The fact its a major company is exactly why they were targetted. The black hat hackers who do this, are determined to cause choas, get a load of publicity, and a load of money, and are normally so good on the computer they cover tracks and will never be caught. Whats the challange in hacking your local hardware store, when you have the skills to do sony over.

Here's what Sony UK indicates was exposed:
- Name
- Shipping address
- Billing address
- Country
- E-mail address
- Birthdate
- PSN/Qriocity ID
- PSN/Qriocity password
- PSN/Qriocity security question and answer
- Purchase history
By the looks of it as i said yesterday they couldnt get to the credit card encryptions. ALso even if they did they would need the pin of your credit card which PSN doesnt save unless you tick the box IIRC. so unless you are a regular purchaser that ticked that box you should be fine AFAIK. my Password for psn is only used for fantasy football and a few other things like that (my old soccermanager account) that has no money on it so not too worried either.
that's cool but then why are experts tell PSN user to cancel their credit/debt cards and get new one sent to them
Was reading a blog yesterday on the issue.
He reckons that PSN could have to stay shut down..indefinitely, because if the details are stolen, credit card details etc they cannot put it back up for the hackers to use on the psn. You know, avoid being sued etc.
ps, Play Station Notwork hurhuruhruhurhur
