(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Alright, like all the other 77 million PSN users, im not different and we all had our information possibly compromised. What i am wondering now is whether I should worry or in general, who really should be worrying about their accounts. I have a psn account with my personal information on it including my name, postal/zip code, address, e-mail and all the standard information required. However, I gave PSN a fake birthdate which throws my identity off. I've never used my credit card on my PSN account so chances of that being stolen are slim to none. However, I've cancelled both my credit cards (supplementary) and am wondering whether I should worry about my bank accounts or not. I do not have a credit rating as I am not 18 yet so any tips on what action I should take to secure myself from identity theft and credit fraud?

Thanks Guys really appreciate the help Smile

The media has blown the "credit card info stolen" thing way out of proportion. Just monitor your transactions and you should be okay. Winky Winky

No need to worry. A credit card would be the only thing that I'd be worried about but since you don't got it there you're fine. Smile

You can never really be too safe, but just think about it.. Do you think the group who hacked Sony has time to check millions o accounts and see if their credit card still works.

I wouldn't worry to much! Because howmany people out of these 77 million do you just believe it would be your accounts info they would take? It is like a 1 and million chance here! So don't worry to much bro!

Thats true and I gave a fake birthdate so my identity is not fully compromised.

If I were you, cancel them all immediately! and ask your bank to put your account on high alert for possible fraud. They make security incredibly intensive
