Just leaving this here.

In Wednesday’s blog post, Sony said users’ credit card data had been encrypted but that all other information was not.

“The entire credit card table was encrypted and we have no evidence that credit card data was taken. The personal data table, which is a separate data set, was not encrypted,” Seybold wrote. He said users should be aware of potential e-mail phishing scams that might use that leaked personal data.

So, while names and addresses have been leaked it looks like our credit card information is safe. It's a start.

So what about that guy who has had his card blocked who Gareth quoted above? That is still no proof that our credit card info is safe. They said they have no evidence it was taken but they cannot rule out that possibility, you missed that bit. If they were so sure our credit card info was safe, on Wednesday, then they would have said so in their statement. Just more speculation.

Don't wanna sound horrible Spencer but your info very misleading. Is that passage you quoted not from a story from the NY times, where reportedly the hackers have been in touch with Sony and are trying to sell the credit card info for £100,000+? And in the same report as your quote, it then says although the credit card info was encrypted, it is believed the hackers made it into the main database so they have everything, credit card info included. I understand if you want to play Sony white knight, but please don't deliberately omit information to mislead people into feeling their info is secure.

Well there's a few articles already on people having money taking out of their credit card, and credit card lists, after the PSN ordeal.

Alexia is right though, Spencer, you trying to omit all this information going on when you're just posting some of the article and not all of it. I wouldn't trust Sony on the whole story of what is going on after their incompetence. It just makes you look bad how you're defending them without putting both sides of situation, like you're a part of the Sony HR machine.

Yesterday...

Why would we see it turn up? I assume you're talking about the stolen data (personal information, emails, passwords and bank card info?) - in which case, what's to stop it being readily available on the blackmarket to the highest bidder?

Today...Just saying!

[Mr. Spencer]

I ain't got any idea what's going on anymore!

[Alexia_Ashford]

Obviously.

[Mr. Spencer]

Hey now, no need to be passive aggressive.

[Alexia_Ashford]

As I've said to you on MSN, I find it distasteful that you only quoted part of the article then said "it looks like our credit card info is safe". The only two options is that you've not done your research and are just quoting something someone else has said, or are deliberately only quoting part of the article to spin Sony in a good light.
