If you are a Playstation gamer of any sort you know that the online component to Sony's franchise has been down for about six days and counting. Now after six days with no legitimate explanation from Sony we are finally exposed to critical information that we should of been told right away. It turns out that the PSN was indeed hacked by an outside force (an "external intrusion" as a PSN Blog Official posts). Today we many PSN users are informed by Sony themselves that all of our account information is at risk. If you have billing information linked to your Playstation Network account then your bank account could be at risk. A post earlier today (April 26th, 2011) on the Playstation Blog urges users to pay close attention to their bank accounts in order to catch any mysterious charges made. They also urged users to change their account passwords as soon as the option becomes available (when the PSN and Qriocity services starts running again).
