IMPORTANT - Time to change your PSN passwords again, A possible hack has occured....

A member of hacker group Anonymous has claimed to have hacked the PlayStation Network again.

According to the 'hacker', a 50GB database of user information has been stolen, affecting some 10 million people.
A list of email addresses and seemingly encrypted passwords has been published, linked to via Anonymous' Twitter account.

Probably worth nipping online and changing your password, just in case.

Sony is yet to respond to requests for comment.

The threat of another PSN hack will be no small thing for PlayStation owners who endured weeks of PSN downtime and the threat of identity theft when the network was hit with a series of major attacks last year.


Will keep this updated as it's still not confirmed as genuine but change your passwords just in case  

I guess if its true, this is what you get when the online service is free

So glad I have never stored any card details on my account. Thanks for the heads up Tom

[UPDATE] SCEA's Shane Bettenhausen had deemed the hack a fake via his Twitter however the tweet has since been deleted leading to speculation that this may infact be a genuine hack....

I dont store my card details with them, but I will change my password anyway

I haven't stored my Card Details - LoL - Sony Suck Balls

[UPDATE] Sony have seemingly confirmed this as a fake now....

"We've confirmed that the recent claim that PlayStation Network was illegally hacked and that customer passwords and email addresses were accessed is completely false," assured Sony in a statement."
