hey guys so today I'm here with a quick update on what's going on with PSN so I was on Twitter earlier and I just popped up everybody started talking about it basically what's happened is is that Sony's finally come clean with what's going on for the past week with PSN so if you're not familiar and I'm sure most of you guys are PSN has been down for about a week and they really have been very vague about what its the problem I hope they just posted a full blog update not how I recommend you get in check it out in the link in the description but basically the gist of it is is that someone hacked PSN and stole a lot of data so I'll actually read through to you guys basically what happened is is that someone hacked into PSN and stole your name your address including your city state and zip code and your country they stole your email address that you use to open up PSN your birthdate your PSN password and login information now that's the important thing I do want to mention now that's not your email past or anything like that that is just for PSN however if you use that same password so for example you know if it's 1 2 3 4 5 6 and your password on your emails the exact same then it is a high chance that someone whoever stole this can use that to access your email or indeed any other site on the entire internet that you used it so it's Facebook or anything like that so what I highly highly recommend is if you reuse the password and I know all of us are guilty of doing that from time to time if you reuse dirtiest and password on any other site anywhere I highly recommend to go change that password as soon as you can I know that's just good just good advice in general always change your passwords everyone smile but this is especially important as most of the time when they steal this kind of stuff the number one thing they want is your password saying get your email Facebook all that kind of stuff span there's a lot of stuff that you do not want to happen so how you recommend go change all your passwords if you ever reuse the same password from PSN now as far as the other day that they stole they of course stole your PSN handle and online ID so they have all that information and of course with your name and address all that kind of stuff definitely a really bad deal they also possibly would have stolen your profile data which anything you would put your profile as well as your purchase history and billing address definitely not a very good deal they also probably stole your password security answers so you know like what's your mother's maiden name all those kind of questions anything you put in PSN very well could have been compromised so this is a really bad deal if you have a Playstation 3 or PSP you have all this information out there there's really nothing you can do right now other than change your passwords and just keep an eye out now they do not believe that your credit card data or your debit card or anything that was stolen however they can't entirely rule it out so what I recommend there I wouldn't be super worried but what I do recommend is just take a look most credit cards and everything you can go online and check your statements and whatnot just kind of keep an eye on that next you know a little while make sure there's nothing you know fishy nothing pops up there and if there's a course contact your bank or whoever owns your credit card so guys just wanted to do this quick update for you a really bad deal but the most important thing I really want to get this across please change your passwords if you've ever reused it and definitely keep an eye out for you know spam mail junk mail all that kind of good stuff and you should be okay now if this you feeling this helpful please share it around with any of your friends who have PSN let everyone know what's going on so everyone can be prepared as far as what's going on anyway guys definitely stay tuned I will be back and I'll make another video if there's any more updates
