ThePlayStation Network outageand subsequent announcement that an “external intrusion” is to blame has caused more than a little consternation among gamers. More than being unable to play their favorite games online, PS3 owners have a new worry — is their credit card information in the wrong hands?
It’s a good question, and Sony … doesn’t know. The company is said to be “investigating” this issue, but right now, it has no clue how much info any would-be hacker might have. Once Sony knows anything, customers will be “promptly” informed. Until then, who knows?
It’s a sour cherry on top of the PSN Failcake, and I certainly hope nobody’s been put at risk thanks to this sorry little situation. The potential fallout would be ever so slightly worse than not being able to playMortal Kombatonline for a week.
