So what do all you guys think about this?

Its really hindering my development on the emu with everything shut down.

This is the world we live in now with all kinds of information on millions, maybe billions of computers. At this point in time there is really no way to protect yourself, unless you exclusively use cash, but you have to be paid in cash, never do any kinds of banking, use a computer, give out any information...can't get a phone etc...you get the idea.

Well I didn't really have any credit card info on my account, so I think I'm safe. I used to use visa gift cards (which have long since been dry and expired) and time cards.

It'll be really interesting to see what they do for all PSN and SOE customers for this, probably nothing but I'd say some free in-game time would be the LEAST they could do. If they pull through this and they don't even do anything for us, I might have to throw in the towel and call it quits with this company. I know no bank info was leaked from MY account (but millions of others) but that doesn't hide the fact that my name, address, phone, email are out there in the hands of people that I .... really didn't want that information to be in the hands of. I feel bad for the many people who have to stop everything they're doing and call their bank, cancel cards, check for fraud etc and there are probably already some folks from this who have had their identity stolen.
