Playstation Network Users: Check Your Passwords and Credit Cards

So, what did the bad guys manage to steal? Uhh ... just about everything, it seems. Here's what's in the definitely jacked column: "name, address (city, state, zip), country, email address, birthdate, PlayStation Network/Qriocity password and login, and handle/PSN online ID." Our takeaway: you'd better start changing passwords if you use the same one frequently. We'll leave the decision on whether or not to pack your bags and move away up to you.
In the possibly jacked column: "profile data, including purchase history and billing address (city, state, zip), and your PlayStation Network/Qriocity password security answers." That leaves your credit card information, which ... well, we'll let Sony tell you itself: "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." Yikes.

Was posted in the Xbox vs PS3 thread, but this definitely needs a thread of its own. I just went through my emails and found which card I have registered with them. Now I have to phone my bank...

"To see what card you used w/ PlayStation Network, check your emails from 'DoNotReply@ac.playstation.net.'" Once you've figured out what that card is, call your bank and tell them you think it may have been compromised.
