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.

how come ? and FML my dad's is on there. This all started because the first ever guy to jailbreak his PS3 was banned, and a group of hackers asked sony to unban him otherwise they would hack the network and BAM! they did.

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
Same here, I never let it save for anything.. On top of that I canceled the day after Sony said there was some issues. 5 days (new card) vs 60 + days(for a refund).

even with card number encryption, that means nothing, if people can hack a WHOLE network filled with 77 mill accounts, im sure they can decrypt a card, then go online and get security codes and find latest transactions. it could be true, it could be false. either way, DAMMMMMN
