major psn update for all psn user read as it is very important?

Question

[UPDATE] Sony's online service continues to be down following last week's "external intrusion"; company admits user info may have been obtained by outside party; some services should be restored within a week; US Senator weighs in.

[UPDATE] It looks like the long week without the PlayStation Network is about to get a whole lot longer. Sony has now confirmed that PSN users' information may have indeed been compromised by the external attack which started last Wednesday.

"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," a Sony spokesperson confirmed on the company's official blog.

As for what that means to PSN and Qriocity users, Sony said that "an unauthorized person" has gained access to such identifying information as registrants "name, address (city, state, zip), country, e-mail address, birthdate, PlayStation Network/Qriocity password and login, and handle/PSN online ID." Sony recently told a group of investors that the PSN currently has some 75 million registered users.

According to the publisher, it is also possible that the intruder gleaned certain profile data, including "purchase history and billing address (city, state, zip), and your PlayStation Network/Qriocity password security answers."

Luckily there appears to be a light at the end of the tunnel, with Sony saying, "We have a clear path to have PlayStation Network and Qriocity systems back online, and expect to restore some services within a week."
