to your account is in the
hands of the hackers.


In other words, Sony's security has failed in a spectacular fashion, and
we're just now finding out about it. In both practical and PR terms, this is
a worst-case scenario.


What did they get?


Here is the data that Sony is sure has been compromised if you have a
PlayStation Network Account:



"It is also possible that your profile data, including purchase history and
billing address (city, state, zip), and your PlayStation Network/Qriocity
password security answers may have been obtained. If you have authorized a
sub-account for your dependent, the same data with respect to your dependent
may have been obtained," Sony announced. While the company claims that there
is "no evidence" that credit card information has been compromised, it won't
rule out the possibility.


Their advice is to be safe, rather than sorry. "If you have provided your
credit card data through PlayStation Network or Qriocity, out of an abundance
of caution we are advising you that your credit card number (excluding
security code) and expiration date may have been obtained."


What can you do?


You are warned to keep watch over your accounts, and to be aware of your
heightened risk of fraud due to the security breach. "For your security, we
encourage you to be especially aware of e-mail, telephone, and postal mail
scams that ask for personal or sensitive information," the company said.
"Sony will not contact you in any way, including by email, asking for your
credit card number, social security number or other personally identifiable
information."


Sony has also provided a wealth of sources for data and protection against
identity theft.


You may wish to visit the web site of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission at
www.consumer.gov/idtheft or reach the FTC at 1-877-382-4357 or 600
Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20580 for further information about
how to protect yourself from identity theft. Your state Attorney General may
also have advice on preventing identity theft, and you should report
instances of known or suspected identity theft to law enforcement, your State
Attorney General, and the FTC. For North Carolina residents, the Attorney
General can be contacted at 9001 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-9001;
telephone (877) 566-7226; or www.ncdoj.gov. For Maryland residents, the
Attorney General can be contacted at 200 St. Paul Place, 16th Floor,
Baltimore, MD 21202; telephone: (888) 743-0023; or www.oag.state.md.us.


To be fair, Sony does apologize for the inconvenience. There is still no
update on when service will be restored, but that is the least of your
concerns if you have a PlayStation Network account. It's time to change your
passwords, at the very least, and if you're like to be completely safe it's
not a bad idea to cancel your credit or debit cards and request replacements.


We'll continue to follow this story as it develops.
