For the many that were skeptical about having the credits cards linked to their PSN actually being used, I've got some bad news for you. Recently, a PSN user stated that $12,500 had been taken out of his credit card which, ironically, was the same card linked to his PS3. The user by the alias of Progmetal said, "I’ve just noticed a transaction on my Credit Card I use for PSN for the amount of $12,500. Called as soon as I could and closed my card. Hmmmmm, sceptic.." He's also got a picture of his bank account showing us proof of the transaction.

The currency was in Norwegian Kroner's. The transaction called for 74,720 Norwegian Kroner’s, which equals $12,500. Also, after the money was taken, the overall balance of the account had dropped to zero, as shown in the provided image. So, has this happened to any of you? Luckily, I've been safe. I assumed that this wasn't going to happen and simply overlooked it. Well, now it seems as if that it is and was possible to have our hard earned money stolen by a bunch of illicit hackers.

Lmao, "Sony, I had $12,500 dollars stolen from my credit card!" "Oops, heres 1 month of PS+, that should make you happy"

lol that was a good one :]

Sony have said they will repay any thefts of money so there isnt anything to worry about

Still not enough proof for me to believe that it was because of the hack.

I'm with you. A pic showing that $12,500 was removed really doesn't mean much. The dude could have taken out that much himself, then just placed blame on SONY, looking for a quick win. I'd like to see where the transaction happened at, something to show he wasn't anywhere near the place it happened.

I just don't think this is fact, or places blame on anything by Sony.

I just hope my credit cards are safe. I believe they have expired by now though; I hadn't bought anything on PSN for a long time. I might yet be safe

Sony is going to refund anyone that has had their money stolen or taken. Sucks for that guy though, I'd be pissed if my money was taken. Lukily I deleted my CC info :p

i hope to god that i didnt have any money stolen

I feel horrible for the guy :/
