Sony posted a notice on its official PlayStation website, acknowledging a number of accounts on the PlayStation Network may have been accessed by a third party. The result is that some accounts may have had their passwords changed, their personal details accessed, and their Wallet for buying stuff from the PlayStation Store used.
Sony is stressing that access to actual credit card information is unlikely, as those details are not displayed when accessing your account. It has now also restored security, so the unauthorized access cannot now happen.
All affected users will be contacted, but Sony is also suggesting that if you have a PlayStation Network account you should log in and check. If your password still works, then everything is fine, and you can go back to playing games; otherwise, contact Customer Support for your region.
