PlayStation users will probably have noticed that the PSN has been down for a few days, and now Sony has explained why - a huge theft of personal data has occurred, possibly including credit card details. Despite its PlayStation Network being knocked offline for the past week, Sony waited until today to notify its 77 million customers that an "illegal and unauthorised person" gained access to their names, addresses, email address, birthdates, usernames, passwords, logins, security questions and more. The company also could not rule out credit card numbers and expiry dates being stolen. But even if no credit cards were stolen, the other details are enough to cause significant identity theft issues.
