In a statement on their website today, Sony warned users that there may be possible unauthorised access of personal information on the PlayStation Store.The release read: "Although unlikely, it is possible that the passwords of a small percentage of PlayStation Network users may have been changed through unauthorised access, making it possible to view users' personal information and/or use the wallet for the PlayStation Store."

One piece of good news is that users' credit card numbers were unlikely to be compromised since only a portion of the credit card number displays on the screen.

Sony has taken immediate steps to resolve the problem and has encouraged users to login to their accounts to make sure they are still intact. Anybody who is able to log in with their preset password was not affected.

"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," the company said.

If anybody has their account disabled, please post the story here so other users can be informed. Thanks in advance.
