Sony Announce 60,000 PSN and 33,000 SOE Accounts Have Been Comprimised

Sony have announced an attempt was made to login into a massive set of PSN and Sony Online Entertainment Accounts. it appears the login attempts were made using data that was stolen from other companies, sites, and sources. Sony say the majority of these login attempts failed, but there have been some compromised. in all 60,000 PSN and 33,000 SOE accounts were compromised.

Sony say NO credit card information was stolen. all those affected accounts have been temporarily locked. each account is being reviewed to make sure what accessed it was authorised or not. it is possible those compromised accounts may have had money spent on the PSN Store, if this is the case Sony will restore your PSN Wallet amounts.

All those compromised accounts will require a password reset. Sony has sent out an email to all those affected, via the email associated with your PSN Account, the same applies to SOE accounts.
