After the shock announcement regarding Sony saying that every single PlayStation Network account may have been compromised, reports are starting to come in pointing towards the fact that PSN users are having hundreds of dollars stolen from their account this past weekend.
One PlayStation Network user, Josh Webb, emailed us after seeing the news regarding a user having $600 taken from him, stating:

A total of $300 was taken from my debit card on Saturday. However, my bank called me to notify me of a suspicious transaction and they confirmed it was indeed a fraudulent withdrawal. I’ve had to cancel my card and order a new one which the bank will transfer my previous account’s money into. The thing isI worry that many users who linked their bank accounts with their PSN account are in serious danger; I hope they all call their banks to immediately take action and prevent any fraudulent withdrawals.
Here’s the email in picture form (click to enlarge) where Josh requested us to report on so others were notified and took action:

Of course, there’s the story which many believed to be fake that VGN365 reported recently; a PSN user had $600 taken from their account. In the same story, Mike said he was also a victim of fraud:

I had $200 taken out my debit card as well. This occurred in Florida and I live in MN. Luckily my bank’s fraud dept caught it right away and I have since cancelled my card. This just sucks.
Sony had today announced via the PlayStation Blog that every single person’s PSN credit card details may have been and is at risk of being compromised.
VGN365 requests every PSN user that reads this story to take action regarding their bank details. We wish you all – including Josh – the best; good luck.

Guys for anyone panicking just tell the card owner to watch their statements there is no need to cancel right now but if you want to be extra safe you can.
An Industry Expert has said that they probably aren't after credit card information as they probably would of hacked a bank or something. The person who hacked PSN is most likely protesting in some form or showing off BUT ofcoarse keep a watch on your credit card statements better safe then sorry. - Written by me.

I swear to the holy Jesus if one 1p is missing from my account Sony will be receiving so much hate from me it will be like hell. I just hope Sony has a plan to contain this because it looks like this is about to blow world wide if hundreds of people have money stolen, Sony maybe looking at people suing them for a change Lol.
Tomorrow i suggest everybody on here to check their accounts and notify your bank of this issue just in case your one of the unlucky ones. Sony/facepalm

If £1 is out of my dads acc, then im screwed, Really, This has happened before, and it pissed him off, But to happen to a major company like sony, means i wont be having xbl or anything.
I deleted the details 2 years ago, when i was game sharing.
If sony has saved them, They will be expecting a law suit from us
