It makes me glad I didn't have an account with Sony. I would have expected their security to hold up better, given the company's size. Hopefully they'll make some great improvements to that area in the near future.

I'm not to concerned for my account. I don’t hook my PS3 up regularly enough to the internet anyway. It's only been connected for a week at the longest. But for those who use it Sony's network often hopefully there was no severe damage to their personal info.

Sony announces a delay in the return of Playstation Network:

The additional testing is probably a very good idea. :yes:

Yesterday I discovered that I'm unable to transfer the games I've bought to my PSP while the Playstation Network is down. That is really a problem since I can't play the games I've bought.
