PSP and PS3 Network down!

I have been seeing new about this for a while now. My online job also sent feeds involving this topic due to players(mostly Americans) asking about this new "disaster", as they may call it.

Sony is revealing the reason for the disabling of the PSN: hackers succeeded in hacking and stealing personal information of the service’s users.

So what should you do if you are an avid PSP Network user? Here are some simple steps to do:

1. Change your password - if you have the same password in your PSN account, Yahoo!, Gmail, or even Youtube, change it for the love of god! You don't want your account exploited!

2. Change your security question - very basic indeed. Changing your security question, and obviously, the answer will ensure you have a second security defense.

3. Watch your credit card - look for signs that someone is using them! Though credit card companies have anti-theft system, it is still better if you prevent theft on your own.

4. Stay updated - use google, news, TV or even radios to stay updated. I know you guys are probably mad that you can't connect with your multi buddies! But keep in mind that your money is at stake here! Stay updated so you'll see if its back online or your credit card's ripped already!
