Playstation Hacked0

As a user of Playstation and someone who has suffered card fraud before, i’m a bit miffed!  – Sony confirmed that the ongoing PSN outage was caused by “malicious actions,” and indicates that there has also been “a compromise of personal information.” – Engadget. Sony have a FAQ on the situation here http://us.playstation.com/support/answer/index.htm?a_id=2356 and in a nutshell, the hacker probably took everything stored so now sit and wait to see if you have your identity stolen or cards used fraudulently.

This just confirms why i’m not keen to adopt the cloud. I know it’s a different thing but having my files and various bits of information stored online – no thanks. The only other place i have an account with is World of Warcraft and i’m scrapping that account and will start buying game cards instead. There’s always a risk and i don’t suppose you can ever fully stop that risk but you can be more careful and more vigilant and i sure as hell intend to be more that way.
