If you have a Playstation or Sony Network account, its time to double check it to make sure it wasn't one of the 90,000 accounts that were recently hacked.

Sony's Chief IT Security officer posted a message last night saying that hackers compromised 60,000 PlayStation Network and 33,000 Sony Online Entertainment network accounts. FYI, that is less than one tenth of one percent (0.1%) of the PSN, SEN and SOE accounts. Sony has already locked these accounts and reset their passwords.

The statement confirmed that no credit card information is stored or retrievable from these accounts, but it might have been possible that unauthorised charges were made against the "wallets" on these hacked accounts. Sony has promised to refund any such losses.
