Disclaimer: I’m an XBox guy. It would make me nuts if someone got a hold of my information through my dalliances on XBox Live.
Well, that may be a real possibility for PlayStation Network users. The PlayStation Network has been the target of several cyber-attacks in the last few weeks. One caused a network outage for sometime. And it appears the hackers involved are claiming a third attack will come.
Sony has announced it has put in place “All-Clear Identity Plus” for each of its users to protect those users if their credit cards and information are exposed. This protection includes a $1 million identity theft insurance policy.
But, I wonder how many parents out there who gave their card information to their children, to allow them to get on the Network, actually know any thing about these happenings. I do, because I’m a kid when it comes to video games and I write this guidesite. So, if you are, or know of, a parent or grandparent who may have used their billing information to support junior’s game habit, please pass on the availability of protection from Sony.
