Things just got a lot worse for users of the Sony PlayStation Network. With the service still offline after almost six days, Sony has now said that an intruder stole personal information about its users, potentially including their credit card numbers.
"We have discovered that between April 17 and April 19, 2011, certain PlayStation Network and Qriocity service user account information was compromised in connection with an illegal and unauthorized intrusion into our network," Sony said in a blog post Tuesday.
It was still investigating the matter, but believes that the intruder obtained names and addresses for registered PlayStation Network and Qriocity users, along with their birthdates, e-mail addresses and other personal information.
