For the record: if you have any personal info or your credit card number in your PSN profile you're pretty much fucked.

not really

personal info is no big deal. you can filter shit and request everything from a certain place x to be filtered out
and credit cards can be cancelled/replaced.

This hacker is very clever, so I would not underestimate him. Here's a memo (dated around February) from the hacker regarding the vulnerabilities:

In a way, the hacker is a hero. He has the balls to expose Sony as a fraudulent corporation.

i'm hoping Sony gets hit with one hell of a fine for not abiding by the Data Protection Act.
by law they HAVE to encrypt sensitive user information (well, in the UK that is, dunno about other countries)
