PlayStation Network compromised!

Heads up, people! If you're a member of Sony's PSN online gaming community, its high time you verify the integrity of your existing account. The Japanese company has recently issued an official apology for a security breach. Apparently, hackers have gained illegal access to account information through malicious programs or worms. These were found in some PS3s, leading to reported cases of compromised passwords and PSN credits.

We have sounded out Sony's regional office and are awaiting updates on the severity of the problem. Accordingly to Akihabara news, a firmware patch is in the pipeline and should address the console and network vulnerability. Stay tuned.
