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.

21 % of psn users went to xbox due to psn being down i found that funny

whoever did this went too far and ruined EVERYTHING for ps3 users i hope ur ashamed whoever u are

That Really Sucks Its Been Down For EVER!

I think that this issue's benefits ain't beneficial at all.

This is why I am glad that I use PSN cards.

Yep, psn cards only from now on...

No one else finds it odd this dude isn't all over the media with this? It was a blip, nothing more said. Nothing said about getting money back, not getting it back, nothing. This is just some lame ass trying to rip Sony. Really, why wouldn't there have already been more theft reported? I mean, the guy who had the card "supposedly" stole $12,500.... that is still a nice little sentence in prison. May as well steal the rest as well, no leniency if its $12,500 or $25,000 or whatever.

You want to know why, because there NEVER was any.

Your credit card info is/was/will be safe, quit taking everything so extreme.

I've been keeping a close eye on my bank to make sure nothing has been taken, so far so good. This guy's card theft probably wasn't even to do with the psn hacking.
