the only time I ever purchased anything on the store was with a gift card, so I don't believe they have my credit card info.
Regardless, I'll have to change some passwords and shit. This is really fucking stupid, Sony.

I used a different password for my PSN than anything else, so I'll be fine with my passwords. I've only ever used PSN cards because I'm 2young4creditcards.

Would you blame yourself if a robber broke into your house and got into your safe because you had a giant purple sticky note on the fridge that said "THE SAFE IS BEHIND THE BOAT PAINTING IN THE LIVING ROOM. OH AND ITS COMBINATION IS 43-45-11. MY PIN NUMBER IS ALSO 4512. JUST SAYIN"

Same here. Fucking Kotaku's Gawker Media thing earlier this year had me changing every password, now this.

And iirc, didnt sony require some card info when you signed up for PSN? I think it did, but I'm not 100%.

I hope there's a class-action lawsuit I can join in.
i suggest you all take advantage of legal representation

This just in, Sony gets fucked hourly. Now the people who did it aren't Anon anymore to keep the entire world from getting in shit because law is dumb like that, but trying to say they're making a point and naming themselves LulzSec.
