Sorry Syn, this isn't about the servers, more about the answers we've been wanting to know.
Sony provides PSN update, confirms a 'compromise of personal information'
It's looking like things are just as bad as we feared and that "external intrusion" got a little deeper than we might have liked. In an update on its PlayStation.Blog, Sony just confirmed that the ongoing PSN outage was caused by "malicious actions," which we already knew, but continues by indicating that there has also been "a compromise of personal information." Exactly what that means Sony isn't saying, and it stops short of saying that credit card data for PSN and Qriocity users has been exposed, but the company does say "your credit card number (excluding security code) and expiration date may have been obtained." Yes, it may have been obtained -- even Sony isn't sure. There's no further ETA for when PSN may be back up online or when you might be able to finally sample Portal 2's delicious online co-op mode, but at least you can still watch Netflix.
Update: Our friends at Joystiq are reporting that Connecticut Senator Blumenthal is rip roarin' mad about the situation, "demanding answers" from SCEA president Jack Tretton. Right now, we're more curious what Kevin Butler has to say about things.
Update 2: Sony UK is shedding more light on just what data has been exposed, and frankly we were happier when it was dark. By the sound of things, everything Sony had about you has been accessed. There's a full list after the break, so only click on through if you dare.
[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]
Here's what Sony UK indicates was exposed:
Name
Shipping address
Billing address
Country
E-mail address
Birthdate
PSN/Qrocity ID
PSN/Qrocity password
PSN/Qrocity security question and answer
Purchase history

They got my bank card.
Oh well. Im protected if anything happens. What are the chances they use my info? There are a SHITLOAD of users on PSN.
And NO, you cant watch netflix. Checked a few days back. Unless you can now login to PSN. Which you need in order to watch netflix.
Unless you are watching it via PC or something else. Which has no merit even being mentioned then.

Actually, you can. Tried it yesterday. Continue to try signing in until your queue shows up in the background. Then try signing in once and press B.

Im not even bothering stopping mine.
My bank keeps track of weird purchases through my card. If it started showing up that I was buying stuff in NY or wherever, they would call me and notify me. And the charges wouldnt get put against me.... and id get a new card then.
