PSN hacked...... Again!

So Sony have just about got back up after being dealt a hefty blow to their PlayStation Network (PSN) by hackers, after millions of user's details were recently compromised. Now as they try to clear away the debris from this attack and get the network up and running again, Sony have been pushed back down and had their face rubbed in the dirt.

There is currently a hack circulating that enables someone to change your PSN password, using only your email associated to the account and your data of birth. Both of these pieces of information were released in the original hack. Nyleveia suggests the following:

"...secure your accounts now by creating a completely new email that you will not use ANYWHERE ELSE, and switching your PSN account to use this new email."

So if you have a PS3 and use the PlayStation Network, I would suggest that you act quickly and do something about this, before this hack gets more public and you become more at risk of becoming a victim of this attack. Alternately you could just get an Xbox...

Update: Nyleveia say that Sony have patched the issue and the PSN will soon be back up and running.
