The UK Playstation PC Store has announced that there is a possibility that their system may have been hacked and that those responsible may have changed the Playstation Network passwords of certain users.

According to the notice that was posted, the issue has already been resolved and system security has already been restored. Those investigating the incident have already analyzed the extent of the unauthorized access and are directly contacting customers who have been affected by the incident.

To see if your account may have been affected by the incident, the people from the UK PlayStation urge users to try logging in to their account. If their pre-set password works, then there should be no problem. However, if you have a problem logging in, you might want to contact customer service.

Have no lives. Most of them anyway. The "bad" hackers I mean. Like these.

They managed to hack the Sony servers and all they could think of doing was change the passwords of a few accounts? Why not steal their credit number, or download a copy of say the LocoRoco game? Idiots.

well if you think about it they could still get the credit card number and DL the games if they have the pass for the names (or at least they thought they would've been able to still do it).
