Geez!!!  Sony get's hacked more times than I have fingers and now Sega.  I guess XBox is next?

 

I haven't had any strange charges on my credit card from the Sony breach. 

 

Has anyone else had their credit card misused from all the breaches?

What does Sega do to get your credit card information?  An online store or something?

Yeah they have a few mini gaming portals. I don't think they are attached to say Flyff, but stuff like that.

I don't really care. The only real feature's I use from psn are all the free ones e.g. online gaming, demos, free add-ons, home, and the free stuff basically. So I never gave them my credit card information. Even if I did, I have stellar identity theft protection, on top of the protection that comes from the card itself. I also have life lock. 161 80 3399 That's my real social security number, do what you want with it.


There's no such thing as a 100% safe business online or off.
BTW that's not my real ss# lol

Just a heads up to anyone still reading this, my credit card that was registered on the PSN was hit with 2 fraudulent online charges last night, totaling around $1,200.00 from online retailers.

 

I don't really use this card for anything else, I've used it on amazon a few times, but I trust them pretty well. 

 

Fortunately the fraud department of the credit card caught this and put a halt to it, but the information that the credit card info stolen was encrypted, is suspect here.
