Notice to PLAYSTATIONŽNetwork Users
We have found out that there has been a possibility of unauthorized access to personal information on the PLAYSTATIONŽStore through PCs, a content download service of the PLAYSTATIONŽNetwork. Although unlikely, it is possible that the passwords of a small percentage of PLAYSTATIONŽNetwork users may have been changed through unauthorized access, making it possible to view users personal information and/or use the Wallet for the PLAYSTATIONŽStore. PLAYSTATION Network accounts do not display entire credit card numbers, so any unauthorized access to your PLAYSTATION Network account is very unlikely to compromise your credit card number.
We have taken immediate measures to rectify this issue and system security is restored.
We have investigated the extent of unauthorized access and possible alteration of passwords that could have occurred before corrective measures were taken, and are directly contacting customers who may have been affected by this incident. In order to verify that your account is intact, we strongly suggest that PLAYSTATIONŽNetwork users sign in to the service. If you can successfully sign in with your pre-set password, your account is not affected by this incident.
For more information, please contact Customer Service.
Remember; do not disclose your log-in or password details on any email communications.
